In terms of stuff you might've missed, there was a lot going on during Bran's Winterfell flashback. So much so that it was easy to gloss over that it wasn't just the Starks and Hodor appearing in their younger days.

Another character, who could easily be mistaken for Brandon Stark, appears in the scene, but this is actually a youthful version of Rodrik Cassel, the muttonchops-sporting master-at-arms of Winterfell.

Look again at that facial hair, and how he fits into the scene, and it becomes pretty clear this is the man who'd ultimately end up beheaded by Theon Grejoy. He's even wearing the same belt.
