DA Baracus Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 In the very first episode some White Walkers are kicking about what must be presumably quite near the Wall. What were they doing and why did they f**k off north again? I'd liked to have seen more of the North and Beyond The Wall. Anyway, what's Edmund Tully up to these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not the case that they could not cross the wall due to magic or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had been cutting about north of the Wall for close to 20 years, slowly adding troops. There slow building threat is why Mance seeks to become King Beyond the Wall and unite the Free Folk. The Ranger party in season 1 stumble upon a raid on a Free Folk settlement as the White Walkers add wights to the army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Read a lot of criticism of this episode from some. Just rewatched it and its actually a return to form. Its far more like the first 4 seasons than those that came after it. Bit more of something for the early fans. Watching peoples eyes and facial expressions as they have to communicate a lot of thinking in a short screen time and set up conflicts that have to boil around the two big set piece episodes to come. Its a series opening episode that has to gallop through a lot of reunions and some emotional resolutions, look at Arya and the Hound, so much has happened between them then too them in the period they were apart. You could have their semi reconciliation spread over a series or two. But they have to cram it in here. They kind of acknowledge their complex respect for each other and for some of us a huge amount of history of the characters in a short exchange. The actors for all the Stark children were really young when this all started. They are not turning in Emmy winning performances but they have all had some pretty serious changes to pull off in roles they won as children. I think Masie\Arya has done the best but they done a fair old job of trying to show changes way beyond what anyone could have cast them for. Maybe I am a fan boi but I can really live with this episode in what it has to achieve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After taking back Riverrun the Freys locked him up again.

Bairnardo Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Is there any indication from the books if its likely that the Night King intends to/will ever actually communicate with anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a Night King in the books. Or at least there hasn't been so far. A lot of the White Walker stuff has been seen for the first time on the show. In the book's there's a Night's King who's one of old Nan's mythical stories. He was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch that is meant to have fallen in love with a female White Walker. He then married her rebelled and turned the wall into his personal kingdom delcaring himself the Night's King and it took the King Beyond the Wall and the Starks fighting together to defeat him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Cersei's downfall will be because of her cruel nature and, as stated previously (I think it was Tywin or Tyrion), she's not as clever as she thinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 14 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Are they not meant to be linked to the Weirwood trees? I'm sure it's something like the First Men started chopping them down so the Night King was created to protect them, but ended up going too far. That might just be their purpose and not the source of their powers. I'm of course completely just firing this out as a random thought without any real substance to back it up though. I just have a funny feeling that Bran will have to be a martyr at some point. I mean why did the Night King only try and cross the wall now? The three eyed raven had been north of the wall until then, and as soon as they found out where he was the first time they went straight for him with the full army. Only when he fled south did they follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Didn't have a dragon before. And probably wanted to wait until he had a shit load more bodies for his army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Also, Bran is definitely one of the Night King's targets, and probably something to do with the crypt beneath Winterfell too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
