I wonder if they'll be convinced to do it this year. Sophie is far and away the best performance this season.
God damn that time travel warging stuff does my head in but fuck it was as such a great scene. As to whether any of the revelations tonight are GRRM approved or not who knows, but damn it's nice to see this story moving forward.
Wondering if Bran can still go back in time and stuff without being in that tree? Or maybe it's all Weirdwoods.
Hold the door into Hodor confirmed from GRRM in the making of this episode. I just keep saying it and getting sadder.
So basically Bran is the most important character in the series is how it seems. We just lost the three-eyed raven, the children of the forest, Hodor, AND Summer all so Bran could escape and do whatever it is that he needs to do.
Summer jumping into that group got my voice to crack as I said "oh no they're killing Summer" to my girlfriend.....slow tears started to build and fall one or two here and there...then the last scene had me in legit crying tears. Just so depressed right now.
Also, because we need a moment of happiness, when Tormund made puppy eyes and Brienne was repulsed? EVERYTHING.
I still can't pin down precisely what happened with Hodor. Like, how was Bran still in the past and somehow controlling him at the same time?
Clearly, I didn't read too much into that line. I thought Bran went back into his own body, then warged into Hodor, hence my confusion when they were still showing him in the past.
As hard as it is for me to think about theories right now.....My guess is the Three Eyed Raven had the ability to both warg into the past and still be aware of what's going on around him/even warg into those around him in the present. And he was passing that gift onto Bran. But Bran getting disconnected from the tree mid-Warg kind of caused something to go wrong where the two realities kind of got crossed up? But yeah, the whole "listen to your friend" thing kind of makes sense. But Bran Warged into Hodor in the present before Hodor in the past all of a sudden got warged into and started shouting hold the door. So that still doesn't explain how he was simultaneously in the past AND in present day Hodor.
Yeah. Shows how powerful Bran can be. Like maybe the Mad King was mad because Bran was talking to him all the time.
