I reckon they're just gonna cut LSH completely. Wasn't she 'revived' 3 days after death or something? Having her die in S3 and revived in S5 is a huge timegap (even if not in the show itself, to the viewers they'd believe it was) that couldn't really be explained well.
Jojen kind of disappears from the Bran chapters later on and there is a theory that he is the paste that Bran uses as he's died, although essentially getting stabbed by a Draugr like some noob in Skyrim is not the way he goes.
Yeah exactly, you don't see her revival in the books either, she just says it. I also disagree she's a minor role. Its a huge cliffhanger regarding Brienne and Jaime's storylines there and to cut her out completely renders that bit redundant
there are rumours jaime is going to dorne next season though which is ehh... http://winteriscoming.net/2014/06/0...on-tape-leaks-hinting-at-season-five-changes/ not sure how that will work if it's true.
If she isn't going to be used then the entire Brotherhood without Banners scenes were a waste of time.
they could have brienne or Jaime get captured by the brotherhood and then taken to somewhere where they reveal the lady stoneheart is there or whatever
If they dont include coldhands does that mean hes not benjen? I mean surely that looseend needs tieing up?
I don't think he's Benjen anyway. I can't think of any reason within what we know of the lore that he would get a free pass to somekind of super immortality while all his other rangers are wighted. I'm also not sure we'll ever find out what happened to Benjen. I think it's exactly the kind of thing GRRM would do
