When/Why will Howland Reed appear.

I'm with you on that one Hilarious Joke. Has to be said that despite its craziness logically it does hold up. So whilst highly unlikely imo it is a possible theory.

Next, someone will suggest that this is all happening in Bran's head.

Ha, ha! Love it, TK. It's funny what a bump on the head will do! He woke up and it was all a dream... all a dream... all a dream...

That wouldn't be the ending we were expecting, eh?

Sounds like something out of Lost.

Would that be "bittersweet"?

 

[Ghost of Harrenhal]

Howland Reed never even existed so he will never emerge from his swamp to tell us what happened at the Tower of Joy. Why does Eddard claim to have been saved by a non-existant man who so conveniently confines himself to a swamp nowadays? Because you see, Eddard Stark is a werewolf and he killed everyone at the Tower of Joy himself, including Lyanna and including Jon.

And then Jon was a zombie.

So it's E+L=J?

Maybe its all in Hodors head and that's why hes simple because its all just a dream and he cant interact or express himself normally because hes stuck, then he will wake up and we will find out he is the real king. And you were there, and you were there.
