Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken'

3. Brienne To The Rescue?

One of the most pointless, dull storylines is that of Brienne and Pod, but nobody earns that much screen time in Thrones unless they have a major role to play. There have been hints of support for Sansa, coming in the form of "the North remembers" and instructions to light a candle in the tower if she's in trouble. Surely Ramsay and the equally messed-up Myranda are both candle-burning situations. Brienne needs a purpose, and closure on her oath that has rumbled on for too long. This is her way to earn favour, and with her nemesis Stannis also en-route to Winterfell, a clash between the pair is a very real possibility.
