Not even a real name, just a purpose

this is a heartbreaker for sure!!! :( I read online that, back in like the year 2000, a fan at a GOT convention saw GRR Martin at the end of a hotel hallway getting into an elevator, and ran up yelling "hold the door," and apparently the author made some strange remark--that the fan never understood UNTIL THIS EPISODE AIRED ON HBO OVER A DECADE LATER!! so that man had been plotting that hodor origin for literally years and years!!!

The actor who played Hodor was supposed to DJ at my friends' wedding and I was pissed when they broke up, mainly 'cos I knew I wouldn't get to see him on the ones and twos.

I know we're at the point where it seems kind of dumb and pointless to quibble about details in differences in book lore but I can't help but notice the specific weird small specific deviations that they made that seem baffling but mostly innocuous, but I think are actually revealing. Kind of like that Jon Snow story in season 2 with his reason to Mance of why he wanted to join them. Innocuous but revealing. In this case, the fact that they changed the fact that the first Faceless men killed the overseers and the masters, whereas the first Faceless Man in the books killed a fellow slave. The former choice is the more obvious one; you are a slave, who do you kill? The masters, obviously. But the latter is kind of more interesting. In the books, the first Faceless Man granted a fellow slave his wish to die by killing him. It's kind of an interesting perspective on slavery and hopelessness. And it's pretty complicated in terms of morality. Whereas killing the masters is just "oh yeah, cool, badass". I think more than anything else, it's these choices that reveal the writers' thinking and intention and why this show eventually went so thoroughly off the rails. Even if this episode was pretty good as a whole. Can't say they didn't get me with the Hodor reveal. And I can't wait to see how much more we're sure to see of this High Priestess Kinvara character and how she knows the things she knows, such intriguing mystery. And just as an aside, in the books, the Ironborn do actually perform CPR on Drowned Men and pretend it's like some magical ritual, it's hilarious.

I was thinking, there must be some mandatory waiting time before a face can be added to the wall, or at least before it can be used. Even in medieval times you can't kill a person and then wear their face around - people would still recognize it years later. Anyway, yep. Hard not to cry when you find out Hodor's ultimate fate and how it has defined his character literally since the first time he showed up on screen until the very end.

Hodor is the best door stopper there ever was.

Joe Blankenship

Since the lord of light is a fire god, I suppose it's fitting that all his priestesses are hot as hell.

What always gets me is the brief shot of Bran's realization.

OldManGrim

The director of this episode was Jack Bender, who many genre fans know from his many award-winning episodes of LOST; most famously the all-time great "The Constant". The Constant episode deals with a lot of time travel going back and forth with a high-emotion payoff. He was nominated for several episodes of LOST, and sure enough he was nom'd for "The Door". When I saw the directed by at the beginning when originally aired, I knew I was in for something good but this is still the episode from this series that I still cry at the end. BTW LADIES YA'LL SHOULD DO 'LOST' NEXT!!

Not Bran ruining multiple lives in one episode

Daymee

Oh god, this episode. Yeah, I had tears streaming down, too. If there are three things that send me into red-hot anger and then sadness, it's violence/abuse of the elderly, mentally handicapped and animals. And in this episode, we get the death of the three-eyed raven, Hodor, and Summer. But let's forget about that for a minute, does anyone else think that Euron Greyjoy looks like Jeff Tweedy from Wilco, or is it just me?

So I work at a custom t shirt printing company, and you would not believe the amount of shirts we printed that said "Hold the door" after this episode aired.

Ryley

This was the only moment in the entire show that made me tear up a little.

Athasin

Bran accidentally took a strong boy (who would've made a great warrior) and turned his brain into mush just so he could be used as a door stopper at this one specific moment...

Very emotionally manipulative episode, because everything about the Bran storyline makes no sense, but I hate to admit it, the ending was quite powerful, despite being quite dumb. Credit for that. Still a really mediocre episode overall, though. So much garbage stuff throughout.
