Really? That terrified me. It was the first truly shocking moment in the show for me as a book reader.
Hodor?
There was enough speculation prior to the episode to let the air out of that one. It was still totally effective and heartbreaking, sure. But it wasn't truly shocking because too many people predicted it ahead of time.

I didn't see a single thing predicting and discussing Tommen's suicide. It was shocking to me.
I consider myself a regular on the Reddit threads and I had no idea about the Hodor reveal. That death completely took me by surprise.
Really? Didn't we talk about it here in spoiler tags? I don't know how I "knew" about it or expected it if not for this thread. I don't Reddit.
Maybe I missed it but I don't recall anyone predicting the "hold the door" bit. That was the heartbreaking/traumatizing part. People were predicting the Bran warging/talking to him in the past to cause his disability, but that was obviously going to happen.

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.

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.

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.

Wasn't it that Dany couldn't get burned or did he PM you a "spoiler"?
