Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
No. This episode was probably the biggest departure from the books that I can remember.
Yep. By the end of the series only black women from the Summer Isles will remain.
I was waiting for Arthas to jump out at the end and start swinging Frostmourne around, seriously.
But yeah, literally no idea what Bran's story is going to be now. They're supposed to be just walking north with Coldhands and killing wights here and there or something. I'm guessing to keep the story intact later they'll have Jon Snow roll in, save the day, and they'll tearfully part again so Bran can resume his trip north.

While a very large departure from the books, I loved it. It was never specifically stated what was done to the babies Craster left for the others. Gilly I think mentions his brothers coming for him, in reference to her son and the attacking wights, while with Sam. I always thought it silly that they would accept a single sacrifice to make a wight so infrequently, when they could have easily killed Craster and all his wives, and turn them. Now I think that may have actually been The Great Other, the deity Melisandre mentions as the opposite to Rh'Lor(sp). Could just be some special kind of other too, I suppose.

That part was in the book. Dany had it done as revenge for the crucified slaves.
I don't think those other dudes at the end were wight walkers. No idea what they could be, but they seemed different to me.
That thing had horns that kind of looked like a crown. It's face wasn't as wrinkled and freeze-dried like the others we've seen. Since we know it turns babies into what we've seen so far, it's plausible that it's The Great Other.

Agreed. I loved seeing some behind the scenes stuff you can't see in the book povs.
Yeah, basically, at least in the Chinese translation. It gets a bit confusing, since the Chinese word for wight is wong.
Personally, I can't tell wight from wong.
"I want slow you down,sir" had me laughing.
Good Episode, looks like that was their White Walker King judging by his horns being in a crown shape.
I believe the distinction from earlier seasons was the White Walkers were a race, and they were able to reanimate the dead into wights

Weird episode. Too much filler. Loved the others stuff. Wasn't sure what was going on but as a book reader it was something we never saw but could only imagine.
