See Another Major Character Return (Video)
By Ani Bundel
How many reunions can one season hold? Game of Thrones seems hell-bent on answering that question, as once again, we the audience have been reunited with yet another character unseen since Season 3. We’ve had lots of characters who disappeared that year come back this season, from Rickon and Osha at the beginning of the year to Walder Frey and Edmure Tully last week. Now Game of Thrones has brought back one of the most important characters and storylines that it dropped for time these last few years.

Spoilers! I hate spoilers! Even my horse hates spoilers.
When we last saw Ser Brynden Tully, known to all and sundry as “the Blackfish,” he had just proven that even in Westeros, there is no better thing than a well-timed bathroom break. His answering the call of nature during Edmure’s tragic nuptials to a Frey allowed him to be out of the dining room just at the moment it was being locked, and he missed out on all the blood and stabbing that went into the moment known as “The Red Wedding.” It also allowed him to be far enough away that when he did realize something had gone south, and it wasn’t Edmure on his new bride, he had time to get on a horse and get away.
Now, this is where the show and books differ. In the books, the Blackfish never left Riverrun. On the show, he wasn’t quite so efficient—partly because the producers weren’t ready for a long siege at Riverrun just yet. Still, he’s there now, with an army.
