drunken giant Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That line is Coldhands referring to The Last Greenseer, who Meera (or was it Bran) has called a monster. Here's an idea. Benjen swings by in the end to choke the life out I like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Martin Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Lyanna, Brandon and Ned are all there but not Benjen... nice catch OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaynsa Starne Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I like this. I like this a lot. Well done, OP. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppa Bolton Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I don't even need to read the op. I know uncle Benjen's still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofless Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I never thought he was dead, but yes, nicely done OP.The George could never write him into that scene if he's going to appear later. So as far as I'm concerned it's proof positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Benjen is totally Daario guys :idea: He can't be. I have an Ultra Crackpot theory that doesn't work if Benjen is Daario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geogus Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I was just re-reading ACoK and the dream Theon has with the dead starks at the feast i noticed that Benjen was not there, could this be a hint that he is not dead. Theon even see's Lyana at the feast and those two have never met and you would presume he met Benjen a few times yet he is not at this Feat of the dead. I just thought this could be a hint that Benjen is alive somewhere possible Coldhands Any thoughts ? Nice catch. It seems a good hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogus Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Not really proof. Theon only sees Starks he knows are dead. Did Winterfell receive the news Benjen was missing before Robb and Theon went south? Even if they did Theon's subconscious would still not count him amongst the Stark dead. Of course theon dream is not defenite proof. Its just a hint. By the other hand, dreams in westeros have profhtic nature. In other words, dreams are related to magic. Person in Theons dream may not be products of his subconcious, but the souls or whatever of the dead starks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Quork Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 This post looks at the links between Theon, Jon and Dany's dreams/visions and it's a really interesting read. http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/112729-a-feast-for-the-dead-a-snow-in-the-tombs-a-dream-in-dust/page-1 With regard to Benjen in particular, there's this: Just occurred to me: No one of these persons answered. Because it was a place for dead Starks. And people Jon called are either not dead (Bran, Rickon, Benjen) or not Starks (his real father, who is most probably Rhaegar Targaryen), so they were not there to answer.

Davosthumb Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Benjen is totally Daario guys :idea: I know you are kidding, but I saw it earlier in the thread too. Just to dispel if anyone is taking it for possible. My opinion is the Jorah would have noticed if Daario resembled his one-time liegelord's son/brother. This is how new threads get started, when someone latches on to something like this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the people in the dream were not dead yet, so the souls part doesn't work. But good points overall. I asked for a Benjen thread and one appeared! :lol: Join us in the Forum Games section. We have a thread just for bumping until Benjen is returned to us. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharn Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I believe benjen has a MAJOR role to play and his disappearence is just a form of anticipation for viewers.He is the last surviving adult stark I really see him coming back to Fu*k sh*t up.

thisistherevolt Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (At the end of TWOW) Benjen: "What the fuck guys? I disappear for a couple of years and the goddamn WALL falls?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazfemur Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 benjen isnt daario for the last time. i have a theory that it takes first men blood, to activate the "Other," in someone. it goes hand in hand with why Craster was attempting to keep his bloodline as pure as possible. Stark's have first men blood as well. I would presume to myself, Benjen may have become an Other (NOT coldhands though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazfemur Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Furthermore, it would also go hand in hand with theons dream not seeing benjen, because i dont think Others are dead/undead. they age (see craster's BABIES taken and growing into OTHERS, they AGE) thus, he'd still be "alive" as an Other (i consider wights dead/undead, Others alive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHouseHB Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 He can't be. I have an Ultra Crackpot theory that doesn't work if Benjen is Daario. Benjen being Daario would make sense if Benjen knows about R+L = J he would want to get in her nice and good and build trust. Then boom he reveals himself at the right moment to be her nephews uncle coming to tell her the truth about her families dark history and long lost nephew. Daario (Benjen) could be the one to direct her and her dragons to the wall to fight the others and he is really the only one timeline wise if Daario is anybody other than Daario. Just playing devils advocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
