Aryas scenes were good. However parrying a hand and a half sword with her dinky one is a tough ask. That took me out of it a bit. But over all a good scene.

Still not sure what they're trying to get at with Bran. I mean I think I know with Meera and all that but I just don't GET it. I did giggle at his little mind**** of Littlefinger. I had to rewind it to see what he said but after I did I was happy with the play on Brans part.

Great episode. Not sure how the **** I'm supposed to sleep after all that.

The simplest answer is that Bran is screwed in the head from having all of the knowledge he's experienced from the Weirwood and is constantly experiencing the present and the past all at once. Hence why he is creepily referencing Sansa's rape when speaking to her due to the fact he's not able to easily discern what's 'present'. This is a likely side effect from being an omniscient mortal like the original Three Eyed Raven.

What might be happening given he was a lot more lucid in speaking with Arya and Sansa but not necessarily with Meera was that he's intentionally acting aloof and disconnected because he thinks that's how he should act given his powers. Given the time he spent with Meera and her brother's sacrifice, he probably cares for her but instead remains cold and robotic in order to create distance between him and Meera to ensure she heads home and isn't in anymore danger from the White Walkers and does so with other people because he knows there's a big chance many people at Winterfell aren't going to make it.. if not outright can see their deaths as premonitions.
