That wouldn't explain why they ran in the opposite direction, still.
I think maybe they didn't want to lead the Night King to East Watch.

The wights still behaved like they did in Hardhome, they fell mindlessly into the icy lake.
As far as wights are concerned it's consistent.
The bear attack was odd though, Hound aside the rest waited far too long to kill it.

But it's not like they knew running in that area would cause the ice to break and give them shelter on an island. They just got lucky that happened. It could have just as easily been a dead end.

Season 7 needed Miguel Sapochnik. :[

Aren't essentially saying that they wouldn't be able to outrun them, though?
Exactly. They didn't know they were heading towards a lake. No lake and they get caught either way if the zombies are that fast. So why run the opposite way from the wall?

yea, unfortunately the idea of the zombie bear fight was better than the execution of it.
Season 8 needs Sapochnik

Ah. That would explain it. It's still canon tho right?
Yeah, vans are parked right by the Shivering Sea.
I better see his damn name when they reveal the directors list.

It is from promotional material. HBO releases press photos the week of.

The real question is why didn't they bring horses if they knew they were gonna be carrying cargo? Is it too cold for them? Is Benjen's horse a special ice horse?

You know what. I agree...To some extent.
He himself said that he does what DnD want and he has to get their approval if he wants to add stuff and apparently it's quite hard for them to agree to anything.
Yeah, he directed a few of the best episodes not only in the show, but in TV.
But he also direct The Gift, which is pretty mediocre. It's the bad pussy episode.
He did an amazing job with what he had, but what if all of this falls on DnD? He might not have been able to make much of a difference, if at all.
Edit: You know what, I'm wrong in thinking that because a true fan and passionate director would have done what it takes to make it right...and I think he would have.

Image is from the making of video - not the actual episode
It never appeared to be undead.

the zombies in this show eat the people?
Yeah I'm totally wrong on that.

Yeah, you're right.
For some reason I remember that line being said while they were still in prison. either way, The Gift isn't that good an episode.

Like, what exactly was their plan? They completely lucked out in finding a lone white walker squad that just happened to also have one wight that wasn't under that WW's thrall. Shouldn't they go in assuming they'll be going up against a large horde? What happens when they get the wight in the middle of combat? They should have brought horses for a quick extraction.
You want to tell 10 Dothraki dudes they need to give up their horses because Snow King wants to go boogeyman hunting in the far north?

Dany would tell them because she loves Jon and wants him to live. They gotta listen to their Kelly C.

fun fact though, the zombies in this show are technically more accurate to the original zombie than most other zombie fictions, which depict as either dead or infected people that lost their minds and eat and attack other people.
iirc, zombies were originally dead people brought back to life to do their masters' bidding, which is exactly what the zombies in this show are.
You wanna make the Khaleesi mad by inconveniencing her boo?
Shit I forgot the Blood Rider thing. So why didn't they take horses? I'm pretty sure horses can outrun a bear.

I don't want to be the one doing it, but if Khaleesi asked...
Plus I'm pretty sure they took the remaining horses from the Lannister side of the Loot Train attack. They had a few extra. I wonder if that's what the dragons have been eating.

Jorah is single handedly responsible for so many idiots thinking Dany's name is Khaleesi. They are naming their daughters with a title haha.

I figured out what SuperStiltzkin meant by Kelly C from reading the youtube comments. I was confused as hell before

Love this image. Artist said he's gonna do a Queen card for Dany/Cersei as well.
As someone who never grew up on Star Wars, and didn't really get into Harry Potter, GoT is the first big media-thing I love, and now I want to buy themed things of its kind
Deck of cards, a chess set, video games... Patiently waiting for a video game, and I wonder if there are any online shops where I can buy cards/chess sets
I think he might have gotten a call in July...

Loving The Queens Justice from the soundtrack right now. Amazing rendition of Rains of Castamere.
Still though, this years soundtrack is relatively weak in terms of new shit.

I was reading about the making of Winds of Winter, and apparently that amazing opening piano piece was something Sapochnik was directly responsible for. When editing the initial cut of episode, he picked this temp music piano piece he really liked and keyed the sequence to it, and submitted the cut to D&D expecting them to change it completely but he strongly suggested that the tone it set was just right. Instead of re-editing the scene, they got Ramin to do a piece that would match the tone and tempo the temp score set. Sapochnik was very happy.
