Is this long-forgotten character in the Season 5 finale?
Hold onto your hats, folks—the internet is about to break (again). An eagle-eyed Redditor noticed that Sky Austria had posted the “Previously On” segment for the Season 5 finale of Game of Thrones and managed to screen-grab it for our viewing pleasure. Included among the usual “here’s stuff you may have missed this season” business is the surprise inclusion of some old Season 1 scenes.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Yes, that IS Benjen Stark! In case you forgot, Jon’s uncle Benjen is the First Ranger of the Night’s Watch who disappeared on a ranging way before Jon had even encountered a White Walker or a wildling.
What could this mean for the finale? Are we about to find out what happened to Benjen on his fateful ranging? Is this yet another spoiler for the long-awaited Winds of Winter? I have so many ideas running through my head that I don’t know which one could possibly be correct. Whatever the case, we’ll be finding out tonight.
Spoiler Alert!
