SPOILERS, 3.5 READERS! SPOILERS, I SAY!
BEWARE THE SPOILERS!
Holy crap. What an episode. What a season! This show is firing on all cylinders.
Enjoyed the SNL-esque parody. Robert getting gored by the boar, the actors making fun of Cersei, Ned, Sansa, Joffrey, Tyrion et. al.
People have been poking fun at their leaders for a long time I suppose.
It made me realize this show has been on for so long it can make fun of itself. Where did the 2010’s go? It feels like it just started yesterday.
We learned how the Whitewalkers were made.
Sansa is unhappy with Littlefinger. But she and Jon are off to attempt to whoop Ramsay’s ass.
Varys looked bested for the first time due to yet another red woman i.e. Lord of Light priestess.
And we, very sadly, learned how Hodor got his name.
What say you, 3.5 readers?

Learning how Hodor got his name was much more sad and horrific than I thought it was going to be. Did not expect that at all!
Do you think GRRM thought far enough in the future when he named Hodor or was what his name sounded like eventually turned into a coincidence that paid off emotionally?
It fit too perfectly to be a coincidence. I think it was planned by George R. R. Martin all along.
