Ok but seriously, so what happened--why was young hodor (wylis) affected by bran's warging of current hodor? because he was warging current hodor while in the past, through young hodor?

and of course the big question is, how did present hodor come to be how he was, if it was based on something that hadn't yet "happened" ?

It's called a causality loop. Most sci-fi fans are familiar with the concept.

that shows either amazing luck in a random name of "hodor," or some pretty incredible foresight and planning 6 seasons ahead of time to name him Hodor because of this incident.

im loving this season. Especially the Bran parts. Which is crazy, cause I had come to dread them during the last season he was in.

So if the children created the whitewalkers, why are the whitewalkers trying to kill them?

That was awesome. I'm really glad I didn't read the books and know that going in. Blew my mind. I'd be pissed if someone spoiled that for me.

I guess they created monsters they can't control.

So you think it was just a gimmick all this time for no reason at all?

There are only two possibilities, both of which deserve merit and are not about "luck."

1) GRRM planned the character of Wylis/Hodor around this incident/tragedy which would affect his mental state the way it did, and crafted the name according to the incident

2) GRMM thought of this character who had all the features that Hodor did, and came up with "Hodor" as an appropriate name for him. Then, he decided to come up with a backstory in his universe for how and why this character came to be, and that's when he decided it was because of a warging event gone wrong.

Either way, super well done.

I'm just going to give GRRM the benefit on this one. I don't think there's anything he's done that could leave one to believe that "HOldDOoR" was an accident. Fkn genius. There's a hundred interviews of him being aske d abut Hodor and him just casually playing it off.

Is it okay to refer to him as our lifetimes Tolkien? Better? The world-building is starting to unfold as incredible. I only imagine what's next....

This episode was directed by Jack Bender. He directed the greatest LOST episodes of all time! He's made me cry like a baby more times than I'd like to admit.

RIP Hodor
