10 Things You Learn Rewatching Game Of Thrones Season 4

7. The Children Of The Forest

In the huge gap between Bran Stark's last appearance and now, there's been a lot of speculation about his potential arc with the Raven. Will he be a sole provider of visions, prophecy, and flashbacks? Or is there more?

A criminally under-discussed aspect of Season 6 has been the impact of the Children Of The Forest. They're yet to appear in any promotional material, and they've barely been talked about with regards to the new season.

Fans know that dragonglass and Valyrian steel can polish off a Walker, but there's no sustainable equivalent to the icy demons. Well, aside from the Children. They could be an enormous factor in the war to come, and depending on how many there are left, the entire war between 'good' and evil could shift.
