Eh, with that speed, we should expect book 7 in 7 years give or take. Not sure he will survive that long

Curiosity got the better of me with the whole Hodor thing so I caught the leaked ep. There's a pretty humorous scene early on in Braavos. It cuts straight into a close up of a flaccid cock once it finishes too.

I mean I thought this was the book spoiler thread, not the leaked episode spoiler thread. There are probably people who didn't expect an episode to leak who come in here expecting people to talk about the upcoming episode, not have confirmed spoilers about the episode that should even be out yet.

But I've already seen the episode, so I don't really care what y'all do.

I'm like 1min into the episode and this is already bad.

Did they really need Littlefinger to teleport to the Wall just to have this scene?

The littlefinger scene was brilliant cause it's basically Sansa being a nerd tearing through Littlefinger's idiotic plans. She keeps telling him what a lovely idea it was to send up to rapeville and how big of an idiot he is, it's all true.

Like, so when child Hodor has a seizure he's having a vision of future Hodor? Is that what's happening?

Bran tries to interact with the visions he has in the books, but nobody ever hears him. In the show it makes it look like Ed sorta hears his future son call out to him?

I'm confused.

E: I am literally wrong. Theon sees Brans face in the tree in the winterfell godswood and hears a voice.

Yeah I think the idea is that since Bran's consciousness is present in both timelines and also very closely linked to Hodor's due to, you know, wearing him as a skinsuit, young Willas has a moment of existing in both timelines also. Which just happens to be the moment of his grisly death. And it utterly breaks his brain.

Not really, he interacts with Theon and he calls Ned and Ned has the exact same reaction he has in the show. Temporal fuckery has been implied by GRRM.

I'm glad thats how Willas was made Hodor rather than getting kicked by a horse.

It's at least cool to think about.

I don't know how Brans going to get away from the White walkers though. Unless they will lose them in the blizzard?

Benjen will magically show up, tell us what he's been doing for the last like 7 years, and hook Brans sled up to his horse and take them to safety.

By the way, this was posted in the spoilers thread: https://ventrellaquest.com/tag/what-hodor-really-means/

quote:

Martin: I always wanted to be an elevator operator. If the writing thing hadn’t worked out…

We both laughed and went on to our rooms.

The final time we ended up together, the conversation went like this:

Me: I finally figured out why you have a character named “Hodor.”

Martin: Oh?

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!

It was posted in 2014 so it confirms that this whole thing is gurm's idea.

"Hold the door" is right up there with "Swing away, Merrill" from M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. Meaning not very good.

I got a feeling gurm intended to be more of a "Huh, I get it" moment rather than a "HOLY poo poo!" moment which is what the show was going for.

"Hold the door" was dumb, but I thought the scene of him holding the door was good. I'm loving pissed they killed Summer though. Dick off, why do they hate everything cool?

The rest of the episode was very good, I'm looking forward to Sansa, Warrior Princess!
