10 Things You Learn Rewatching Game Of Thrones Season 1
6. Benjen Stark
The case of Benjen Stark is truly one of the most curious side-stories in the entire series. He only featured for a grand total of 7 minutes in the first season, yet theorists are still fascinated with him today. Could he be [insert wild, crazy, unfounded, super-powerful character here]? Is he a White Walker? Is he sunning himself on a beach in Braavos? Is he simply dead in the snow? We don't have a clue.
Many people would've forgotten all about him, after all, Benjen doesn't really enjoy many breathtaking scenes, but Season 5 offered a glimmer of hope for 'Benjenists' everywhere.
The Night's Watch traitors lured Jon out by claiming there was news of Benjen. That obviously wasn't the case, but the very fact that Benjen was mentioned so long after his disappearance could suggest that the plate is still spinning above his storyline.
Season 1 offers a chance to actually see Benjen in the flesh to peel any clues out from his every word.
