10 Abandoned Game Of Thrones Plot Threads We Really Miss
5. Brynden Tully
We all remember the Red Wedding for how tragic it was to lose Catelyn, Robb and Talisa Stark, but they weren't the only northerners at the Red Wedding, and the Freys didn't actually kill everyone there.
Brynden Tully, uncle of Catelyn Stark, was at the Twins during the Red Wedding, but he went outside to pee at the absolute best time imaginable. Talk about amazing luck.
In the aftermath of the Red Wedding, a point was made in the show that Brynden was not found among the deceased, and Roose Bolton concluded that he probably escaped. In a conversation with Walder Frey, Roose was worried that Brynden would make it to Riverrun and successfully hold that territory in opposition to the Boltons.
That was two seasons ago, and there's been no mention of Brynden since. Where is he? Did he survive the wedding? Did he make it to Riverrun? Brynden was never the most prominent character, but just the fact that someone allied with the Starks possibly made it out of the Red Wedding should be a big deal, shouldn't it?
You would think we would at least hear some mention of where he ended up.
