The show is so far gone from the books right now there will still be plenty of good reading. As for the 'hold the door' stuff: On April 20, 2014, ASOIAF fan Michael A. Ventrella wrote a blog post saying he kept running into author George RR Martin in the elevator at a convention. And then, well: The final time we ended up together, the conversation went like this: Me: I finally figured out why you have a character named “Hodor.” Martin: Oh? Me: I was thinking about your comment about wanting to be an elevator operator. It’s clear to me now that “Hodor” is short for “Hold the door.” Martin: (laughing) You don’t know how close to the truth you are! |
