Kind of dull the finale.
I hope Samwell will be alright.
The whitewalker was all like 'not even worth the effort to kill you'

Hell yeah. It's kind of funny to think back to the times she's threatened people this season, and no one really took it seriously (not even us, the viewers). And now it's like... oh yeah. No, when she says that shit, she absolutely means it. She will fucking destroy you.

I dunno, I think she's always had it in her since she had Dur burnt alive on Drogo's funeral pyre. Not to mention casually watching her brother having molten gold poured over his head, and didn't even flinch.
Crazy to think how far her character has come, from an innocent little girl who was bullied by her brother, and now she has pet dragons, a small band of warriors and soon her own fleet.
Dude, redemption is like, the most common story arc ever. And even still, I doubt Theon redeems himself at this point.
Fuck? He doesn't just stir shit up for fun, he stirs shit up to get results. Personal problem? He saved the city and the Lannister family, and as thanks he got shat on again.
Relax, man. Try not to get catched up in this kind of thing.
Yeah. They have different last names in different places. In the North, it's Snow. Don't remember any of the other ones.
So the guy who came to Winterfell to take out Theon and co would also have the last name Snow.
Exactly. The bastard's last name just identifies which region they are from.

Anyone notice the burned/busted up Iron throneroom when Dany was hallucinating in the creepy tower?
Possibly a telling of the future? She gets the iron throne by burning everything to the ground? I dunno.

I have decided to buy the books, there is a 4 book set for 20 bucks Canadian, not bad
Seems to be a thing with them- the guy in the premiere was able to escape as well.

Can someone please tell me the name of this song, it's driving me nuts that I can't find it.

It's not King of the North, even though it sounds similar. I can't find it on the soundtrack, I'm not sure it's there from what I've been searching.
edit: nevermind I found it, it's called "Winterfell" and it's track 6 for season 2.

You mean Benjen Stark, because that's who I think that White Walker is.

Looked that way to me too but there were a lot of things that felt a little too conspiracy theory for me to admit. I'm glad others are saying it first lol.
- I can see the Robb's marriage being huge in the coming seasons. Throughout this one, they kept mentioning how he already promised to marry one of the girls at the bridge. They even mention how serious such vows are when they mentioned Sansa and the new hot queen chick.
- Maybe they put a bag over Theon's head so that the North troops outside wouldn't recognize it was him? /shrug
- I get the feeling that the white walker on the horse was Benjin (?) Stark. I mean we haven't heard of his fate yet but they keep mentioning him. He's got to be something important in the North.
Ah, we think alike.

I feel like tyrion is far too smart and crafty to be kept without power and leverage for too long.

As far as we know white walkers are ancient creatures unrelated to humans. You don't turn into a white walker after being slain by one, but into a zombie (although oddly enough, those walking corpses are called "whites").
Wights.
I always got the idea that white walkers can turn corpses into their kind. They always said to burn the corpses. The Skull King dude was like "burn the body, you don't want this one coming back for you".

Ha!
Not white walkers, but "wights". Basically warrior slaves. Although the taking of human babies does seem very weird...

Oh ok. Ya, I guess that would have been a let down seeing it beforehand. I already guessed what was going to show up as soon as the first horn sounded though.

I actually saw the title of it before the episode but for some reason forgot about the meaning of the words. When I heard the three blasts during the episode, I had an Agent Kujan moment.
I really want to see that scene again. I love their reactions to each blast.

Alright, my 4 book boxset just arrived right now.
Well, I guess I can't be in this thread anymore and will have to go to the ugly bitchfest thread.

My 4 book boxset arrived shortly after the end of s1. It's somewhere buried under a year's worth of comic books.
That was a great scene. Can't believe I didn't see it coming. I mean, it should've been obvious after they explained what each number of blasts meant early in the season, that it'd come up again.
But I just assumed it was the wildling army coming. And then the third blast. Chills!

I still don't know who is blowing the horn.
I was questioning that myself but then I just accepted that it was the crows up on the knights watch hill or whatever that place is called (the one where they found the obsidian)

I'll actually read mine though because I don't have any other reading material at the moment, I've burned through everything else.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The impression I got was that it was some lookout.

Fist of the First Men, I think? But they heard the horn there too, when all of them were still together, so that's why I was wondering.
Ohhh yeah. Well then I am clueless on this one.

No one knows they're dead.
Quick read the books!
They were different horns. At Winterfell it was supposed to be the army that Bran sent out to take back another castle returning to siege Theon.
I thought we were discussing the horns past the wall in the North, not the north men at Winterfell. I originally said/thought that the people on the "Fist of the First Men" (?) were blowing the horn to alert Sam and co. but then Parrot reminded me that earlier this season when they were at the "Fist of the Fist Men" they heard the horns there too.
