1. What Other Events Has He Influenced?

Tragically revealed in this episode, Bran was responsible for Wyllis only being able to say Hodor. Although this is an absolutely devastating sequence, it also has big implications for the rest of the series, as it introduces the idea of time-travel.

While this is a causal loop, meaning that Bran had already influenced the thing in question, rather than actively changing the past through his visions, it does leave open the possibility of Bran actually being able to affect and change history.

At the very least, it means that Bran could have influenced a number of other events throughout Westeros history: from the building of the Wall to Robert's Rebellion, there are already theories suggesting he was responsible. It's not clear how much we'll see, or what the actual rules surrounding his abilities will be, but I can't wait to get more answers (as long as they're not quite as brutal as this one).

What did you think of The Door? Any questions you were left with, or want to venture some answers? Let us know in the comments.
