GOT season 7 thread

[kandrathe]

They quote an interesting passage from A Clash of Kings which seems to affirm the theory that Bran is most likely Bran the Builder.

How does a myth about a young Bran the Builder advising Durran on the construction of Storm's End imply that he is Bran Stark-the-Three-Eyed-Raven?

I couldn't say. I'm only paraphrasing what the fan-theory website claims, as I myself haven't read past the first book. It's all fun and speculation at this point, but it seems a great deal of viewers hated season 7, including several outspoken critics. The fact is, even if Bran were supposed to be whoever he's supposed to be, the writers are doing so bad, it really doesn't matter because they're clearly doing whatever they want. Here are three viewpoints on season 7, each with different gripes on why it sucked, and their arguments are legitimately painful to read because they are all too true:

I would have to believe it is quite different for the writers once they got past the written plot. Before, they could choose the parts to keep from a rich story tapestry, now they have GRR's threads, and are attempting to weave something decent. But, you can tell the difference. It's a hard choice to stop the juggernaut because of the serendipity mood of the main creator. Or, to just plow on ahead into the void, keep the cast and crew, production company, and try to wrap it up... cleanly, with creative direction from Mr. Martin.

It's like... do you want LOTR all done together with the same cast. Or, do you want the hack job that was Star Wars. I'd vote for the LOTR plan, even if the story suffers... hopefully GRR will get the time and muse to fill in the blanks a bit better.
