Kings Moot was extremely underwhelming, a few dick jokes and Euron wins (there are so many dick jokes this season, kinda representative of the writing) Not entirely sure what i should think of the Hodor reveal... 7/10 I mean all I see is you hating on the show, so I am impressed you even gave it a 7/10. Hold the door. | ||

He touched you while you were fiddling in whateverland so now he knows where you are. You were never warned of this. Also time travel. Still very sad  | ||

How does that comment qualify as "hating" to begin with? 7/10 is solid, not great but not bad either, at least in a system which makes any sense. But let's be real, the kingsmoot was pretty bad, except for the drowning i guess. | ||

I think Arya's arc is so boring I also was under the impression that you were trolling when you said it's the best part. | ||

Also showed (again) how pov works with Ned being the big fool in this one and everybody accepting it while Arya knows better. Oh, that bit, I was thinking about the 7th iteration of her montage to beat Ivan Drago. But yeah that part was not bad. Interesting 2nd post in 2008 here http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/26325-what-does-hodor-mean/&page=2#comment-1236249 (correct link) :D | ||

The whole tunnel leading to a backdoor under the tree was also incredibly hamfisted writing. It makes me wonder if GRR really intended this to be the particular door Hodor holds. That said, it was incredibly sad and moving, it's just a shame that they couldn't deliver such a big reveal in a way that was less forced. | ||

However, the whole Bran, 3 eyed Raven poorly timed flashback didnt make any sense. Why were they in some useless memory when they know the Night King is coming? Surely seeing as Bran isn't ready, and they have very little time, the 3 eye'd Raven would've taken him somewhere more important than Winterfell's courtyard. The only reason for that choice of vision that I can see was so that Bran could create Hodor, which IS incredibly shit writing.

Seems like the old tree dude should've been more forward about the stuff Bran couldn't do. Also who here thinks the wight won't be able to catch up with Meera who's carrying a cripple on a sled. Does she have monster calves? Even if Hodor held the door for a minute they'd still be caught up to in 2 minutes. | ||

He will also teleport littlefinger around westeros and regrow dany's hair instantly. | ||

I didn't find it sad at all, a little bit funny, actually. | ||

Kinda amazes me GRRM has had this whole thing planned from the second he introduced Hodor 20 years ago. Reminds of me what Oda does in One Piece with his manga storylines and how they are all connected over vast periods of time. | ||

I don't know how you would find that funny. I thought it was really sad. You have this big happy cheerful dude who seems to truly care for Bran in whatever way he can, he's loyal and he's always been good. And at the end of the journey you find that in some way, it was written in his destiny that he'd get mindfucked (by Bran?) to become this retard, only to be discarded by Bran to hold a door until his death. It was forced in the plot but to me it felt like Bran betrayed the guy, not only at the moment of his death, but in some way through his whole life the guy was robbed of his agency, and his purpose was to die holding a door. | ||
