Quote:
On the other side, Meera repeatedly orders Hodor to "hold the door" shut against the wights while they flee. While Meera escapes carrying Bran, Hodor is presumably killed by the wights. In the vision, Bran becomes overwhelmed by the split consciousness and unintentionally wargs into the young Hodor (then named Wylis), forging a connection between the past and present, and causing him to suffer a seizure. With Bran's consciousness inside his head, Wylis hears the echoes of Meera's orders, and begins to slur the words "hold the door" over and over again until "Hodor" is all that he can say.
