Whats going on guys, Carmine here and today we'll be discussing this one interesting part
in the new Game of Thrones trailer that has many people scratching their heads and has
divided quite a number of you, mainly in my comment section.
What am I talking about?
Well, There was this one part in the trailer that has many of you asking who could this
be.
That's right I'm talking about that brief second that when we saw Bran we also saw someone
else there with him.
Now when I did my breakdown of the trailer I said how it could've been the Three Eyed
Raven, who died last season.
The argument I have for this is that these two were looking through the past all the
time in the many months Bran was in there and the Raven could have injected a part of
his mind into bran's mind or maybe a piece of him lives on through the weirwood network.
Many theories around the weirwood, called the weirwood net, include souls of the Children
of the Forest who have died but live on through the trees.
My other guess is that, because they were connected, maybe Bran can see the Raven and
nobody else can because of their connection.
This reminds me of the Obi Wan force ghost in Star Wars and how, even though Luke can
see him, other people not connected through the force, can't.
There is no word yet on whether or not Max Von Sydow will reprise his role as the Raven,
considering his IMBD page doesn't list him for the next season so this may cast some
doubt on whether or not it is him.
But then, maybe they're using some extra footage of him not seen in season 6 that they have
lying around.
Who knows.
However you guys had your own thoughts as to who it could be so lets go over them.
And Many of you believed that the person with Bran in the trailer could've been Maester
Wolkan.
The House Bolton maester who had brief screen time in season 6 after he announced that Walda
had given birth to a son.
The reasoning behind this is that Wolkan, being a maester, is neutral in the conflict
between the Starks and the Boltons so there would be no reason to execute or send him
away, so he is likely still at Winterfell.
Especially since Maester Luwin is no longer with us, the Starks need a maester now more
than ever.
Which makes sense.
However the one thing that does make me cast doubt on this is that we don't really get
a chance to see Maester Wolkan's hair line because the character in this has a bald spot.
I don't know if Maester Wolkan fits that description but that's just me.
Another candidate as to who this mystery character could be is quite surprising and one person
I didn't think of but would like if it were true: Howland Reed.
For those of you who don't remember, Howland saved young Ned Stark from Arthur Dayne in
the closing days of Robert's Rebellion.
He and Ned were the only survivors from the Tower of Joy battle and also one of the few
people who know the events of that day.
Howland Reed's kids, Jojen and Meera set out to help and guide Bran on his journey, with
Howland's blessing, so it'd be interesting to see their conversation especially if he
was aware of Jojen's abilities and what he has to say regarding the Tower of Joy events,
even though we've gotten our answers as to who Jon's mother really is, there can always
be more information we don't know that Howland could disclose to Bran and the audience.
Many of us expected to see Howland Reed last season mainly because when Jon did win Winterfell,
many of the Northern lords attended the meeting and most of them proclaimed him King in the
North.
It wouldn't surprise me if Howland Reed was there, in the back somewhere or maybe on his
way.
Others could also include Davos,who we know now is Jon's trusty right hand man and will
be sticking with the Starks for the near future, maybe its Maester Luwin?
through a flashback?
the thought behind this is that when Bran does see the past he himself is there but
what tears that down is that when Bran is there he can walk.
Why would he go back into the past and look around like he did before but be in a wheelchair
when he can just get up.
It's a tough one but we'll have to wait.
My hope is that it's either Howland Reed or maybe Maester Marwyn, a new character who'll
be interacting with Sam.
Marwyn is one of those interesting characters who we all thought would be book exclusive
but it turns out he will be making an appearance this season and, if they stick to the books,
he is one character you should keep your eye on.
But, as always let me know your thoughts on this as to who it could be, leave em down
below and I'll see you next time.
