Yeah this is how I feel about things too. I'm not sure Jon will ever fulfill some great prophecy. I think it's maybe more likely that he won't, but the reader will find out that R+L=J is true at some point, even if it has little impact on what actually happens in the world.
Having never read the books, my first thought was, bitch gonna get poisoned soon.

You're thoroughly eaten up with dumbass if you think he turned Bran into an Old God + uberwarg just for political correctness sake.
Hint at possible Bran Stark future powers
"For roughly 2,000 years the two races fought a desperate war for dominance. The children used their magic to shatter the Arm of Dorne, the land-bridge through which the First Men came, in a futile attempt to end the invasion and later flooded the Neck - where legend has it that the children called upon their gods from the Children's Tower to send the hammer of the waters to smash the Neck, as they smashed the Arm of Dorne, but it was not enough to stop the advance of the First Men. "
Can't believe we are almost halfway done with this season. Hopefully, it kicks up in the last half because this is becoming my least favorite of the 4.

ding ding ding. One way to put Jon in a good spot to become Lord Commander without having to spend a couple episodes going into the whole process and behind the scenes of gaining votes.

at first I disliked the detour they took the last 2 episodes but now i'm fine with it.
On one hand it does just what Mist mentioned, setting up jon to be chosen as the next LC
On the other hand, since it's becoming obvious* that Cold Hands has been cut, the battle with the wights just doesn't make a lot of sense. Without Cold Hands, Their party doesn't stand a chance in a wight ambush, even with summer and bran hulk hodoring and killing a few of them. So this detour was an opportunity to put bran & co in a reasonable amount of danger that they could believably escape from. Also allowed them to preserve Bran's hulk hodoring scene.
*there's really nothing left for CH to do at this point so no reason to introduce him. Save Sam and Gilly from crasters? done already. escort them to the black gate? done already. Escort Bran & Co north? done already. Kill off the mutineer's at crasters? Done already. Fight sequence with bran hodoring? done already.

i expect he will find some pertinent infoz out, but not sure if it makes any difference as daeny has her dragons which can own the wights and sam is learning sekrit infoz in oldtown. then we have melisandre right at the wall. so im not sure where bran will fit into all this.

This being HBO, Bran is 100% headed to tree sex with Meera Reed, a la the original Evil Dead.
I think Bran will end up being the general that brings everyone together when the shit hits to fan and winter comes in earnest; he ends up in the unique position of quite possibly being able to be damn near everywhere (and everywhen?) at once. After he gets control of that bullshit, I can see him becoming the glue that ties everyone together - and quite possibly our window into just what exactly the hell is going on up in the far north.

No way in 7 hells is the Heir to Winterfell/Decedent of the Kings of Winter/Uberwarg/Greenseer gonna be a simple info-vehicle bro.
Sure, Dany's dragons can own wights - but not The Others. Hell they ride resurrected creatures. All they gotta do is bring down 1 of the 3 and rez it to their team. Clearly Mel is just there to rez Jon and to bring the good news of R'hllor.

Yeah I have to agree. Especially since they have been hyping the fact that this season wasn't going to be 8 episodes of setup and then balls to the wall on the last 2. They played it as if this whole season was balls out. So far its been pretty slow.
