Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 9743020" data-attributes="member: 907">Game of Thrones spoilers:[SPOILER]One of the main characters in Game of Thrones is Bran Stark, who as a child in the first episode was pushed from a high tower leading to his legs being permanently useless. A simple-minded but very large and strong servant, Hodor, is assigned as his assistant, carrying him from place to place. Hodor has some sort of mental disability, and the only word he can say is "Hodor" so that's what everyone calls him rather than his given name, Wylls.It also turns out that Bran is a Warg, a person who can do various mind shenanigans. Untrained, this mostly leads to weird dreams as his mind is projected into various animals and he experiences things from their perspective. He gradually learns to use these abilities more actively even if he doesn't fully understand them. These abilities can also sometimes transcend time and space, so he can warg into someone distant and/or in the past and experience things as if he were there.At some point, Bran, Hodor, and some others are hiding in some underground tunnels as they are pursued by zombies. Hodor is trying to keep the zombies out by blocking the door to their hiding place, but he starts to falter. Bran then wargs into Hodor, forcing him to keep Holding the Door, and his untrained mental powers travel back in time to young Wylls, severely damaging his mind and making him unable to say anything other than "Hodor", which is short for "Hold the Door".[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
