Looking at the preview for episode 3 of season 6 I'm kind of disappointed that they changed Ser Arthur Dayne from wielding a 2-Hander to being a dual weapon wielder.
Still looking forward to tonight's episode though
_______________
The books make it clear that when Bran visits the past as greenseer, he is strictly an observer.
This is incorrect. In the book he yells out to Theon and Theon can hear something, so this is not purely a show invention.
It does seem like it could go down a slippery slope into crazy time-travel paradoxes pretty quick, wondering how they are going to avoid getting stuck on that path.
"He heard a whisper on the wind, a rustling amongst the leaves. You cannot speak to him, try as you might. I know. I have my own ghosts, Bran. A brother that I loved, a brother that I hated, a woman that I desired. Through the trees, I see them still, but no word of mine has ever reached them. The past remains the past. We can learn from it, but we cannot change it."
Jon? The call came from behind him, softer than a whisper, but strong too. Can a shout be silent? He turned his head, searching for his brother, for a glimpse of a lean grey shape moving beneath the trees, but there was nothing, only ... A weirwood. It seemed to sprout from solid rock, its pale roots twisting up from a myriad of fissures and hairline cracks. The tree was slender compared to other weirwoods he had seen, no more than a sapling, yet it was growing as he watched, its limbs thickening as they reached for the sky. Wary, he circled the smooth white trunk until he came to the face. Red eyes looked at him. Fierce eyes they were, yet glad to see him. The weirwood had his brothers face. Had his brother always had three eyes? Not always, came the silent shout. Not before the crow. He sniffed at the bark, smelled wolf and tree and boy, but behind that there were other scents, the rich brown smell of warm earth and the hard grey smell of stone and something else, something terrible. Death, he knew. He was smelling death. He cringed back, his hair bristling, and bared his fangs. Dont be afraid, I like it in the dark. No one can see you, but you can see them. But first you have to open your eyes. See? Like this. And the tree reached down and touched him.
My best guess it that him being alive would be the impetus for the north to rally with the wildlings under Jon to save the heir to the north? Wow is that a stretch.
About to fire up the steaks for tonight
If you cut a Targaryen into steaks, would you be able to cook them?

Honest Trailer for seasons Four and Five of GoT.
Not as good as the first one, but then since the series sort of went off the rails with Dorne that's forgivable.
Also in honor of people in another thread who still fear book spoilers.
