I liked last night's episode, but not sure what I'm missing that makes it one of the all time great GoTs?

The last 10 minutes?

I mean, it was good but not like red wedding good

Yeah, it's not as good as The Red Wedding. That's a nearly impossible bar to cross.

This guy called the Hodor name origin, but obviously not the situation, back in 2008.

That was some Inception type stuff last night. Is Bran going to kill Lyanna next?

Really? I feel like we have had three of the best episodes of the entire series in these first 5 episodes. Red Wedding included

I like the theory that Bran causes the Mad King Targyrean to go mad and start burning everyone/everything.

I don't get what the White Walkers want. What is their goal/what are they trying to accomplish?

They were created to help eliminate man from Westeros. They haven't finished their job yet.

She wants the V. Stark nekkid V.

I don't get how Hodor delaying the walkers for an extra minute is going to save Raisin Bran when those walkers move a million miles an hour faster than a girl hauling the sled with Bran on it.

Yea so, I think backwards compared to almost everyone I know, and have opposite taste in greatness/suckiness of shows and movies compared to most on here, so just understand that as I point out how stupid I am here.


But was the whole revelation that Bran visited the past with the Three Eyed Raven, and somehow caused Hodor to have a seizure and become the Hodor we've known all along?

And if he was warging or whatever with the Three Eyed Raven in order to have his vision of the past, how did he warg into Hodor...and was he warging into the past Hodor or the present Hodor?

Meera yelling Hold The Door-->Hodor to present Hodor caused past Hodor to repeat the phrase until the only thing he could say was Hodor.


I just, can't put it all together for some reason. And it bugs me.

I think the delay is long enough for someone/something to show up and help. Coldhands I'm looking at you.

Or maybe they quick hop on a boat and the walkers grimace from the shore again.

Do we know what happened to Benjen? I thought he was still missing. None of the White Walker lieutenants looked like him to me.

 

[deaconson]

Still missing.

 

[DeacdeTejas]

Technically still missing

 

[deaconson]

What do you mean by technically?

 

[EatLeadCommie]

I can't keep up with all the character names. Had to look up Benjen.

 

[DeaconSlim2.0]

I thought I read somewhere at some point that he's just gone...and that he wont be back. But that would be an odd choice the way he was introduced and has been mentioned/brought up a few times since then.
