if hodor had visions of this moment at winter fell in the past, when he lost his mind, is it possible that hodor knew this moment was coming his whole life?

Also Bran being able to do this confirms him having a connection to the mad kings whispers I think
 
does it also mean that Bran can also interact with the pass, as the night king was able to see and touch him, giving him a mark, allowing the nightking of the present to attack him

do you think the whole hodor plot was one of the plots given by martin to the tv show, or has the tv show come up with this on their own

I knew it was going to get all timey wimey, ever since my post previously regarding how the young Ned had heard Bran

Awesome episode, I reckon some of the hardcore book fans will be annoyed with this episode and probably others in this series as a result of major plot points being revealed

Children of the forest created the white walkers!

well bran managed to screw things up leading to a bunch of people getting killed. Arya clearly isn't no one. I'm wondering it the Iron Born will be involved in the usual episode 9 battle scene... unless the white walkers attack the wall perhaps(though maybe that won't be till next season).

I don't see how it confirms that, it means it is possible though.

well he did interact with the past, see what happened to hodor. Thought the nights king scene wasn't the past, unless very recent past, he seemed to be seeing the present there, whatever was at that heart tree at that moment, which was the white walkers and their undead army
 
I thought he met the king in the past. As the king touched him, he then knew the right time to attack. He couldn't do it until he gave Bran the mark and it appeared on him in the present. No point before then. That's why they appeared quickly as they knew the time to be ready.

Thought this was going to be the worst ep ever given the first half - but redeemed itself as usual!

Good luck to anyone trying to avoid spoilers today.

I have to ask: what exactly do people expect? That she will strap on armour and sword and go smiting? That would be stupid and completely unrealistic. The role of women in worlds like this were very limited, and she has almost no cards to play except being a Stark. As for gaining steel, I'll remind you that she has survived both the Lannisters and the Boltons. Hardly a weakling.

Did i say i wanted her to do that, no of course not. What the hell....i dont ask for Cersei to don battle armour blah blah blah yet her character is quite nuanced and at least she has an identity and isnt just a passive blob.

It seems to be pretty obvious to everyone except you that she has changed as a result of her horrible experiences with Joffrey and Ramsey. Maybe you're just not so perceptive with these things. :p

I ask reasonably and politely for your opinion on why and how Sansa is more developed and you respond with an insult, nice!

im 100% with you on this, not a fan of the character or actress. one of the worst in the show imo, she starts of dumb and naive and ends up in the whole joffery situation which is pretty uninteresting to watch, it's just her crying as she gets emotional tortured and slapped around for a couple of seasons.

then finally they have little finger rescue here and she goes through a bit of a change and it looks likes shes learning from little finger how to become a manipulator and then guess what he dumps here off at winterfell. I thought she was going to be a bit of a trojan horse, manipulating the other northerners to her side and taking down the boltons on her own from the inside but nope the characters just regressed into the damsel in distress again getting emotionally tortured and then raped.....

then theon comes to her rescue and they escape just to get rescued by brienne. they'll probably have her getting captured by little finger again when he goes north.....such a weak character. just occured to me that she got rescued by the hound in one of the earlier seasons as well (tyrion as well kinda). whenever she's in a bad situation another character always gets her out of it, it's never her talking her way out like say a tyrion.

edit. o and little finger saved her when his wife wanted to throw her out the moon door as well.

Thank you! At least one person here has been actually watching the show. Out of all the main characters Sansa has by far been the weakest because she has been the most passive. She just goes along with everything This is Game of Thrones...not Neighbours. GOT to me has a habit of putting their main characters through absolute hell, trial by fire to see if they come out stronger, a hidden skill becomes revealed etc. Yet Sansa has remarkably been spared the writer's wrath until the rape scene. But she is still accepting of it and does not assert her own identity.

Thought i was going nuts for a second there so thanks sneakysnail...for your insight. Shame others cant do the same and just want to insult people on here for asking a question.

Agrees, it's really amusing to read peoples views on "nothing happening". It usually seems to be the types for whom subtlety and complexity of story and characterisation get a bit lost in the face of wanting noisy action and battles every episode. Bless. :D

On the contrary it seems to be you who doesnt seem to actually pay attention to the show. All you've done is belittle people who dont agree with your opinion instead of offering a substantive post of your own. As i said in my previous post sneakysnail pretty much nailed it for me - the picture we have of Sansa so far.
