Rewatching the entire show from the beginning. I'm up to season 4. This show is even better the second time thru. Truly a masterpiece.
Aunt/nephew is just a theory that isn't even in the books (as far as I know).Oddly enough, "mother fucker" is about the only type of fucker we've not seen on this show.
Brother fucker - check
Sister fucker - check
Cousin fucker - check
Father fucker - check
Daughter fucker - check
Aunt fucker - stay tuned!
Nephew fucker - see above.
Mother fucker - Sorry SLJ, but the closest we get is a 10 year old Robin Arryn still sucking on his mom's tit.

Who were the cousins? I realize this is a rather common occurrence in Westeros, I just can't think of an example.
Cersei and Lancel were the cousins. Also it's past tense but Tywin's wife was his first cousin. I don't believe it was ever mentioned on the show though.
And yeah the aunt/nephew thing is just a popular prediction. They haven't even met yet on the show or the books. I just thought I'd throw it in there.
Speaking of which...After rewatching the entire series, some thoughts. The Starks are going to be key players in the up coming seasons. Just judging from the White Walkers interest in Robb and Bran this seems like a no brainier. Benjen Starks will play a part, not sure how. Sam will find some useful info to help fight the White Walkers. Tyroin will strangle his sister ( since one handed king slayer can not do this with one hand)
More thoughts later.
Obvious not a Wight, what is he? Damn if I know, but I'm guessing he's got a part to play going forward. For the living I should add.Speaking of which...
What the hell is he? He is clearly dead, but is he a Wight? How is it that he is still sentient? Why is he siding with the living instead of his own kind?

He's not a wight since he was reanimated by the Children of the Forest which is also why he is not siding with the White Walkers. In the books there's a similar character called Coldhands who shows up much earlier and leads Bran to the Three-Eyed-Crow. We never learn his real identity, but Benjen is definitely not Coldhands in the books.
Coldhands
Just stitching up a couple of loose plot lines for convenience.....
The books have sort of become suggestions, like things you could do with Rice Krispies......
Do we know he was risen by the Children in the show? I dont remember that tid-bit mentioned.
I missed that. I will have to rewatch this entire season again...Yes he mentions being left for dead by White Walkers and then being saved by the Children. I think he mentions them using the obsidian dagger just like they did to create the White Walkers.
