  1. Even when he was alive I considered him one of the old gods. The relation between greenseers, weirwood.net and the old gods is a very, very strong point for the bootstrap paradox (and for Bran causing Hodor's trauma). As you can I see, I find the last episode to be very confusing and I believe both explanations on Hodor's trauma can be true (Bran or Brynden may have caused it).
  2. The problem is: Who will tell this to Bran now that Brynden is dead? ; /
  3. One strong point for the bootstrap paradox: Brynden had to be trying to teach Bran something by going to the past at that critical moment. I mean, the cave was under attack and they both were strolling through the past.I can think of two kind of lessons to be taught, one practical and other more philosophical. The practical is more obvious: "Look, Bran, you can change the past". What's the problema with this kind of lesson? Well, like Brynden said, "the past is already written, the ink is already dry". I think that's the problem with the bootstrap paradox: even if you can go back in time, you won't be able to change anything - in the best (or worst) case, your attempt to change the past will be the cause of the event that you were trying to change in the first place. And that's a strong point against the bootstrap theory: The power to change the past is useless. Now there's another thing that Brynden could be trying to teach Bran by showing him Hodor's past. What if Brynden foresaw the cave attack years before current events? What if he decided that Hodor would very important to Bran's mission and tried to show this to Wyllis (and thing went really bad, like we saw)? I know, this is a very long shot, but by showing Hodor's past, Brynden could be trying to explain how important Bran's mission is, and that sacrifices would be needed to fulfill that mission.
  4. Here's what I dont understand: Wasn't Bran already controlling Hodor when the attack started? The episode doesn't make it clear that this control was through Wyllis - we only see Wyllis being warged by the end of the episode. The boostrap paradox explanation is compealing, but either it is wrong, or the show failed to make it clear. Or did I miss something?
  5. Is it possible that Bran did not cause the Hodors trauma? Bran wasn't controlling Wyllis when hodor began to fighting (after his eyes became white). Wylli's eyes only turn white at the end of the episode. Only I find it strange?
