So Bran's still a kid?
Jon Snow is still a night watchman?
Tarley is still a night watchman?
Dany is still a bride against her will?
Tyrion is still a drunk whore-banger?
Sansa wants to be a pretty princess?
Aria's a weak but striving girl?
Theon didn't die a good man?
Jamie Lannister didn't fight alongside northmen?
The wildlings didn't join with those south of the wall?
What the hell have you been watching?
