By the way, is it just me, or does the white walker king look exactly like Joffrey in ww make-up?

Coucho Marx posted:edit: also i knew vasquez would die Speaking of foreshadowing (as has been mentioned previously), it does seem very telegraphed that the conversation between Sam and Farmer Orphan Boy is going to backfire horribly. The child actor just put too much, "Well... if you say so... in that case... I guess I'll have to [something really impulsive and tragic]" on his face. It wasn't subtle. This episode was 100% fantastic and I haven't had any complaints until now, either. I like the new storylines, I loved that Theon spilled the beans to Sansa that Bran and Rickon escaped, Tyrion saving Jorah's life (sorta) and then taking no poo poo from Queen Stupid, Cersei continuing to try to be all haughty with her plain shift and dehydration and face-ladle collisions, everything with Arya (yeah, when The Man gave her The Gift her grin was perfect), Tormund not letting the Lord O Bones get the word "dick/cock" out of his mouth before beating him down with his own loving staff, and then everything that came after... just a great, great episode. Not sure what Jorah is up to, now. Then the madness that ensued after was just too much to take in all at once, and it wasn't even all shaky-cam or anything. Just... huge in scope. White Walker King has a personality... an attitude. He's proud enough to show off. Wun Wun can just walk to the boats. Yeah, just a great ep. I think I'm gonna watch last week's and then watch this one again. Also, quote:Jon Snuh: Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?

I really hope Ramsey fucks up Stannis, or at least gives it a good go. What I like about Game of Thrones is that the truth of the world is the Shitlord cunts are often really good at beating other people, or at swinging a sword. You can be as heroic or bold as you like but when you get such a huge loving boner as Ramsey does for killing other people you become very good indeed at it. That said Jorah is my dream hero man :edit: Also white walker dude at the end

One thing I nearly missed was the line 'A Feast For Crows' from Ramsay. He sure is tired of all these Star Wars.

ErIog posted:I do hope they eventually give some kind of background on the White Walkers. They have so little explained motivation that they appear to only function at the whims of the writer. Every other character in the show has such well-developed motives that they really stick out in their simple zombie-ness. Cue an introductory scene to the internal politics of White Walkerdom. Boss Walker asks whether the other Walkers will side with him on his quest to kill the living. Every other walker starts a "WHEN I WAS BUT A CHILD," speech Then they throw an ice spear at a wight because why not. Two eps later the writers realize that scene went kind of poorly with the audience so cue an ice titty

Can't the night's watch just let some dragon glass powder blow in the wind to the other side and kill all the ice dudes when it gets in their eyes? They seem to explode like a spinal tap drummer when it touches them.

Bulkiest Toaster posted:I want to see how these white walker guys plan on getting over that giant wall. That's probably next season though... Well, some wildlings were capable of climbing the wall. I'm sure the wights could too, and they have the added bonus of probably being able to try again if they fall off. Jesto posted:I hope Greyworm and Misande become gargoyles too. Their love story is equally as bad as Sam and Gilly's. I think you'll find that both Grey Worm and Missandei are 1. cool 2. cute I don't get why everyone's hating on them hooking up. It's a bit groanworthy, sure, but there's nothing particularly bad about their plot arc outside of how much time has been dedicated to pondering what GW's junk is like. Besides, now that noted sexhaver Tyrion Lannister is around, the writers would be wasting a golden opportunity if they didn't add an scene where he awkwardly attempts to earn GW's favor by giving him tips on how to gently caress without a dick. "I mean, that's how Varys would do it. I think."

Eh I'm done with Ramsay, dude is a full on cartoon character and has passed the point of love to hate to just being tedious. Also I really wouldn't buy him being some sort of super soldier on top of everything else. Dude sat up north picking wings off flies, he was probably never in a real battle. But he will probably kill Brienne in a one on one fight then spin kick Davos into a campfire then dress up as him and convince Stannis to burn Shireen then trick Melisandre to aim her voodoo at his dad's pregnant wife.

How many White Walkers did we see in that frost citadel scene last season where they iced the baby? I want to say it was thirteen or so, and I'm inclined to think that that could be all of them. People talk about them like they're a whole race beyond the Wall, but given how few of them we see it's seeming more and more likely that they really are only a handful of really powerful magic dudes. Which means that the two that Sam and Jon have killed are a really big deal, in principle. And also that killing them isn't really the problem, it's killing thousands of wights that is the hard part.

They've been taking wildling male babies from Craster for years and years, and he had a ton of "wives". I would believe that they've been doing stuff like that for a long time, and have more than a dozen white walkers around.

I just hope we find out what their deal is. I don't know if they can talk but hopefully they kidnap someone and do a 10 minute exposition dump about their history and poo poo.

I feel like there are a bunch of white walkers just from the fact that we see one appear relatively close to the wall in season 1. Like its just an assumption on my part but if there were only thirteen I don't think they would be venturing out that far unless they had their army around.

I'd guess there are at most a couple of hundred. The thing is, no one has any idea, there is WAY more in the show about the White Walkers than in the books.

I would imagine there's a bunch of Crastor's kids waiting in the wings. I highly doubt any of the 13 were his kids fully grown, and we also know the blue eyed ones are different from the spooky skeletons. Question is why would they bother with Craster's kids if they could simply have killed Craster and his wives and turned them? Clearly something about their inability to reproduce must play into that
