In the final moments of the episode, we finally discovered why the fan favourite Hodor could only say "Hodor", and that his whole life was a casualty to chance and Bran's ill-fated attempt at warging.
Actor and DJ Kristian Nairn has been earning a lot of praise for that remarkable scene and his performance on the show, but we've a feeling that we might be seeing him back on our screens in the near future. After all, those White Walkers could do with some help.
Even if he's an ice zombie, we'll always hold the door for him. Actually, we won't. Those things are terrifying!

Still, at least least Bran apologised (through the actor who plays him, Isaac H. Wright)

Nairn and Wright filmed this interview to accompany this week's shock episode.

In it, Wright gets to the heart of why Hodor's fate is upsetting:
"It’s mortifying. It’s so sad. He’s one of the only characters on Game of Thrones who genuinely doesn’t have an agenda of any kind, I mean at all. He’s just Hodor… So to have him then killed is just the ultimate twisting of the knife. And it really is these good, kind characters that deserve nothing like that and who have been through a horrible time themselves. Because Hodor was just a totally normal kid who was then sort of screwed over by Bran."
