Potential Spoilers Below
These are Season 1 scenes that I believe will have a foreshadowing to the Final season
1. Crows are all liars
· Bran was upset with what the crow told him
“It was just a lie,” he said bitterly, remembering the crow from his dream. “I can’t fly. I can’t even run.”
It would never be the way it had been, he knew. The crow had tricked him into flying, but when he woke up he was broken and the world was changed.
· My theory suggests that Bran is and has been the three-eyed crow the entire series. We just haven’t seen him yet; only felt the affects of his actions. With that said I think what Old Nan says is true. All crows are liars; including Bran. I think he lied when he goes back to the past and passes off stories that happened in his time as stories that occurred in the past.
2. Very Handsome Armor
· Jaime brags to Ned that his armor is unscratched as nobody is good enough touch it with their blade. This will come back as I believe he will be killed by the Mountain at the command of his sister Cersei.
My theory suggest that Jaime will be killed by the Mountain but the Night King will bring him back as a wight. He will do what wights do in the books and go for the throat. Jaime will become the valonqar and kill Cersei.
Cersei says the following in the books that lead me to believe that Jaime won’t make it:
Cersei told the following to Ned Stark: “We are one person in two bodies. We shared a womb together. He came into this world holding my foot, our old maester said.”
She also said this when talking to Qyburn: We will leave this world together, as we once came into it. “He will not lose. Not Jaime. Not with my life at stake.”
3. Curse of the nephew
· Don’t tell Jon Snow you will speak to him about something when you get back or next see him if you are his nephew. Both Ned Stark and Benjen did that and they never made it back to tell him what they were going to speak to him about. For those of you who have followed my theories you know that I believe that Tyrion is Jon Snow’s uncle also. Notice when they parted Tyrion never said he promised to speak to him about anything when they saw each other again; so, I guess that made him safe. The question is when they find out they are related will Tyrion say anything like what his other 2 uncles said to him that seems to be the kiss of death? Does that or will that apply to Daenerys?
4. Sometimes I worry you’re too smart for your own good
· Maester Luwin was trying to teach Bran about the words and houses of the Seven Kingdoms and he would not answer correctly only respond with another house words. It was this that the maester made the comment.
· I think that Bran could have possibly gave Arya the Valyrian steel dagger as he could have got a glimpse of her killing the Night King with it. I think that in the end Bran’s plan is to lure the Night King into the crypts of Winterfell and allow himself to be killed as the 3EC before him was. I think that he plans to warg the Night King and take him over and I think he will be able to do it. I think there is one problem with his plan that he hasn’t taken into account. It is based upon the following:
… but then somehow he was back at Winterfell again, in the godswood looking down upon his father. Lord Eddard seemed much younger this time. His hair was brown, with no hint of grey in it, his head bowed. “… let them grow up close as brothers, with only love between them,” he prayed, “and let my lady wife find it in her heart to forgive …”
“Father.” Bran’s voice was a whisper in the wind, a rustle in the leaves. “Father, it’s me. It’s Bran. Brandon.”
Eddard Stark lifted his head and looked long at the weirwood, frowning, but he did not speak. He cannot see me, Bran realized, despairing. He wanted to reach out and touch him, but all that he could do was watch and listen. I am in the tree. I am inside the heart tree, looking out of its red eyes, but the weirwood cannot talk, so I can’t.
Eddard Stark resumed his prayer. Bran felt his eyes fill up with tears. But were they his own tears, or the weirwood’s? If I cry, will the tree begin to weep?
The Other said something in a language that Will did not know; his voice was like the cracking of ice on a winter lake, and the words were mocking.
· You see where I am going with this. Bran saw the creation of the Night King and that he was a man. When Bran is a weirwood he can speak as a weirwood. When he is the Night King he will only be able to speak as the Night King speaks. Arya will come upon Bran and he will speak to her thinking he is speaking as a man and won’t be understood. That is when he will meet his end.
5. CleganeBowl here we come
· The first round was a draw. I think Sansa will direct the Hound to stop the Mountain from setting off the wildfire that Cersei has placed in Kings Landing. She will go Mad King and Sansa will stop it per her prophecy that is yet unfulfilled:
“I dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs. And later I dreamt that maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle built of snow.”
6. They keep telling us over and over that Bran is indeed Bran the Builder
· Below is how I think he looks now and why:
“Five more castles he built, each larger and stronger than the last, only to see them smashed asunder when the gale winds came howling up Shipbreaker Bay, driving great walls of water before them. His lords pleaded with him to build inland; his priests told him he must placate the gods by giving Elenei back to the sea; even his smallfolk begged him to relent. Durran would have none of it. A seventh castle he raised, most massive of all. Some said the children of the forest helped him build it, shaping the stones with magic; others claimed that a small boy told him what he must do, a boy who would grow to be Bran the Builder. No matter how the tale was told, the end was the same. Though the angry gods threw storm after storm against it, the seventh castle stood defiant, and Durran Godsgrief and fair Elenei dwelt there together until the end of their days.”
· From our perspective in the story he just hasn’t jumped back in time yet. They want everyone to be shocked by the reveal.
When I get time, I will go through the rest of Season 1 to see how I believe they will relate to the final season. But as always, I think everything about this show relates back to the Wheel of Time and the following concept:
Laura Wilson:
What about this notion of time as a wheel? Is that your idea?
Robert Jordan:
No. It's not mine. It is from Hindu mythology that time is a wheel. But actually, most eastern cultures believed that time was circular. The Greeks gave us the great gift of believing that time was linear. And that's a great gift because if time is circular, if everything repeats in cycles, then change is impossible. No matter what you do, it's always going to come back to what is here. But if time is linear, then change is possible. But I wanted the circularity because I wanted, again, to go into the changes by distance. So, the myths and legends and a few of the stories that these people tell, well, some of them are based on our own current events, on the present. What they are doing is based on our myths and legends. So they are the source of our myths and legends, and we are the source of theirs.
Comments encouraged. Love to hear the idea’s of others. Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth. I simply look at the information presented and go from there. If you can shine a light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.
