Must be because it was the three eyed raven who told him to warg into Hodor so he obviously knew that was how it was supposed to go and was probably the reason why he looked worried when Ned heard him at the Tower of Joy scene because maybe that wasn't supposed to happen?

Well loads of characters in the show are dead that aren't in the books so I don't think it matters about the wolves

The wolves are more important than most of the people though

They can't kill off Ghost!!
Also, Arya's dire wolf is presumably still alive somewhere, too. As for the time travel... hopefully they make it "unproblematic" time travel at least (major events are set, you can't change the timeline). Once you stray into the territory of time manipulation things just get too messy and plotlines end up all over the place. One might suggest that the series of events for Bran and Hodor were always as they turned out, Hodor (Willis) was always there with them with the only difference being that he could speak (he was always a bit simple... it wouldn't have made a huge difference to his personality... haha), Bran always warged into him and he always died ho'ding the dor. The "time travel" didn't really change anything other than creating a sort of feedback loop, Bran warging into adult Hodor and young Willis at the same time, allowing Willis to experience his death in the future and breaking his mind a little. They sort of went into this in a recent "Legends of Tomorrow" (in which the time travel is a shambles tbh...) by saying that it's very difficult to actually change time, it wants to go where it's going, like a river. You can throw in rocks and make a ripple, even build a dam to try to block it, but at the end of the day the river will make its way back to flowing where it was always going to flow. OR the whole thing could end with Bran going back in time thousands of years and fixing everything |

I just read someones theory that maybe Bran didn't necessarily cause Hodor to become Hodor by warging him in the past but maybe Hodor was a greenseer and was able to see the vision of his own death at that time and that caused him to lose his mind, I think I prefer that theory than the changing the past from the future bit

Yeah I read that somewhere, I don't like the idea of that, that basically Bran is responsible for everyone dying and all the wars etc, that's horrible

Isn't the Mad King Mad because he heard Bran which drove him Mad?

It's a fan theory, it's not actually confirmed as being true though. I hope it's not true

I suppose it could be a situation in which the Mad King was the lesser of two evils. Perhaps Bran's power grows to a point in which he can not only affect the past but see what happens in different timelines.

Is it just me that's struggling to remember half of this universe atm? I don't remember anything about the Mad King but then I'm only a show-watcher rather than a book-reader.
The reintroduction of the Greyjoys, revisiting the Dothraki, Sansa being told the blackfish was back... all of it's pretty much going over my head. WHAT IS A BLACK FISH. WHO. WHERE AM I?

Yeah I think if you're not a book reader it's harder to hold onto all the more historical characters stories. I regularly have to pause the show and give Gavin a quick rundown of who is who and who they're related to and what that persons story is etc

oh and Shaun the Blackfish is Brynden Tully, Catelyns uncle
The Mad King, is Danys dad, he got extremely paranoid in his later years as ruler and wanted to burn everything. He killed Neds brother and father

I'm not a book reader but, as with everything I watch (plus Marvel / DC etc.) I am an avid Wikipedia reader . I find I get a lot more out of shows like Game of Thrones if I throw in a bit of Wikipedia research after each episode. There are also a couple of dedicated GoT wiki's. They point out things like the differences between the show and the books, too, which can be interesting.

I used to always try to convince people to read the books because they're so good but it looks less and less likely that GRRM is even going to finish the series these days

As an adult or just in flashbacks again?
If it's as an adult, then the two options are that either he's been surviving north of the wall and will join up with / protect Bran now that Hodor is Hodding Dors in Hodor heaven... OR... he's a white walker. |
