There was finally ~fifteen minutes of exciting stuff in last night's episode of Game of Thrones! After one season and four episodes of epic yawniness. (I have honestly spent the last however long questioning why I'm still watching. I think mum's in it because the show got her into the books and she wants to see how it turns out, though).
I'm going to put my blah under a cut, though, because spoilers.
So time travel exists in Westeros??? Weirdly, earlier in the episode me and mum were taking the piss out of someone (I have totally forgotten who) saying that they had to own their choices because they couldn't go back and change things, and I said, "Well, if we know one thing that doesn't exist in Westeros, it's time travel."
Um.
Except Bran went and totally fucked things up in what I think is a stable time loop?
(Also nice way of working things out for it to work. I wonder if it is a reference to Days of Future Past, but I've had my head in X-Men continuity for about a week at this point, so I think I'm seeing references where they don't exist. Though I know why the Starks are so called, so possibly not???? Though obviously that's not an X-Men reference).
Also also, legit nearly started crying at the end of the episode and honestly GoT has never had that effect on me, but then again they've never killed off Hodor before. What did he do to deserve that, eh?
This is, apparently, how Hodor is going to die in The Winds of Winter anyway, since George Martin's always known about it, and apparently told the GoT's writers really early on. I say apparently 'cause I read it on the internet and, well, yeah. But, um, yeah, didn't see that coming.
I was reminded to write this because I was googling to see if there was a list of who had actually died in ASoIaF (as opposed to GoT). I don't even know who half the people are on this list, though I was interested to see that there are some people still alive on the show who are dead in the books (and vice versa, obviously). Still, it made an interesting read.

I am going to be cat-sitting again over the summer! I am more excited about this than you can possibly imagine. I am even slightly more excited about that than I am the convention I'm going to on Saturday.
(The comics dudes I went to hang out with last month have organised a con for my town, because we've never had one, and we apparently needed one??? If it goes well this year, they'll likely have one next year, which will be awesome).
