I don't know where they're going with this. Will Jon run into Bran? Will someone else save him? At least it makes it interesting for those that have kept up with the books.

They're just trying to give Bran and Jon something to do since they probably want to move The Battle of the Wall till the end of this season. Otherwise both characters have some dry stuff between now and the battle. Expect Dany's stuff to get compressed or changed some too. Otherwise this season is all Tyrion all the time, if they followed the books.
