Game Of Thrones Season 7: 9 Big Questions After 'Beyond The Wall'

5. What's Bran Up To (And What About His White Walker Vision)?

Even though a fair chunk of the action takes place at Winterfell there's no sign of Bran in this episode, which seems like something of an oversight in terms of the various character actions.

Given Bran has visions and can see through time (albeit it's murky as to what he can and cannot see as yet), you'd think someone might ask him what the hell is going on. Certainly Arya or Sansa, even if they're a little creeped out, could pay him a visit.

Looking at the bigger picture, Jon goes to Eastwatch because of Bran's vision, so he too could've stopped by to ask him some more questions, rather than blindly going based on one raven.

And then there's the fact Bran had a different vision of the White Walkers. There were no signs of the wight giants here, so does that confirm the vision Bran had at the beginning of the season took place in Westeros? (As noted here, it does seem like it could be south of the Wall.)
