Bran Stark: the Fall Guy

We’re finally out of the month of April, so it’s less-than-one-year until the premiere of Season Eight Game of Thrones. It feels like it’s been forever.

The final season will no doubt feature exciting battles and conflict resolutions, but I expect that most of the characters (depending on how fast they get killed off) will be able to hit some narrative beats to bring their over-arching storylines to a satisfying (if possibly bittersweet) conclusion.

Not all of these stories will be happy, and I assume in some cases, rather dark.

Up on the Watchers on the Wall site, I have a feature article discussing young wizard Bran Stark, and why I think his storyline might be unexpectedly sinister. Follow the link below, read the article, and feel free to tell me I’m wrong with righteous indignation:

Bran Stark: the Long Fall

In other news, the second annual Con of Thrones will be happening in Dallas, Texas in a few weeks. If you are coming to the convention, please swing by one of the panels I’m on and say hi. I had an amazing time at last year’s convention.

The long post-convention pre-Season Eight time will be rough. Hopefully I’ll work up some more publishable feature articles for Watchers on the Wall while we wait.

    I had no idea there was a Con of Thrones in Dallas – something for me to think about in Houston. Where are my dragons?
