Game Of Thrones Season 6 Finale: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Winds Of Winter'

6. What Will Bran Do Now?

Though it feels like they've only just been reunited (because, well, they have), Bran and Benjen/Coldhands are parting ways already. Bran needs to focus on being the Three-Eyed Raven, and probably alerting Westeros to the hoards of undead coming to slaughter them, while ColdJen is off to do as much as he can to delay that from happening.

Aside from having his visions, what Bran does next isn't entirely clear. Is he going to stay at the weirwood tree, and control things from there? Or will he move back south, go home to Winterfell and reunite with his family, and prepare them for the coming war? Then there's the mention of the secret magic in the Wall, that stops the White Walkers from passing through. It's been theorised a lot already, but surely that's confirmation the Wall is coming down at some point - could Bran play a part in that happening, or trying to save it?

As for Benjen, I'd like to think we'll see him again, but it may not be a happy reunion when we do, given he's off further North and will probably be a target for the White Walkers.
