It looks like a girl might have a name after all.

The Greyjoy Kraken looks like a uterus. Asha/Yara confirmed queen?!?!?!

You hold that door...

I think the fact that they were waiting outside to barricade the door strongly implies this is what happened. Sorry, but some dry straw on the ground doesn't cause a fire to spread that quickly.

It pretty clearly showed whatever was burning in the torches spreading quite a bit as they are knocked over. I also think you underestimate the flammability of dry straw. Of which the building was largely composed. Smoke inhalation would have gotten them quite quickly in that enclosed space. Maybe even faster than they showed.

I have to say, I think this is the first character death that's truly affected me. Probably part of it is being a book reader and knowing the deaths were coming. But holy trout dude. I just.

Also, smurf you, Pontus. SMURF YOU.

EDIT: Also, it isn't just his death. It's that Bran's the one who made him the way he is (even though we all saw that coming) and if Bran had done what he was supposed to, Hodor a.) wouldn't have had his mind destroyed and b.) wouldn't have died.

So I guess smurf you too, Bran.

Hold the door

Considering Bran didn't seem to change the past and merely was a participant in events I can't blame him for what happened because it seems pretty clear he can't change anything that already happened, or possibly even have any control over his own future.

[Jinx]

Had he not been there when Meera was screaming, Hodor wouldn't have heard her. Don't forget that Bran was also warging Hodor at that time.

[Slothy]

But my point is it was destined to happen. If we assume something like a guiding hand of fate is involved then free will doesn't apply and he really couldn't have ever avoided this.

That's actually an interesting point given the conversation Varys had with Melisandre 2.0.

That said, I think the whole point of Bran's story is that you can change the past.

[Slothy]

Yet this event would indicate that the past and his future are already set. Wait and see I guess. Personally, I think his story may be less about changing the past and more being a participant in past events while also perhaps becoming privy to important information no one else could know otherwise.

[Jinx]

I guess I just want to believe. :P

[Slothy]

I don't think the game of thrones universe is kind enough to give Sean Bean back. We should be glad Jon isn't dead and that we might, if we're lucky, see people that aren't total trout running things by the end.
