Non book reader here. Will we be seeing Benji any time soon?
Benjen?
No
Sorry with so many characters I sometimes get confused. I actually meant Gendry and what about Osha/the little Stark boy that's not Bran?
I guess I'll post this as a spoiler, butno, we book readers haven't seen him since you last did. I mean he'll eventually be back, but we don't know when.
I'm inclined to believe that it's going down that road and I would absolutely love it. So many options if the COTF are working with the Others, but the two in the forefront to me:
1. Bran becomes the anti-hero to Westeros and uses the Others/WeirwoodNet to wreak havoc.
2. Bran gains all of this power and plays a large role in dismantling the Others by turning on the COTF.
Or 3), Bran uses the fact that he has a foot in both the CotF/Other and human "camps", to broker a treaty/truce/agreement that ends the war. I'm in agreement with whomever said above that there was some truce that ended the Long Night, and that it has somehow been broken.
I'm leaning this way. Notice all the stories about the fabled heroes that ended the long night never actually are fully told. You aren't told how Azor Ahai supposedly defeats the Others. Old Nan is interrupted before she can finish the story about the Last Hero, and that's on purpose.
So the Night's King, Azor Azai, and the last hero are all the same guy.... Just depends on your perspective.
And maybe Bran will be the modern incarnation of all three, and brings peace that way.
Speaking of TV show and book readers, you got any comments on The Night's King incident or THAT scene in last episode. I don't know if you have any power over producers but please, do not let THEM spoil the books, while everyone is so focused on us readers spoiling TV viewers."
If something happens on the show before it happens in the book, I suppose one could call that a spoiler.
If something happens on the show, but happens very differently in the books, is that still a spoiler?
If something happens on the show, but never happens in books, what precisely was spoiled?
And how many children did Scarlett O'Hara have, anyway?
Speaking of Benjen, isn't it kind of assumed that he's Coldhands? Did that theory get quashed?
