Yeah, if it weren't for those two, I would give Lena's more flak. But as it is, I don't even notice because Dany's stands out soooo much more..

Look it's either dragons or decent wigs not both!
Similarly, Cersei will always be taking E for the first time to a brilliant soundtrack

Yes, absolutely.
It looks so bad. You can tell just by her face that she's not blonde.

I think she was 16 or 17 when she filmed that. Go watch The Jungle Book; she was around 19 or 20 and she was gorgeous. Much more than in that picture.
It was the fist of the first men they were marching to and the nights watch defeated them offscreen. I'm not sure if there was meant to be that many of them.
I think you mean the end of Season 2.
They were promptly killed at the start of Season 3 with a black screen and sound effects (because budget).
Yes and one of the remainders attacks Sam, who is then set on fire by Commander Mormont, who then asks Sam if he sent the ravens.
Yeah, I got that but I didn't know that was one of the remaining few.
When (what episode) did Sam kill that 'boss' white walker then? The one that was after him and his girlfriend.
That 'boss" White Walker is not the only one, there are loads that look like that, and that was episode 8 of Season 3.
I can't believe people missed that that army was killed, why do you think the Night's Watch are so bloody when they find Sam at the start of Season 3? What did you think that black screen with battle sound effects was at the start of the episode?
This is why Commander Mormont says something like "we have to warn them" (i.e. go back to the Wall and let everyone know about the impending White Walker invasion).
There needs to be a special where the GOT actors return to some of their original roles as their GOT characters.
Jaime Lannister in Black Hawk Down
Cersei in Dredd
Joffrey in Batman Begins
Thoros in Dennis Pennis
Tyrion in X-men Days of future Past
Tywin in Ali G Indahouse
Shae in ... well, I'm at work so I can't google those movies
the list can go on!

So you say they killed them, but also that they must be warned against a white walker invasion? What is it then?
There will obviously be more coming.
Ah! I was under the impression from your comment that every WW was killed. Glad they aren't dead dead.

I'm still waiting on a version with Tyrion, Jaime and Cersei.

I thought there was a skirmish and they managed to get away. You hear Mormont shouting "fall back" at one point. Probably they killed some or most of the zombies with fire but I'd be surprised if they managed to kill any of the White Walkers.
Sorry for harking about this question. But at the start of the series the White Walkers was shown to be extremely dangerous, killing 5 people without any effort. And in the end of S02 there was a full army of them, and now we are led to belive that that army was stopped by 100 men (maybe even less) without much training?

The army was mostly zombies which we'd seen can be relatively easily killed by fire, as long as you know what to do. The White Walkers, the icy guys with the giant swords, from what we've seen can only be killed with the spears they found at the Fist of the First Men. So I guess the night's watch men managed to kill enough zombies with fire to be able to get away.
The zombies are referred to as "Wights" onscreen, leading to the confusion of many as to what the difference was.

Did they ever say that they defeated / killed the walkers? Given how few Night's Watch there are (compared to how many zombies), and how little experience they have fighting them (didn't they say in season 1 how Jon was the first to kill one in a thousand years or something), I would have thought they tried to fight but got their ass beat, they fell back and had to regroup / warn the others.
I've never seen it but the synopsis on wikipedia is intriguing, is it a good show?
So we can assume that they killed most of the zombies, but that the White walkers (there are atleast a couple of them) ran away? Stils seems like a weak cop out, since they (WW) where described to destroy mankind by the people on the show.
Yes, and the black eyebrows make it worse. Terrible casting choice.
It's not bad. It was/is on Netflix Instant in the US, so it's worth checking out if it's still up.

Ripper Street is not bad..it kinda takes the first season(bbc short btw) to find its proper flow and pacing and to flesh out the primary characters

Wights- reanimated corpses that form the white walkers army. Referred to as "blue eyed corpses" several times on the show.
White Walkers- Intelligent species that have the white bark looking skin. One sees Sam at the end of season 2 and ignores him, Sam kills one in 308

My impression was that the rangers were able to do enough damage to slow them down so they could make their retreat. You hear Mormont shout "fall back" so I guess they didn't really win the battle. To be honest I don't really know what's stopping the White Walkers (even without their undead army) just killing everyone in their path, given the rangers didn't know about the spears at that point.
White Walkers are the big icy guys with beards. They undead people they re-animate, I've been calling zombies, but apparently they're called "Wights". Jon Snow killed one with fire in an early episode. Sam killed a White Walker with the dragon glass last season.
Pretty sure you got that backwards. The Night's Watch was almost completely wiped out and the army of white walkers/wights moved on. A straggler attacked Sam and the few survivors of the Watch save him. Later, when wildlings arrive at the fist they see what happened to the bulk of the Night's Watch at the Fist:
There's definitely still a bunch of White Walkers out there.

Yeah I'm really not sure why people are saying that the Rangers defeated that whole army, it seemed to me that they just barely survived and got away before they met up with Sam

jorah and bronn in Ripper Street.
Seems to me this version of Jorah never even sniffed the friendzone. Ripper Street looks pretty interesting, I'll add it to me queue for a rainy day.
I don't think they "significantly reduced" the army that seemingly everyone will be obliterated by when it finally comes. Maybe they took out the equivalent of a few squads.
