Game Of Thrones Season 6: 6 Crazy Fan Theories About Bran Stark

6. He Made Jaime Push Him Out Of The Window

This one has been around long before The Door, and admittedly it's one I've always dismissed as absolutely ridiculous.

Now... well, it's still utterly bonkers, but there is a bit more basis for it.

Jaime pushing Bran out of the window is one of the series' truly iconic moments, an event that told viewers just what sort of a show this was, and setting into motion a number of events that have since played out (and continue to do so). But what if that wasn't an act of cruelty from Jaime, but caused by Bran himself?

This one envisages Bran in a future where Westeros has been entirely destroyed by White Walkers. However, through his connection to the weirwood tree, he's able to see an alternate timeline, where things work out better (as 'better' as things get in Westeros). Thus he goes back in time, wargs into Jaime, and has him push young Bran out the window, thus starting the Game of Thrones but saving the Seven Kingdoms.

Even after the events of The Door, this one still seems pretty 'out-there' - how come Jaime wasn't altered? - but then if you stretch you could see maybe a leap of logic: without being paralysed, would Bran ever go to the weirwood tree? The biggest downside, of course, is that Westeros still seems to be headed for a huge battle against the White Walkers, so even if this is true, the alt-future isn't that much of an improvement.
