WOW! This is my first time in this forum and I'm shocked at how adamant some folks can be (FF...) I just think that if you insist upon cramming your theories down other peoples gullets....even to the point of being condescending and menacing, that you should at least give common courtesy consideration to the theories of others. I think it's unfair to discount Coldhands as being Benjen Stark due to the fact that his head is always covered....Bran hasnt been able to see his face as of yet. Furthermore....The elk he rides is likely a good indication that he's a Warg which seems to run fairly heavily in the Stark bloodline. He knows Brans's name and sacrificed much to help him along his quest. When I read the quote from GRRM, the first though that came to mind was UnCat, UnBeric, UnBenJen. As for losing part of his humanity but hanging onto a portion of it to fullfill a mission.....He seems to have completely forgotten his vows to the nightwatch and is hellbent on helping Bran on his quest which would speak to the nature of family as a first instinct in life. After carefully reading all of the arguments in this feed, I believe that Coldhands/Unbenjen "FITS" as the third "un" character. Brienne is alive and well although she is obviously in peril.....none of the arguments that you've stipulated have been able to convince me that Brienne is dead and risen. I would like to say though that these are mine own thoughts and opinions and you are welcome to yours as well....I'd never presume to berate others for simply having a different opinion from mine. (a lesson I think some ((FF)) should learn :)
