Was that Wun Wun as a wight? It sure seemed like him, but how did he get north of the Wall?
Who said it was north of the wall? Could easily have been around Winterfell after the winter has arrived.
It was a flash forward so it is possible.
Where are you getting it was a flash forward?
Well a little bit of 2+2...I thought it was pretty clear but....
it ends with a snap back to Bran with his eyes rolled back. We've seen before (Cersei and wildfyre) that he can see the future as well as the past.
at the start the shot shows a field with some tumbling kind of grass or shrubs....as the storm cloud that accompanies them swallows it all up it turns completely white. we've never seen anything north of the wall that wasn't completely covered in ice and snow.
so it appears to me that it is south of the wall in an area not yet completely covered by ice and snow and since Winterfell already was covered in ice and snow (we saw at the end of S6 as Melisandre rode off for example as well as scenes later in this episode) it may even be south of Winterfell or maybe just another area on the way to Winterfell(??). . Since Winter is here..I'm presuming the ice and snow hasn't cleared in areas already covered.
And lastly just applying some logic we've already seen scenes of the WW army marching toward the wall (without showing a vision from Bran as well).. why would we need to see that again in present time. And if it was in present time - why would you need to show Bran seeing it in his visions. You could just show it as is without Bran.
So basically Bran's involvement means its either a past or future vision - and showing a past vision also serves no purpose here.
therefore....it's the future.
