"Game of Thrones" took us through an emotional and action-packed hour on Sunday that saw the fall of a much-loved character, and the setup of several showdowns to come.

For fans, the phrase "hold the door" will become permanently connected to the character Hodor (Kristian Nairn). After protecting and serving Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) since his escape from Winterfell, he gave his life to save Bran from the White Walker army. This battle may have gone to the White Walkers, but at least Bran will have another day.

Meanwhile, battles for power are being set up in the North, the Iron Islands, and in Slaver's Bay.

With those developments and the episode's sad ending, some details may have gone unnoticed.
