Some dude in Cairo just punched a camel in the face on CNN.

Finally, Coldhands!

I'm pretty sure his origin differs from Martin's intentions, though.

Are you sure because of something GRRM said or because you interpreted the text differently? I've heard the Benjen is Coldhands theory for quite a while. It makes good sense to me.

QuoteUser _honeybird visited Texas A&M's Cushing Library to read the original manuscript of A Dance With Dragons, which was full of numerous handwritten notes between George R.R. Martin and his editor, Anne Groell. Scribbled in the margins at Coldhands' first appearance, Groell asks, "Is this Benjen? I think it's Benjen ... [smiley face]." Martin's response, circled in red: "NO."

He could be lying, and could have known this would be in the public's eye, but it's what we have to go on

I know the theory, but I'd be surprised that Bran wouldn't have recognized his uncle, even if he concealed his face. Also, the children of the forest said he died "long ago," which doesn't make sense if he only died a few years earlier in the story, as Stark would have.

Unless we're in some weird time loop where Bran becomes the TER in that tree

Last night's episode was epic, but really wanted to see more of Bolton getting torn up.

Eh. Not much that wasn't expected. I knew Sansa was coming to the rescue, just now how. I'd forgotten about Littlefinger.  It was visually great. GoT: Omaha Beach.  But, otherwise very predictable.

It's almost like the writers were making it up as they went instead of having some very good source material to refer back to.

Well, the source material doesn't really have Sansa in Winterfell with Ramsey in the first place, so......

And...... given the scenario left at the end of A Dance With Dragons, it's entirely likely that how that battle ended is exactly how it was going to end in the books.

It's almost like the show's writers have some fantasy novelist working with them to fill in the gaps of what could be reasonably expected to occur in the missing source material!
