It's objectively a great episode on it's own, maybe the best the show has had. It going to be very divisive among book readers though because if it's not fanfiction it's gonna put a lot of theories in the trash bin. Black Crow will like it.

I can't believe the amount of will power I'm expending right now! I will not click the spoiler, I will not click the spoiler, I will wait the 3 hours and watch as it airs.

Yeah, I read about that on a non-ASoIaF site I got to sometimes, and the poster said the ending was... (that's all he said and I don't want to be spoiled either, so I stopped reading, and I think our own alienarea got spoiled too, because he's not too happy about it) I would like to say though, if anyone here wants to talk about the episode before it actually airs tonight, feel free. Just please use spoilers Well I ended up watching it. Damn that was emotional. Theory confirmation for several theories: Timelord Bran "Hold the Door" Hodor The Cotf created the Others to fight the men I could see Bran somehow changing the events at the ToJ. Not summer! I nearly cried at the end of this episode. Simply amazing episode. Very excited to learn what kind of door Hodor wants to hold! Very cool if the CotF use the Others to fight "the men"...what all encompasses "the men"? Andals? Faith Militant?

I feel like I got spoiled even though I didn't read any spoilers Our godson just made me feel better, because I was feeling the same as you. He said 'It's Game of Thrones, there's something crazy happening in every single episode!'

I can't breathe. The story had more forward movement in an hour than in four freaking years.
Not sure where to start except... Bran the freakin Timelord.
Must. Breathe.

I was disappointed for most of the first part of the episode. Sappy Dany, The Iron Isles. But the last bit... Need some time, too, to let it sink in. Hold the door! alienarea I thought you were joking. Did anyone notice the guy who was sacrificed by the cotf was a blonde?

OK that was hands down the best episode since the Battle of Blackwater. Absolutely riveting.
Sansa handing Petyr his arse, the CotF creating the first WW at Ground Zero of Winterfell, Bran the Timelord interacting with the past twice, BR, Hodor and Summer gone, the acting was superb (even Emilia). Whoa.
The new Red Priestess was brilliant.
So down to business, we'll have the Blackfish back (w00t), but with Petyr and Sweetrobin take it upon themselves to try and help out Sansa without her knowing?
OK I'm not into Davos this season. Wildly out of character with his instant bonding with Mel, and not pressing the issue about Shireen. Same with Tyrion, he's been one-note and uninspired.
And what's up with the direwolves all dying? I get that Summer sacrificed for Bran, but now a series so heavily centered around the Starks as wargs, there is only Ghost and the lost Nymeria. What purpose does that serve the story?

I was so choked up at the end about Hodor. Poor Hodor! Will Bran go back in time to save him? I feel it's a bad thing Sansa didn't tell Jon about Littlefinger and the Vale...she should still make common cause with the Vale and kill Littlefinger. There's no way Meera can pull Bran anywhere safe. Where can she possibly take him?

I think I'm still in shock. I whooped with joy thinking I'd got it right that, Bran made Hodor, but then it didn't turn out that way much. How the hell did Hodor slip into Walder/Willas? Did I miss something?
I've got more questions then answers out of that. If this what it's going to be like being an Unsullied, I don't know if I can stand it.
George write faster FFS!

Did anyone notice the guy who was sacrificed by the cotf was a blonde? I thought he was more ginger than blonde, but definitely not the darker Stark colouring.

So basically the CotF created the white walkers, but now they've gone rogue, and just because Bran let one of them touch him, the warding on the cave is null?

Why does she not want them to know Littlefinger was there? Is she worried they'd kill him outright if they knew? She's definitely playing some sort of game, I just hope she's ready. There's no way Meera can pull Bran anywhere safe. Where can she possibly take him? If they can make it, they'd have to get behind the Wall. And they don't even have Craster's Keep to help them out, since the wives burned it down in the show.

As soon as I saw the spiral pattern around the tree, I said Oh shit! It was the Children what made the Others! and I let out a whoop for Black Crow!
