Northbound3.0 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Wait... people were saying Benjen would show up in Dorne? :lol:Yup. Read, the last couple of pages and apparently Reddit. It's been amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej6 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Wait... people were saying Benjen would show up in Dorne? :lol:This idea came about from the rumors about a secret actor filming in Dorne. And why should anything be out of the realm of possibility considering all the ridiculous plots we've had from D&D this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolfswood Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 What real nephew? If Jon is Lyanna's he is also his real nephew. I meant Robb. Roose Bolton stabbed him through the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northbound3.0 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well, does Sansa being married to and raped by Ramsay make sense? Does Stannis (the epitome of duty, who declared that one of the reasons he wanted the IT was because of his duty to his daughter) burning his daughter because his food supplies were burned by Rambo Ramsay make any sense? Does any of LF's scheming this season make any sense? If none of these storylines made sense, then I wouldn't put it past D&D to have Benjen appear in Dorne. D&D in their infinite wisdom might have just decided to give the Daynes' storyline to the Martells and Faegon's storyline to Jon.All those make far more sense, than Benjen revealing Jon's parentage to family that would kill him in an instant. As mich shit as we give D&D, for changes they have made and as screwed up as we believe them to be; all these changes can be chalked up to condescending the plot. Are the Martells going to march their 30k plus army, north and bypass KL just to go help Jon for the real war. Doubt it. If Benjen is the one to reveal who Jon is, he will do so to Jon. After that, the North. You know, the part of the realm that would follow a possible true born Stark/Targaryen and young man with battle command experience for the impending war with the zombie apocalypse.

vuk Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Tyenne has pretty nice tits in matter a fact, so why would Benjen freezing to death so far north with all those walkers around without food all these years when he could just go south and f*** all those crazy dornish girls. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, with regards to the Night's King, GRRM stated that the NK in his books is dead but we have D&D show a character and call him the Night's King. So I wouldn't be surprised (even if it made no logical sense) for D&D to have Benjen show up in Dorne. That being said, I think the idea of Benjen being in Dorne defies all logic and is ridiculous.

RightFootLeftFoot Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I think the most realistic appearance for Benjen is in a weakened state north of the wall. Would love it if it was him finding Bran/Bloodraven's cave. He could maybe perform some future role with Bran and co. that would have otherwise been done with Coldhands in the book. But if its him making it back to Castle Black I wouldnt be upset. With little to no mention of Howland in the show, he may be a likely candidate for Jon knowledge. He could also be present in some sort of catatonic vision of Jon's after FTW. All I know is whatever they do with him is going to be pretty different from what George has planned in the books most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how contrived, illogical, and unearned, it could very well happen. I'm half expecting Dany to land on the dornish Coast. She may run into Benjen and give him a ride back to the Wall.

Exactly. People are assuming that because Bran and others were rumored to not be in this season that we wont see them at all. It makes much more sense to me that instead of being a focal point like in the past, that they take a back seat for almost the entire season waiting for other story lines to catch up. Now that we are at the end of DWD material it makes sense that we get either a Benjen finding Bran or perhaps a Bran going into the weirwood network. It would be silly and a very easily avoidable failure to just not show Bran at all this season. The show watchers need to be reminded of whats going on up there. Not to mention it makes sense thematically to show Bran/BR/CotF after the focus on the WWs this season plus its a safe bet that Bran/BR play some sort of role in Jon's immediate future.

ViniciusMJ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 My guess (and I have absolutely nothing to back this up, it's just purely-for-fun speculation) is that we'll see a brief shot of Benjen somewhere far, far North of The Wall. No lines at all, just a shot. Just so we (the viewers) know he's there and can speculate til Season 6. My reasoning? George has said publicly that we'll see deeper into the far north in upcoming books and since D&D excluded Bran & Co. this year -- this would be a way to kinda lead into that. And of course, the whole R+L=J would make sense coming from Benjen (next year) if they're skipping Howland Reed. Plus, I feel like with all the characters D&D cut completely, Benjen and his going-missing-storyline could've/would've been an easy, obvious cut from jump (unless they knew they'd need him later for something). This is really the most likely theory so far. Something like the scene from S04E04, IIRC, when we first saw the WW "making babies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but wouldn't it make sense to report that there will be no Bran this season, if you knew there was only one scene planned for him and in the season finale no less. Especially considering pretty much all story lines (the ones that still resemble their book counterparts anyway) are caught up or past where we leave off in DWD. Say theres no Bran, rather than "yes there will be Bran this season, but not until the end guys!" I dunno I guess i'm just trying to hard to figure out how Benjen its into all this...just wishful thinking on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
