re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Some foreshadowing of Bran's takeover of Hodor, and perhaps a little more:

quote:

---

Bran stared resentfully at the sweating boys below. “If I still had my legs, I could beat them all.” He remembered the last time he’d held a sword in his hand, when the king had come to Winterfell. It was only a wooden sword, yet he’d knocked Prince Tommen down half a hundred times. “Ser Rodrik should teach me to use a poleaxe. If I had a poleaxe with a big long haft, Hodor could be my legs. We could be a knight together.”
“I think that... unlikely,” Maester Luwin said. “Bran, when a man fights, his arms and legs and thoughts must be as one.”

Perhaps he'll send Hodor back across the Wall to be his body South of the Wall and with time perhaps speak through him.
