You know nothing about crazy, Jon Snow.
By now most “Game of Thrones” fans have heard about “R + L = J,” a theory about Jon Snow’s true parentage. Many fans are also aware of various other theories, like how Tyrion may not really be a Lannister. These have been widely accepted, but they’re just a few of the many theories out there. Yeah, a lot of theories are easy to dismiss right away. But the craziest thing of all is that some of the wildest actually make a lot of sense.
Here are seven “Game of Thrones” theories that are so crazy they have to be true:
1. Robb Stark is alive
–
The theory:
Hold on to your Hodors. Hodor’s real name is actually Walder. In the books, Old Nan explains that “Hodor” is just what he says. But what if there’s actually more meaning to it?
Martin hasn’t really revealed how Hodor came to say “Hodor.” Fan forums claim that Hodor’s name was inspired by the Norse god Hod, and that the character has a connection to darkness and winter, perhaps being an agent for the Great Other who is the enemy of Melisandre’s Red God. Others even claim the word could have something to do with controlling dragons.
So what do you think about that, Hodor?
