That's the whole point of the Hodor transformation from Wylis.
He can't change history - it already happened.
But from my memory, Wylis became Hodor when Bran went back in time as a 'ghost' and warged into the young wylis with the women saying hold the door. Otherwise why would Wylis become Hodor is it wasnt for Bran warging into him or is it all just a coincidence?He can't change history - it already happened.
Bran forcing Hodor to hold the door turned Wyllis into Hodor at the same "time".
Oh i dont know, still feels all abit rushed to me now

Hodor has been saying Hodor though since that fit which is a result of Bran warging into him from the future. If Bran was just viewing the past, he shouldnt be able to warg into it as he shouldnt have any powers (in theory and make believe world), as otherwise he could just go back in time and stop it all from happening.

What are your thoughts on the Back to the Future Trilogy?Oh i dont know, still feels all abit rushed to me now
Second thought, don't answer. Don't overthink time travel in films and tv, my own personal watchword for enjoying fantasy shows.

That really got to me for some reason. Maybe the juxtaposition of Hodor trying to hold the door closed, and being killed by the wights as he did so, with his younger self and the music. Maybe just reflecting that his entire life was F*cked up in order for him to fulfil his role in that one moment in time.
I don't often cry at these things but I did then.
fk me, this thread is hilariously nerdy - you saw the boobs right? I don't often cry at these things but I did then.
Martin may subscribe to an idea of time as cyclical, I love it. It taps into a great many things I like to ponder about, the nature of time and how humans perceive it. This might be the only loop, Wylis was affected because of the connection that Bran had made through space-time.
For me now the bigger question is where is Bran gonna go...I thought he'd be in that cave till the end of his days, now...erm...could he sit in Winterfell...it opens it up so much more, he may not even survive the end of the story.
And the White walkers....would the top bloke have hurt Bran? Is he related?

So quick, flipping brilliant.Is there any particular reason that the White Walkers are after Bran? Is that something which will be revealed in the fullness of time? Or are they not picky and just after everyone eventually and Bran is as good a place to start as anywhere?

Funny.
Obviously the wall has to be dealt with from the point of view of the WW, otherwise, the North would have been hit already.
The big question is...what is the endgame of the White Walkers?

Is interesting question. People last year thought that the Night's King gave particular attention to Jon SNow, I didn't really think so, but am now reflecting on that. Considering what we know. Are the Night's Kings Starks? Or connected? Or is it more to do with BRan's gifts? He might be a nice piece of blood magic to sacrifice to bring down the wall?Obviously the wall has to be dealt with from the point of view of the WW, otherwise, the North would have been hit already.

Theory:
Bran could be the Lord of Light, talking to Varys through the fire.
We all know it's about interpretation...the interpretation of Brans messages.
The reason we are seeing this brief time in history is because it's the birth of Bran...the one with the power to make it all happen.
Bran yelling out to Ned during the Tower of Joy scene was the moment where Bran realizes that he can change the past. The Bloodraven starts acting shifty when pressed about it and won't give him a straight answer, but in this episode, we see the Bloodraven encourage Bran to warg into Hodor in the past. Thus, the Bloodraven acknowledges that Bran must alter the past in order for this story to unfold.
Bran is The Architect. He not only builds the wall, but he builds this entire story. He's the one who tells Rhaegar that he needs to give birth to a child. He whispers to the Mad King. He makes Varys the Spider. He communicates with the Red Priestesses to help them fulfill the prophecy. This story is Bran's life work. The last Stark heir reaching out from a doomed future to save the past.
That is why a Stark must always be at Winterfell - to ensure Bran is born.

So if Bran can go back in history and change it, why not just go back to the time and stop the women stabbing the would be night king
Because if Bran went back in time to stab the Night King, the chain of events after that may have lead to him never existing, if he never existed he wouldn't have been able to go back in time and stop the Children of the Forrest from creating the Night King. The Beaver King said:

Can anyone remind me how Stannis's daughter was cured of greyscale? - likely to happen again?
Stannis brought every maester, healer, and apothecary he could find to try everything they could to save her. The combination of their efforts actually managed to cure her, though the damage it had already done to her face was permanent. It was considered a miracle.I can't remember exactly, but I was under the impression she cured Shireen. Saying that, aside from saying she was cured, I don't remember there being a lot of detail around it.
I could be wrong.
If she had, there'd have been much less questioning of her 'advice' from Stannis & his wife I think

Also:
Sansa:"I can still feel it-- I don't mean in my tender heart it still pains me so. I can still feel what he (Ramsay) did in my body standing here right now." Could Sansa be Pregnant?
Doubt it, we haven't heard of any little Ramsey bds running around and he's not exactly kept it in his trousers; I think he's a Jaffa or the kennel girl would be likely to have whelped for him based on the length of their relationship.Sansa:"I can still feel it-- I don't mean in my tender heart it still pains me so. I can still feel what he (Ramsay) did in my body standing here right now." Could Sansa be Pregnant?
But, unfortunately I can advise that 'violent sex' hurts; for months afterwards
