The writing pisses me off so bad god dammit lol

Men "Khaleesi. The dragons aren't eating properly"
Dany "They don't like the North. Let's expend their energy on a joy ride Jon"
**awkward ride to the tune of a whole new world from Aladdin**
Dany "Reconnaisance. That's the name of my wig spray"
Jon "Chip Butties!"
*land*
Jon [thinking] Is that the cave where Ygritte and I banged?.
Dany: "Weather jokes are so hot in my pretty mouth"
Jon"That was a corny line, about the keeping you warm. real Northerners freeze their tits off and ask for more but I'm not gonna say anything with your hand down my pants like that"
*smooching*
Jon [thinking] Deffs the cave where Ygritte and I banged. Ah, Ygritte. I wonder if Dany would shoot me a few times with some arrows...
*Dragons keel over in the background*



I'd tackle Urine Greyjoy but his Lord Flashert powers are for professionals only.

So, dorky and fascinating, huh?

No comment ;)

I just want to know how Bran was literally everywhere. Who was moving him around?

Also I am not sure if i can handle seeing a Hodor walker.

I have to assume that, as a member of the ruling family of the north, he might have influence enough to be successfull in simply asking anyone to move him.

Why did the White Walkers arreign the limbs the way they did? I can't remember having seen that symbol before, if it was one.

Also, and I really don't know why it only bothers me now: how do they stay on the dragons? For some reason, I have always assumed that there was that helped them staying on. for instance, some kind of saddle. or line. or that the riders at least would be able to hook their feet under the dragon's wings. As it seems now, there's nothing of that kind. Kind of ruins the neverending story for me, too, and Atreju riding on Fuchur. ;-)

^That's a lovely understated answer on Bran.

I'll add that Bran's not moving at all. Everything moves around Bran.

The Walker Art installation? That was some messed-up attention to detail there with what they did. The Walker spiral symbol has been seen a few times throughout the series, but remains cryptic as to what it represents to them. Are they having a perverse joke of sorts or simply their motivation is at odds with the living of Westeros?

In terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception) to the inner soul (enlightenment, unseen essence, nirvana, cosmic awareness). Movements between the inner (intuitive, intangible) world and the outer (matter, manifested) world are mapped by the spiraling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale.

Moreover, in terms of rebirth or growth, the spiral symbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. This is the way of all things, as recognized by most mystics...

Balance
Progress
Direction
Initiation
Centering
Expansion
Awareness
Connection
Journeying
Development

Interesting to consider the flow,

Some Celtic art scholars believe the direction of the spiral may be significant. Some say clockwise spirals are associated with the sun and harmony with the Earth, while counter-clockwise spirals are associated with manipulation of nature in the form of Pagan spells.

Celtic spirals are the symbols most often seen in ancient burial mounds and sacred places. Many believe spirals have mystical powers to prevent evil from entering into the sacred tomb of one who has passed into the Otherworld.

Some people even today, claim that if a person were left alone in a cave with spirals decorating the walls, he would experience altered consciousness, and possibly even experience hallucinations and seizures.

According to Kate Johnson at Arizona State University, an archaeologist conducted computer analysis in 1991 on the structure of some Celtic spirals found in ancient rock carvings. He compared these spiral patterns with astronomical events that had occurred over the course of the last millennium.

His findings were astounding. According to his research, the Celtic spirals were accurate representations of visible planetary configurations and the brightest fixed stars during total eclipses ages ago.

Thing with symbols is there has to be a shared understanding of the meaning for them to work as a means of communication. We might have some cultural echoes and competency, without going into speculative Jungian realms, yet if the show's creators go against that, or don't really understand the symbol's layers of meaning and use it "just because", then we just have a cool - looking symbol that means nothing or something to be revealed.

Might be that they are so small and light, compared to the gravitas of a dragon, that they cling much like burrs to the coat of a lion.

Hodor deserves to rest in peace. The idea of him as a Walker is a travesty, but then also really cool (I'm twisted like that). It won't be him, anyway, his soul is free of that dreadful journey with Bran.

I mean, Hold the Door was a pummelling in the guts. Now, eh.
