He held it till his dying breath: How Twitter grieved for this 'Game of Thrones' hero

The fifth episode of Game of Thrones season 6 is out and it was action-packed, the ending was not what we had hoped we would get to see. Ever.

[Spoilers ahead>

As Hodor, the ‘gentle giant’ who has helped Bran over the last few seasons and perhaps the only ‘family’ Bran thought he was left with, is now gone.

#HoldTheDoor hashtag went viral as grieving fans took to social media to describe their pain and angst. And we share in that sorrow. RIP Hodor.
