What's going on guys Carmine here and it looks like we have some interesting news regarding
the casting for Game of Thrones season 7.
One character who we last saw meeting their demise in a brutal but satisfying way is set
to come back.
Now before we continue let me just say that this is not technically spoilers as nothing
is ever truly confirmed unless the episodes come out and we actually see it happen or
if HBO or the cast and crew confirm it for us.
And yes sometimes the cast and crew do confirm spoilers, like how before season 6 even began,
Ian McShane went on a radio show and confirmed that his character will "revive" the Hound.
So take this information however you want but as always if you're someone who wants
to go into season 7 completely in the dark?
back out now.
So according to the United Agents website, a talent agency that is partnered with David
Bradley, he will be appearing in Game of Thrones season 7.
For those of you who don't know David Bradley plays Walder Frey in seasons 1, 3 and 6.
According to his resume on the website he will be reprising that role for the upcoming
season 7 and that has caused a lot of buzz and speculation as to how it could be possible.
Now the first thing that comes to mind is that: Arya is using his face.
Ever since she entered the House of Black and White shes learned quite a few tricks
from the Faceless Men and we saw the product of her training in the season 6 finale.
She poses as a tavern girl to infiltrate the Twins and succeeds in killing Walder Frey's
sons and cooking them up into pies, serving them to Walder before revealing her true identity
and killing him.
I know a certain who would be very proud of this.
Now the main question is....David Bradley has updated his resume to include season 7
so in what way will he be back?
The most common reason for this would be a funeral for him, like we had for Tywin in
season 5, but what would be the point in that?
Tywin was a major character so having him back as a dead body would make sense and it
serves to further Cersei and Jaime's storyline.
And if most of the Riverlands plot is done then I think it'd be a little weird to have
this actor back for a small 5 to 10 minute cameo of him just laying on the bed, considering
he isn't that big of a character despite his big actions.
So I'm ruling a Frey funeral out of the equation here.
As for Arya impersonating him and going around killing all the Freys?
It's possible and a dream come true but the one thing I've noticed that is a big problem
with Faceless Men is....well....height.
it'd be great to impersonate anybody through their face but imagine a Faceless Men who
is over 6 feet tall trying to impersonate a small child.
That would be kind of weird and would raise some alarms to your disguise very quickly.
Maise Williams is 5'1 while David Bradley is 5'10.
If she was going to put on his face and massacre the fuck out of everyone then I think it'd
be a little hard considering people would see Walder coming down the hall and question
why hes so short.
Then again you could argue that shes wearing some stilts or what ever the medieval version
of elevator shoes are.
Personally I think it'd be quite interesting to see Arya wearing his face and taking vengence
out on his family but judging how we'll only have a few amount of episodes then usual I
think it'd be safe to just show a guard or maid walking into the dinning hall at the
Twins and seeing the dead bodies of most of the Frey men lying around.
We would understand real quick that it was Arya's doing.
Another way I could think of as to why this character is back could be due to a flashback
or a vision from Bran.
We could see some flashbacks dating back towards Robert's Rebellion or maybe Arya when she
meets up with her family members again and recounts tales of her adventures.
Hell, Bran could just see a vision of Arya killing Walder Frey and wearing his face like
a mask or maybe even bringing his head back to Winterfell to send a message to their enemies...Wow...I
just realized that I'm talking about a little girl cutting an old man's head off out of
vengeance and using it to kill his family and send a message to their enemies.
ooh Game of Thrones...never change.... but as I was saying its most likely a vision from
Bran.
I'm thinking he'll be coming home probably towards the end of the season, it's my belief
that the mark on his arm from the Night's King will be essential in bringing down the
wall or making its magical repellent properties obsolete and that'll most likely happen towards
the end.
But overall I really hope the show doesn't start bringing back characters left and right
with any sort of magic or flashbacks or whatever just for the sake of doing it.
While Bran's powers are cool I don't think they should be overused to go down memory
lane just to fill in time.
While I would love to see young Ned Stark or young Robert I feel as though there are
better stories elsewhere.
Same goes for Walder Frey.
As long as they aren't wasting the last episodes of this show with pointless cameos and non-frey
killings then I think i'll be content.
But as always let me know what you guys think about all this, Now I highly doubt he'll be
resurrected from Thoros or another red priest and having him as Lord Stoneheart to take
over Catelyn's role would be silly but not entirely impossible.
It could be a flashback, a vision or Arya wrecking some havoc but let me know what you
guys think in the comments below and as always, hit that like button if you enjoyed and I'll
see you all next time.
