hodor in the books is horrifying. is willis even hodor? bran lives in hodors skin majority of the time, (he would pretend to be hodor by responding to others saying hodor). hodor is even scared of bran. he would hide from bran in the deepest parts of his conscious. (could just be future king bran living through hodor in the past)
@@smokeyislove469yeah it’s creepy and almost perverted when Bran does it in the books, I think there will be a far more sinister element when this scene is shown in winds of winter
When this first aired I cried my eyes out. I was just devastated. Hodor was always a hero. Your reaction mirrors most of ours when we first watched it.
That moment when you realize hold the door is Hodor I think we all gasped and sobbed just like you. I was NOT prepared for this moment and I was a MESS. So beautifully written but devastating RIP SWEET HODOR
Such perfection ... such bittersweet, heartbreaking, beautiful perfection! I didn't see it coming, and I sobbed just like you, Lipps. RIP sweet giant 💔
If I remember from the books, the “baptism” of a Greyjoy was a test. The weaker just dunk themselves a little and sputter a little. The stronger allow themselves to be drowned and their resuscitation showed their favor by the Drowned God. And yes, the Hold the Door scene was a gut punch moment to watch.
The assignment to kill Lady Crane had multiple tricky elements for Arya... she has to watch the revisionist history of the play (written to appease the side that wound up in power), and the actress who is her target is playing Cersei, who is one of the highest on her "list". Definitely being tugged emotionally in many directions.
The Cersei element did hit as hard when I watched first time but while editing I realized the extra layers that added complexity. A very interesting turning point for our lady Arya
One of my favorite scenes in this season was Sansa standing up to Baelish and holding him to account. It was where she started to become one of my favorites.
In Littlefinger's defense, he openly admits to Roose that he doesn't know anything about Ramsey. He rolled the dice when he arranged Sansa marriage to Ramsey and this time it came up craps for him. Sansa is absolutely pissed off at him.
There’s a theory that says when Bran worged into Hodor in the past he could hear what was around him during his death. So while have a seizure, Hodor heard that banging behind the door and he just knew he had to hold it. Which explain why in season 3 or 4 when they were in the windmill during the storm (when Jon was leaving the freefolk) Hodor eas panicking at the sound of thunder! For all he knew that was gonna be the end and why in this episode when things start popping off, Hodor rocks and panics until he’s worged into! Crazy stuff!
Hodor's death replaced George O'Malley's (Grey's Anatomy) as the most unexpected and heartbreaking on screen death for me. I'll never not cry watching this episode.
This is, top 10 saddest deaths in all TV and Cinema for me.. Hodor was put on a path that had him going out a hero. RIP to the greatest hero in GoT! Hodor!
The day after this aired was WILD! I was on campus at university and several times, Sweet Summer Children innocently asked for someone to "Hold the door" and there was at least one other person in the room who violently flinched at hearing that phrase. Total strangers were comforting each other over being triggered by a commonplace phrase. I'll never forget that.
It is crazy that people who never met have the same reaction. When I first watched it, I had the exact same reaction to the ending. I couldn’t help myself, but to cry. Hodor isn’t well-versed, but he had something about him that made me love the character. Seeing him go like this, makes me sad and proud, because there are more useless deaths for beloved characters. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us.
I think the thing that gets me the most, is because at the point when Bran merges with both Hodors across time. I believe as with the three eyed Raven's power,he shared what Bran did.. And i think Hodor hence knows things. If you think about it, when the storm first starts in the tower and Hodor is relestess (was it because of the Storm! or was it because he knew that was the first time ,Bran would take him over)... So i think he is aware due to Bran having merged with him in his past, he is aware of the times that Bran will take him over, like in the Tower and when he is used to kill at Krasters keep, and outside the three eyed raven's tree.
At work we have a doorstopper with Hodor written on it. I wonder if people who haven't yet seen this episode would be able to make this connection and maybe guess this plot twist after seing that doorstop.
Very very hard, glitch in the matrix when Bran possesses Hodor from the past but.. I am happy because I know that Hodor will always be there holding my door... (my doormat is Hold the Door) 🖤❄&🔥´♬
This is a top 10 episode for me from the series, maybe top 5. Take away the dramatic ending, which was crazy and terrible at the same time, the scene with Theon giving the speech, Euron getting drowned, the red priestess… this episode has it all.
This episode was devastating to me when i saw it for the first time. The "Hodor's plot twist" is so clever and interesting. But it also brings some questions and problems: Did J.R.R. Martin choose the name Hodor purposly and did he have this in his mind from the beginning? And how translators solved the Hodor/Hold the door thing in other languages?
The Varys/Tyrion scene provides some hint of what's coming. The situation in Meereen is becoming untenable. The threat of a foreign invasion is becoming very real and meanwhile the city is a powder keg all on its own.
Buenas Tardes ,The Bust Reactions guys did a good job on chapter of Hodor after watching this tragic episode, you have to see it. and they made their own song dedicated
Brienne is the only one who knows Sansa lied about Littlefinger but Sansa then immediately sends her away. It's a good guess she has a reason for doing this.
Ya termine de ver el video, and..Of course we cry together for Wilys and yes, the supreme sparrow is very tiring, but keep in mind that you are already reaching the la montaña rusa, the ecatombe, the sublime, the never seen in the annals of history,, are you ready?
The funny thing is that you started to lose it during the Hodor sequence, exactly when I did. I'm a grown man in my 40s, and I'm glad I didn't go to the live viewing at the bar that week.
i think this is probably some of their best work in terms of revealing a secret. the editing and back and forth and the music. it's done so well and pulls at your heart.
Yeah I’m excited to go back through the series cause I feel like they were so present yet so elusive. And I still dont really know how to feel about them
I dunno how y'all do it, when this episode ended I sat unmoving in silence for minimum ten minutes just hearing the echoes of his cries on a loop. Just sat there leaned up against my bed frame staring at some spot or other in my room who even cares I wasn't looking. If there was a camera on me I would have either done the exact same thing and presumably just cut to black when the episode ended, or else punched it. And I'm not even a punching guy. Wouldn't even have been anger or whatever else. Just an effort to move quickly. Reached to "turn it off" and just ended up punching it with my palm 'cuz neither "saving my camera" nor "not looking like an aggro d!ck who can't control his emotions" would have made me move more slowly The objectively two most unfailingly decent humans in the show have now got two of the worst d3aths in the entire extended lore. I don't say THE worst I'm sure that goes to the shell of Theon or maybe some of Euron's victims or whatever, but certainly high tier. Burned alive in front of your stone faced father and sobbing restrained mother, and *gestures at this* you know, something something your entire life is a complex dumpster fire of mentally distracted [you know, like you can only repeat the command that reached back in time to demand your life] servitude, but to a good kid, but isn't saying he loves him just like victim blaming, but [blah blah blah where does it end] I dunno if I'm in a minority here but I'll take another 17 red weddings before you ever do that to me again. Red wedding is easy. Those are the bad guys. This is a bad thing. That sucked. ....wtf do I do with this....? I just live with it. It's not even real. But the minutia is. The themes are. I just live with it now. No "here's what happens next". That just, happened. He got torn to death by skeleton fingers and his whole life was repeating the command that demanded his life. "You could talk.. ..what happened?" "Hodor". I can't rewatch that without projecting onto the tone of his voice the implications of "....what do you mean? ...you know what happened"
He really, if you listen to the "what happened" exchange when he says "Hodor" like he lilts up in the middle of the word as if to indicate a question but there's finality in the tone of the end of the word. He's quizzical yet final. Something is almost confusing, but everything is certain. ....so maybe the confusion is confusion at the question.... why would you ask.... and the certainty is in the completeness of the answer..... as if to say there is nothing unclear...... as if to say you know....... as if to say you happened.................
To me this is the end of the Game of Thrones series. This is where the left GRR Martin and tried to write their own stories. They failed. I know it will likely never happen, but I hope GRR Martin can finish the series and if he can't I hope he has an assistant where he has told where the story is going so he can finish ir The GOT series ending was awful.
That's George RR Martin that wrote this. He told the show writers that this was the plot for Hodor. So blame the same guy who did this to Ned, Catelyn, Rob, Oberyn, etc. :P
Show Euron is such a disappointment because in the books he is genuinely terrifying and in the show he's more of just a f-ckboy. With full respect to Pilou Asbæk who did the best with what he was given. But also why do they even call him Crow's Eye. He has two normal eyes.
I haven't read the books, but I've seen this sentiment from many who have. I don't have Joffrey/Ramsey level hate for him, but I do hate him A LOT. He's not even an entertaining villian, he's just corny and gross.
@@DavidSSabb I read some of the preview chapters quite some time ago but frankly I've given up on Winds of Winter. In the complete books, Euron is emblematic of what's wrong with the last two books: yet another character added too late in an already bulging and diverging narrative.
17:40 She lied to him about river run for idiotic storyline reasons because at this stage in GoT the writers were practically running on empty. It's such a pity how badly this show went downhill

Yall got me crying at work while I read through comments 😭😭😭
Not me commenting from my gaming account. Anyway! I game too 🙂↕️
I SOBBED at Hodor's death. He was given the Stark theme song 🐺🩶 Thank you Willis for going with Bran even though you knew your fate 😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It was a punch in the gut
Hodor’s reveal and death always guaranteed to make me cry. Yep.
The kid should have won an Oscar just for that one short scene.
He won my heart
This episode made the elevator so traumatic the next day.... so many people were secretly communicating for months after this. Hold the Door!
😭😭😭 I’ll cry every time I’m in an elevator now
That moment when you realize hold the door is Hodor I think we all gasped and sobbed just like you. I was NOT prepared for this moment and I was a MESS. So beautifully written but devastating RIP SWEET HODOR
Big hugs!! We all were heartbroken!! 😢😢
So, thanks to Bran not listening, we lose Hodor, Summer, The Three Eyed Raven, and The Children of the Forest.
Oof. It's been a while since I had the guts to watch this episode.
I can understand why
Such perfection ... such bittersweet, heartbreaking, beautiful perfection! I didn't see it coming, and I sobbed just like you, Lipps. RIP sweet giant 💔
He was one of the best characters. And his ending was tragic
In the top 10
Saddest GOT moments… Hodor… Great reaction and review…
Truly. I could hardly edit this as I couldn’t see through my tears
@@LippsReacts you did well… The next half of season six is fast paced and exhilarating, buckle up… Enjoy your channel 👊🏻
Another unbelievably shocking and emotional moment in this show, which had an endless supply of them. This one was gutting.
If I remember from the books, the “baptism” of a Greyjoy was a test. The weaker just dunk themselves a little and sputter a little. The stronger allow themselves to be drowned and their resuscitation showed their favor by the Drowned God.
And yes, the Hold the Door scene was a gut punch moment to watch.
Such a brilliant plot twist. So well carried out. All of us reactor fans circle 6x5 on all the channels.
GRRM told Dan and Dave 3 plot points about the end of the series: Shireen's death, Hodor, and one more...
One more... 😈
I believe that the Children creating the White Walkers was also one of the plot points they learned from him.
The assignment to kill Lady Crane had multiple tricky elements for Arya... she has to watch the revisionist history of the play (written to appease the side that wound up in power), and the actress who is her target is playing Cersei, who is one of the highest on her "list". Definitely being tugged emotionally in many directions.
The Cersei element did hit as hard when I watched first time but while editing I realized the extra layers that added complexity. A very interesting turning point for our lady Arya
This reveal of Hodor and his death was thw saddest moment for me. Lipps, i love your reaction! Brought back all of those feelings!
it was so well done, probably one of the best reveals of the show. my heart still aches

Watched this with a group of people when it aired. When I tell you the room was silent during the credits. Lol Nobody was even breathing.
Hi, I'm a fan of your Game of Thrones reactions, I'm from Brazil, and I follow your channel.
Sneaky lip bite when Euron was going through his ceremony, I caught that 👀🤭
Hold the phone, lock the door. This is going to be a good one.
Hodor's story is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC.
SAY THAT AGAIN 😭😭😭😭
Very very hard, glitch in the matrix when Bran possesses Hodor from the past but..
I am happy because I know that Hodor will always be there holding my door...
(my doormat is Hold the Door) 🖤❄&🔥´♬
I still cry rewatching this episode.
THE most heart breaking ep of GOT. I cry every single time.
The Door is similar to The Red Wedding for me, I can watch them both except for Grey Wind and Summer getting killed
Willis knew his mission all along.
This death made me cry the most, hands down.
"I'm not even gonna cry today"
*Lipps*: buuuuttt what if iiiiiiiiii wereee toooo upload?
I have a HOLD THE DOOR Front door mat... lol.
They played the stark theme for hodor. Rip hodor
This is a top 10 episode for me from the series, maybe top 5. Take away the dramatic ending, which was crazy and terrible at the same time, the scene with Theon giving the speech, Euron getting drowned, the red priestess… this episode has it all.

Once more, a man cried...
"Hodor"

Hodor's story is legendary tier of writing.
The Varys/Tyrion scene provides some hint of what's coming. The situation in Meereen is becoming untenable. The threat of a foreign invasion is becoming very real and meanwhile the city is a powder keg all on its own.
It was at this point, I wondered if we would see Hodor as a wight later. Guess we have to wait and see.
Buenas Tardes ,The Bust Reactions guys did a good job on chapter of Hodor after watching this tragic episode, you have to see it. and they made their own song dedicated
Yeah that was cool.
Took me 3 days to get over this. Shockingly sad ending for Hodor.
Brienne is the only one who knows Sansa lied about Littlefinger but Sansa then immediately sends her away. It's a good guess she has a reason for doing this.
BoB is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Literally the only thing that really excites me for Season 6)
The only thing ? Winds Of Winter is by far my favorite of the season. Way higher than BoB.
RIP Gentle Giant
One of my favorite characters. Amazing how he was able to hold such a presence without extensive dialogue. Powerful acting
@@LippsReacts girl yes!!!!!!! Even tho he only said “Hodor” u knew exactly what he was saying ❤️
I'm not even gonna lie, I had no idea I cared so much about Hodor until this episode. This s**t hurt. 😭
He was consistent and trustworthy. And that’s something we don’t get a lot of in this show
Damn, when she finally realized it she broke.

Bran Fucked around , but Hordor Found Out !! 🤬🤬🤬 Not all heroes wear Capes , So just Hold The Door!! 😭😭 RIP WILLIS 🙏
RIP WILLIS
This episode was about destiny and purpose. Hodors entire purpose in life was too hold the door.
Hodor 🐐
We just lost a real one. Hodor is a goddanged hero!
