Absolutely loving some of the reaction vids on youtube for GoT lately. The Burlington Bar has some rippers.

The last guy hahahaaa

Those other things have an evolutionary grounding in the mythos. Willis turning into Hodor before Bran travels back is a logical fallacy. It means time is circular and my biggest issue with it is its as crappy a plot device as it was all a dream.

Why is time circular? If anything it's purely linear. Im struggling to see the critique of this view point. Can you explain?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Just the character. Season one and two every time she popped up I wanted to skip her. Here I am in season 6 and still don't care what she's doing or saying. I just want her to get killed off at some point.

The character is fine, in fact she is developing a shitload right now.

 

[Gigantic]

Hodor scene hit me in the guts but I was more gutted about Summer committing suicide like that. Surely that wasn't necessary?

 

[Dirty Bird]

I don't know if it's cause I'm so late to got. I don't know if it's cause I haven't gone through seasons 3&4 yet.

Hodor dying / finding out why he can only say Hodor didn't get me in the feels like seemingly everyone else. My sister bawled her eyes out, got annoyed when I said I'm leaving want to come hold the door. That YouTube vid, reactions here. I think I'm missing something lol.

Also not getting the Sansa love. Can't stand her. I'm all about that Arya, Tyrion, Jon Snow life.

Sansa started bad, when reading the books (only on book 3 atm) i hate her story with a passion, but ever since she got to the vale, I've really enjoyed her.

Arya is going slow atm, but theres so much potential it keeps me intrigued (same as Bran)

Tyrion has gone from my favourite to the one i cant give a **** about as he's boring me atm.

Jon has almost always bored me but he's such a main key I build the motivation to follow him.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I don't understand the end.

If the only reason Hodor had that seizure was because Bran in the present, decided to warg into him then why is he the way he is before this episode?

Edit: Where are Jon and Sansa going? I understand Brienne has gone to the Riverlands.

Did like the revelation that the tree looking people's had created the white walkers to fight the men.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Why is time circular? If anything it's purely linear. Im struggling to see the critique of this view point. Can you explain?

Linear would be Willis lives his normal life, Bran travels back in time and changes the past and then Willis turns into Hodor in the present or it splits off a different timeline. Bran needs Hodor to get to the tree > creates Hodor because he's at the tree. If Bran executed it like it appeared we either aren't witnessing the original timeline like the Matrix or a circular Paradox.

It could be explained away easily enough, say the Three Eyed Raven saw Bran die earlier and manufactured events to get him there and Bran was simply witnessing Hodor change in the past rather than being the catalyst.

Yep. The White Walkers where created by The Children to fight against the Wildlings and those south of the wall. However, I don't think things went to plan as the WW have now taken over and are killing everyone.

Spoiler

According to some online readings, The Children are keeping a secret, and that's why they needed an army (White Walkers), to help protect the secret. I still don't know what this secret might be.

 

[Sixpence]

Oh and **** you Sixpence for your breakfast time leak post that screamed GOOD GUY DIES IN THIS EPISODE!. Removed any surprise as the final minutes ticked down

I gave away nothing. Stop acting like a spoilt brat and realise that people in other parts of the world may have seen it before you. This isn't an exclusively Australian-resident forum! If it bothers you that much, don't read the ****ing thread in the morning!

You watched a leaked copy, bright spark. Surely that it wasn't Monday in England clicked with you. "Oooo da feels" is a giveaway someone's carked it.

I'm quite aware of how I watched it! Point still stands. You may not be the first to have watched it. Is it really that hard not to read a forum for a few hours?

And if that gives something away for you, then you clearly haven't been paying attention! Someone dies every ****ing episode! Here's a spoiler for next week, some one you like dies. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Why would I expect some dickhead to have watched it before its global airtime?

 

[Sixpence]

But you knew it had leaked. So surely you can expect people have watched it.

Point still stands, I gave away nothing.

Reddit isn't my homepage so no I didn't know that.

Yes you did. Nobody gets dem feels when extras and minor characters get knocked off

 

[Sixpence]

Someone dying was an assumption you made. "Right in the feels" isn't limited to death. Jon and Sansa reuniting was an example of this. You're still getting awfully worked up over something happening even though you had no idea what it was.

You already admitted it was about death. Bit late to spin out of it.

I don't understand the end.

If the only reason Hodor had that seizure was because Bran in the present, decided to warg into him then why is he the way he is before this episode?

Edit: Where are Jon and Sansa going? I understand Brienne has gone to the Riverlands.

My understanding was that because Bran warged while having one of his-past visions, Hodor was able to see his the horror of his own death as a child, traumatising him. Which would explain why he was always so scared of fighting. Never really knew when he was going to be torn to shreds but knew it was coming, yet went along with Bran anyway knowing Bran would eventually sacrifice him to escape.

Although I don't read the books and only really figured out the difference between all the older white guys some time in season 2 so I'm not exactly an authority on the workings or the lore of the show.

To garner support from the lesser houses of the North.

Also it's in the thread title, no spoilers until show airs. Should be thread bans for mouth breathers who watch leaked copies then feel the need to come along and spout shit.

 

[NSWCROW]

Not sure if posted but apparently the Hodor thing was 1 of G.R.R.M.'s ideas.

 

[my name was taken]

Ugh sad episode but thought it wasn't done great, I'm not feeling any suspense this season. Whole season seems disjointed. If the death of the wolves is meant to symbolise something I don't know what it is, summers death was pretty lame and more of a wtf moment, and shaggy dog was just tacked on the end of an ep (if it was him)

Speaking of lame "I command you to find a cure"...blurgh

It felt it incredibly haunting that hodors death is what actually created him, GRRM did well with that one, right in the feels.

The ironborn seem weak minded.

Dorne yet again has vanished from the world, the whole reason people don't like it is because it is just randomly added in, with 0 character development and connection, feels like we are heading further down the path of not caring for them.

Ps. Screw you bran, your action got your wolf, friend, mentor and what I assume is the last of the children of the forest killed.

Also don't know how they could not be caught, cant imagine dragging that sled through deep snow is very fast. Help is on the way.

Well that's my musings on that episode, probs forgot some stuff given the ending.

Edit: remembered Sansa... Sansa growing a backbone after all that's happened makes her character so much more likable. Great development.

He's had it planned for years.
