10 Abandoned Game Of Thrones Plot Threads We Really Miss
6. Bran And Hodor
Speaking of which, what's going on with Bran and Hodor? The last we saw of the two, they had discovered the existence of the Children of the Forrest, found the Three Eyed Raven, and Bran was apparently about to learn how to control his warging abilities. His storyline last season ended on the Three Eyed Raven telling him that he'll never walk again, but he will fly. Could we see Bran warg into a dragon at some point? That surely has to happen.
And then absolutely no Bran for all of Season 5.
Granted, the showrunners made this clear in an announcement before the season, and the practical reason is because they're now officially caught up with that character's book content. They're pretty much also caught up with Sansa's book storyline, but the writers apparently felt they could more easily make up material for her. With Bran, he's pretty much just sitting in a cave for a while.
But they're still definitely missed and if we pretend this series wasn't based on any books, isn't it kind of weird for a character to learn in their last scene of the season that they're going to be taught how to fly, and then we don't hear from them for two years?
