The Locke stuff in this episode was poorly done. First he uses his ninja stealth skills to find exactly where they are keeping the kids. Then he decides to grab Bran and make a run for it? What was his end game here, take him out to the woods and kill him? If he was going to do that he should have just did it in the tent. His other option would be to take Bran back to the Dreadfort which would have been impossible to do alone. He also leaves Hodor & Co. alive so they can tell the NW exactly what happened. As mentioned above Jon went there looking for Bran but didn't bother to ask anyone if they had seen him. I doubt mind the show wanting to add some of their own side story lines but it need to put effort into it.
