Bad news for fans of giants with limited vocabulary today: it seems that Hodor will NOT be part of Season 5 of Game of Thrones. HODOR! Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm
Actor (and DJ!) Kristian Nairn, who play Hodor on the show, mentioned in a recent interview that he’d have some extra time to devote to his DJ-ing this year, as he’s on a season’s hiatus from Game of Thrones. Why? Well, the plot of the show has caught up to the plot of the books, as far as Hodor’s character is concerned.
From the sound of things, Hodor, Meera, and Bran Stark will all be missing from the next season. But, when asked for comment, HBO didn’t have much to say on the matter: http://goo.gl/ZeJgPz
Now, it’s a long time before next March, when Season 5 will likely premiere, so we’re definitely playing the wild speculation game here. But… here’s some of our wild speculation!
What do you think of the news of Hodor (or any other character for that matter) taking a break from the show in the coming season? Do you think Christina’s theory has any merit? As the show rapidly catches up to the books, do you see HBO having to use other such delaying strategies to keep things running along?
