The specifics of it, sure. But know I read people speculating (mostly because of the title of the episode) that Hodor and "the door" were connected. So, yeah, you're right. I don't remember anyone specifically saying "hold the door." But connections were being made (at least by me, but I feel like I'm not that smart, so I must have gotten it from somewhere, right?) that the warging/time travel stuff would also have something to do with a door.Monkey_Driven wrote:Maybe I missed it but I don't recall anyone predicting the "hold the door" bit.

I normally don't even know the episode titles until the Blu Ray comes out. I just happened to click on ST's spoiler about them this time.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
I enjoyed this part of the "Ask the Maester" column on the Ringer.
"Sad day for Ser Pounce, who will mourn by clawing a tapestry and urinating on a pair of silk slippers before eating a mouse and falling asleep in a sunbeam."

These people shipping Jon and Sansa are hilarious. My good friend from back home is one of them. He won't let it go. It's like Mulder and Scully all over again. Except with less actual sexual tension/chemistry.

She only blew up the Great Sept, Dev. The city's still there.
