JUSTICE FOR HODOR! ~ Game of Thrones S6 EP5&6 Reaction ~ 

I saw it when the episode originally aired, have watched it a few times since, and still sobbed as Brad was watching it. 🥺😭😭

Sometimes it’s hard for me and then I remember him DJ-ing and I’m ok haha. Great guy 😊

legit cant watch this episode without SOBBING bc of how just utterly tragic hodor’s story is… hearing him scared at the door BREAKS MEEEEEE

I had to break from this show for a bit after this episode

My neighbor sobbed so loud when this aired I went to check on him. Fearing hed really been hurt. I usually threw a watch party and we were all a puddle. After he started to come over sometimes to watch with us.

i personally ship them very hard

For sure, if that hadn’t happened he may never have been there in the present, helping them on their journey or holding the door to keep Bran alive

Meera kept saying "Warg into Hodor!" and Bloodraven said "Listen to your friend." Then he tried to Warg into past Hodor and shorted out his brain. Bloodraven knew Bran would need Hodor to be someone he could control. Also now that I think about it, Varamyr Sixskins said once you've entered the mind of an animal it's easier to enter it again. Maybe this also meant since Bran warged past Hodor (but only with the powerboost from the Weirwood paste) meant earlier Bran would have an easier time doing it initially.

This is one of those times where time travel shenanigans can get annoying and nonsensical if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. Needing to repeat a mistake in the past because the mistake happened and needs to happen again for a loop is such an empty path of logic, because what it ultimately means is that there was never any natural reason for the mistake to happen in the first place. The concept of a "first iteration" of events doesn't exist, which also trivializes any choices by the characters as the concept of "fate" alongside a time loop means that no one has to "try" to ensure things happen a certain way; things will play out the same regardless. That is, unless, the story wishes to include the concept of different branching timelines running parallel to each other, which is an entirely different set of bloat.

​@@vindifferenceI was listening to a podcast they were talking about time travel and I was gonna mention the branching, and yeahhhhh it's just better not to think about the science behind time travel, just accept it lmfao

Yeah I agree, and the way I saw it was he experienced his own death twice. God I feel so much for poor Hodor

I suspect it was more than a vision for him... I always felt his mind melded with that moment in the future and it sort of... Broke him... Especially since he wouldn't fully understand what was happening I think it overwhelmed his mind until it just fried and left him like a small child.

In the books he is afraid of dark places like the Winterfell crypts and it’s theorized that this is because he still remembers the vision of his death in this cave.

So dark and so sad for poor baby Wylis

@@lyricmezzosoprano5357yes 😭

same

Yup. Grey men battling in grey places in grey weather at night.

Right?! And I’ve loved every rendition

That's because it's one of the few scenes/ spoilers GRRM gave the writers beyond the end of the books

I wish it was like when I was a kid. I'd make friends because we thought certain rocks looked really cool, or appreciated different kinds of leaves or liked purple. "WAIT, you like purple too!?" Bang, decision made, besties, done.

@@SunflowerSpotlight So real!!

Classes or volunteering can great ways to make friends as an adult. You have to put yourself out there. Suit up & show up ad dad would say.

@@theConquerersMama I know that. I have two volunteer gigs actually! I have formed surface level friendships (for lack of a better term) through them. Where I struggle is creating those deep friendships where we can truly trust and rely on each other. I have chosen to be closeted at one of the volunteering jobs because I volunteer through a church (and have come across a bunch of homophobes) so there's immediately like... a degree of separation between me and anyone I meet there I know you didn't ask for my life story but... Anyone who is lonely already knows they need to "put themselves out there". If it only was that simple 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@pinsandneedles3 oh dear. First I meant this as a general observation. I don't know you personally. Hearing a bit more brings out my Mother side. It makes me sad that your church is not welcoming. I grew up in a welcoming parish. Rare in the 70s/80s or even 90s. So that's not my experience. My heart bleeds for all the people who don't have this gift. There is no end to self righteous "Dickons" out there. So volunteering at a LGBTQ friendly cause might be a start but you know your life better than I do with my simple platitudes. True, deep friendships and bonds take time. That's harder as adults. As kids people are forced through proximity to spend more time together - whether through school, teams or work. As adults we don't do what I call boredom bond. The moments where deep friendships tend to manifest naturally. I do wish you luck. Finding friends is hard. Surface friends can become more given time. People don't need to be your everything/perfect partner. Sometimes it starts with just fanning over the same special interest/artist/ cause. Apologies if this came off condescending rather than older person looking back at life. 💜

He’s a sweet, summer child. 😂

This show will do it to ya

This is my take on it as well. Time is a big figure 8 track where everything that’s happened has already happened. We’re seeing the “present” in these episodes but in order for us to get here, it already had to happen in the “past”, when all of this that we’re seeing now was the “future”.

And the possibility that he lived all those years aware, at least to the degree his damaged mind could be, that he had a terrifying, painful death in his future. At least Bran had the decency to look horrified at what he'd caused

I’m glad he’s in our real world a bit less cruel than the world of asoiaf. I wish him the best in all his endeavors!

That HAS TO be intentional

Me too... the feathers! I'd never noticed!

😂😂😂same here

Same here. That’s a guy who does not live up to his name. 😂 (For those who don’t know a mace is a weapon which is a heavy club, typically having a metal head and spikes)
