I'm annoyed that I clicked on this thread because based on different posts, I can tell what happens even without clicking on spoilers.

But you live and learn, I guess.

I guess this episode confirms that Bran or 3ER ****ed with the Mad King's mind and the past is written in stone as 3ER said, cuz what Bran saw must have happened in another timeline when the current Hodor was a child

the Dany/Jorah scene made me cry

[Nialler]

So Bran can go back in time and affect the past?

I wonder if this was George's idea that he shared with the showrunners or if it's something that they made up

George certainly has many bad ideas and writing choices over the years.

None as bad as the rampant rape of Sansa in S5, but still.

Series finale: Bran goes back to S01E01 and stops anyone from leaving Winterfell, they all live happily ever after

that hold the door thing seems like a D&D invention tho, Hodor couldn't speak at all even before all the Hodoring began.

I think so too. GRRM having to explain that whole scenario in book form would be confusing and messy as hell, I don't see it

[ALA]

OMG that ending

did they really have to kill Bran's direwolf too... bleh

[Riverwide]

Just watched the leaked episode.

OMG.

The last 10 minutes are just utterly amazing/heartbreaking. I actually wept.

It wouldnt make sense since the only reason Bran wargs Hodor is because of his mental disability and Hodor being normal in the past makes it impossible for Bran to warg him at that time.

What I was thinking during the past flashbacks was that Bran could change the future, but with this Hodor thing it also seems like what he does in the present has already affected the past... so I guess my theory that in the end certain deaths could be undone won't come true

Hodor's origin story
Summer sacrificing haself

[Thomasuxx]

Omg such an emotional ending

Loved this episode

[Feanor]

It seems like Hold The Door = Hodor was actually GRRM's idea.
From an interview from a few years ago:

Me: I was thinking about your comment about wanting to be an elevator operator. It’s clear to me now that “Hodor” is short for “Hold the door.”

Martin: (laughing) You don’t know how close to the truth you are!

Episode 5 is beautiful

[Aviana]

They probably killed the wolves to cut down the CGI costs, I've read that the wolves are more expensive to make than the dragons..

[keerbyriri]
