[QUOTE="jonesy, post: 7602073, member: 10324"] To continue on this line of thought: In the books the trees were supposed to be windows that the Old Gods looked through to see what was happening in the world. That's why marriage ceremonies in the North took place beside them. Greenseers like Bran used that same method to see things. I don't remember exactly, but I think it wasn't like a exact window analogy, but more like they could see the surrounding "land" in a dreamlike way. Like, not just what was in the line of sight of the eyes in the tree. But I do remember that they said something like 'the trees have no understanding of time so through them you can see the past and the present'. Then the Andals came and cut down the trees in the south, so the connection there was lost. No service providers for the greenseers. Edit: since the show seems to have had this idea in the beginning that there weren't going to be any flashbacks, this whole thing present a problem in that Bran shouldn't have been able to see what happened in the past of the south? But since none of this has been said on the show, Bran's powers have really escalated beyond what they should have been, and no explanations given since Bran is a robot now I guess. Edit: the only person on the show who actually knew what the hell he was talking about and who could have explained everything ended up dying right there on the Three Eyed Raven's doorstep. Jojen isn't even supposed to be dead yet (he had this whole prophecy about going home). [/QUOTE]
