Hold the door /facepalm.

this has been such a good season

Hold the door was pretty /facepalm indeed. And really, a temporal paradox? ughh...

Ok so Bran is doing the time traveling tree thing, but then he leaves the tree. He worgs out on Hodor, uses him to both carry himself and yet continues to visit the past with some kind of residual tree magic... and then somehow manages to corrupt Hodor in a causality loop.

fucking awful

Despite any facepalm factor, you should have lowered your expectations by now. I did, and was about halfway through the episode when I said to myself "oh great, minor plotline advances what a fucking waste of one of 15 episodes left in the entire show."

I was in a slump and then bam pleasantly surprised some major plotline advance occurred. I really was on the verge of quitting watching the show live prior to the end of this episode and it was going to go on my stream list.

So Sirken,

Looks like one of us will be right and one will be wrong here pretty soon (next season?) – Danny and Jon have both been declared the prince who was promised by high ranking priestesses of light. Melissandres vision of victory at Winterfell is about to come true when Jon retakes Winterfell…but Danny has dragons…and is completely immune to fire…but Jon was resurrected…I still think Danny is the one and not Jon. HBO version will probably have them getting married once Danny retakes Westeros.

I have thought forever that the white walkers would eventually lay a legitimate siege on the wall and that Danny would swoop in with her Dragons and destroy the entire lot of them in a fiery conflagration…but it seems all the more likely now that Bran will handle the white walker problem as it is kind of his war now it seems. He saw how the walkers were made (the flash back where the First Children drove the dragon glass shard into the humans heart)…So I would imagine taking that Shard out is the new mission.

A little play on names I take it from last night. Something I find often in leading series (e.g. the walking dead too). In this case, Summer dies, and so begins winter. After all, the white walker army was held up, and now seems to be on the march from here on out and with the death of Summer hehe. Winter is here now.

This could turn it around for GoT.

Best episode so far.

Contrived, cringey "I'll take you with me!" Hollywood gernade sacrifice scene (In a fucking fantasy series). And why was the Dire Wolf Summer suicidal, aren't those animals suppose to be smart? He literally just jumped into his death knowing full well he would die despite not a single thing he did stalled or delayed them. Same with Leaf really, she should have just planted the damn thing or try to cause a cave in by placing it on the side instead of suicide. I'm sure she's more useful then the other girl. I got a feeling this was D&D's way of saving a few extra bucks by not having additional CGI in regards to Summer.

Also 'Hold the door' is probably the dumbest piece of writing so far. I dunno, maybe I'm just cynical, but the idea that he was destined to hold a door because Bran warged him in the past is ridiculous and goofy. Time travel paradox in general should not be used in this series, I thought these were just visions.

And let's not forget, the Nightwalkers (Others in the book) were made by the 90's Star Trek costumes. This was the biggest disappointment so far. This fearsome evil race of beings were made by magical plant children. I was hoping they would eventually announce that The Great Other created them. For those who don't know who this god is: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Great_Other A god of darkness, cold, and death would make a lot more sense on so many levels especially since he's suppose to be the enemy of R'hllor, the Lord of Light who Melisandre worships and has been trying to prepare Westeros for the invasion by the Whitewalkers by finding the reborn Azor Ahai.
