Yes Yes, the producers gave us that 'excuse' that the NK is after Bran specifically, but again, why the rush (again, I know, limited episodes)?

Either way, there is definitely a twist coming (Martin laid out 3 big ones for the producers..... Shireen, Hodor, and one we haven't seen yet.)

Does Cersei offer her baby to the NK, as Caster had did, to be left alone?
Does the Red Witch show up and deus ex machina the whole thing? (Don't know if that's a twist, depends on what happens)
Does the NK die, just to have someone take his place? (Is there a continuation of his species aspect to the NK?)

I think the golden company switches sides, I also wouldn't be surprised to see Dario show back up or be the reason Golden Company switches.
