TV Series: Warning - Spoilers Inside

[Toga]

Rickon and Osha just go off to the East I think so that the boys are seperate and safer.

I kinda agree, not sure where Bran's story is going at the moment but I am sure it will all get tied together again shortly. ;)

[Noz]

Finally got up to date with Game of thrones.

Last episode was so good.

Shame that Khaleesi decided to no longer do any more nudity though  :(

I have a few questions.

At the end of season 2 when Sam saw the horde of White Walkers for the first time why didn't they kill him?

Also why has it taken so long for them to reach Castle Black?

I haven't seen what happens in the books, but I am 99% sure that they will meet the Children of the Forest or something. There's no way that stuff would be mentioned and not appear anywhere, and Bran's storyline seems like the most appropriate one for it to fit into.

Also why has it taken so long for them to reach Castle Black?

I remember there was a reason for the White Walkers not killing him, something to do with wanting everyone to know they're back, and fear them. Don't quote me on that though. Remember at the very start of the series they let that one guy survive, and kill the other two.

Are you referring to Bran and co with Castle Black? I guess they travel a lot slower, and less, with Hodor carrying Bran? Would've been even worse when Rickon was with them I'd imagine. Not sure though, have they always been intending to go there? I thought they had other plans originally. Been a while since I watched the earlier episodes though, so you'd have a fresher memory than me regarding that.

Oh yeah i do recall that at the start of the series with the White Walkers.

I was actually talking why the White Walkers were taking them so long to reach Castle Black. They were ahead of both John and Sam but both of them still managed to reach the Castle Black before them.

John even had time to climb the wall and reach Castle Black which we were told would take about a week. Sam also managed to reach Castle Black before John but the White Walkers are no where to be seen.

Bran saw visions when he touched the tree and now knows exactly where to go so unsure if he still intends to go past the Wall.

[GoLions]

Perhaps they're still building their army? Good point though.

Well that wildling guy or whatever was feeding all his sons to them, so maybe they're building up strength? Whatever they're doing, shower's gonna be crazy when they do attack :P

[Master Q]

Don't recall when they let that guy live, but the Walkers didn't actually see Sam. The camera angles confused a lot of people, but they never saw him.

Also, Bran is travelling by foot. You have to consider that a lot of other characters have been travelling by horse back (The Hound, Jamie when he was captured), and they still spend quite a bit of time travelling.

I swear that White Walker saw him the one Sam killed later.

Was pretty much the first scene of the series.

3 Night Watch's Knights walked past the wall and came across a village that was destroyed by White Walkers they killed 2 of the Knights and let one escape. He then fled back to tell Ned Stark but instead Stark decided to cut his head off.

Not sure that they let the first guy get away, he just got lucky while his mates got killed. I am yet to get a sense that the WW are much more than a wave of near unstoppable mindless killers.

Now it has been a while since I read book1, but am fairly certain Sam never comes that close until he kills the WW while trying to get to castle black. Reckon they just used a bit of creative license to insert the WW in at the end of the series to make a dramatic ending.

And Spoiler alert...

FTR they havent got to Castle black in the books yet either - which is why I suggest creative writing

The storyline for Bran is pretty dull I agree, but I guess that is the issue when yo split so many characters into separate quests that trying to follow and make them creative is hard. In the books there is a little more of Bran and the whole wharg thing that I think they will just gloss over like last night.

That was a long time ago friend  :P But I remember now  ;)

Ok so it turns out, when the camera shows the leader's face, and alternates back and forth with Sam's face, they're not actually looking at each other. After the leader screams, and the camera zooms out, you see that his horse isn't even up to the rock Sam is hiding behind yet. Good spot Q

And skip to like 6 mins into this video, they definitely let the dude live

Also, how has no-one else voted for the Tyrells? They're flowering awesome.

Yeah I thought so.

They discussed it on reddit once, so that's how I know.

[Boomz]

Meh given up on GoT. Don't get it still.

Just finished season 1 of orphan black and can't wait for season 2. Great show & great acting.

[Toga]

In the books one WW catches up with Sam (not the whole horde) and he kills it on his way back to Castle Black (not South of the wall like happens in the TV series). So yeah as SR said I think it's more just creativeness there. ;)
