8) Bran Will Return As The Ultimate Badass
It’s already been confirmed that Bran Stark will be back after his season 5 hiatus, and there’s a very good chance he’ll be something of a mind-warrior when he does.
Apparently during the events of season 5, Bran was supposed to have been receiving training from the Three-Eyed Raven and the Children of the Forest off-screen, and the showrunners have likened this to Luke’s journey to becoming a Jedi under the tutelage of Obi Wan in Star Wars.
The fledgling Warg had already exhibited some pretty impressive skills, but from the sounds of it, they’ll be taken to a whole new level when he and Hodor (Hodor’s coming back too, right? RIGHT??) re-emerge on the scene.
How Bran and his new abilities are integrated into the season 6 plot remains to be seen of course, but one would assume his mission will be to hold back the horror of the approaching White Walkers.
Oh, and I’d be watching my back if I were you, Kingslayer.
