These descriptions for the next episodes of 'Game of Thrones' are not that helpful

What does it all mean?!

Did the Game of Thrones Season 6 premiere leave you hungry for more? Good, because the show certainly has more coming. 

On Monday, the day after the show kicked off its new season with one hell of a reveal, HBO released descriptions for the next two episodes.

We use the term loosely -- because, as you'll see, those descriptions aren't exactly filled with the secrets of the universe. 

For "Home," the episode airing May 1, this is what the network had to say: 

Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) trains with the Three-Eyed Raven (Max von Sydow). In King’s Landing, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) advises Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman). Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) demands good news, but has to make his own. At Castle Black, the Night’s Watch stands behind Thorne (Owen Teale). Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) proposes a plan, and Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide) entertains other proposals.

The big takeaway: Bran is back!

And here's what HBO had to say about "Oathbreaker," airing May 8: 

Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) meets her future. Bran meets the past. Tommen confronts the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce). Arya (Maisie Williams) trains to be No One. Varys (Conleth Hill) finds an answer. Ramsay gets a gift.

Not mentioned here, of course, is Melisandre, the woman at the center of the season premiere's big twist. Is her storyline simply too important to even tease, HBO-style? Or will we go a few episodes without seeing her? 

We welcome your thoughts and decodings of the descriptions above. No, seriously, someone tell me what the hell is happening. Please.
