Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Oh yeah, now I remember. Guess I had been more focused on the world thinking Theon had killed them.

It was always assumed that the Others would take the babies that Craster left, we just didn't see it because of the POV style of the books. |

In the books, Bran makes Sam promise not to tell Jon about him being alive and north of the wall, so it is another change to have Sam tell Jon on the show. Of course, on the show, Bran never tells Sam not to tell Jon.

Yeah, they're just trying to keep Bran involved and spiced up a bit. It's a bit boring for TV to watch him trudging north for a season and a half.

Yea, I wondered how they were going to do that storyline, because even in the books it is pretty long and drawn out.

Like I said a couple of times before, I have no problem with beefing up Bran's story. It needs it. I just thought what they did was really poorly executed. The entire expanse north of the wall and they end up camped a stone's throw from Craster's Keep? Too convenient. Ghost is captured and Jon has no idea? Uh huh. And as much as I like Burn Gorman, Karl Tanner is every moustache-twirling badguy I've ever seen at this point. It was all just groan-worthy. Hopefully it gets a little better as the season winds to a close.

So people are reading into the character at the end of the episode as some major person? I just figured that was the first time we saw a white walker, besides in the prologue of the series. The black armor kind of sealed that mention for me, because come to think of it we might have only witnessed wights up to this point in the show; except for as mentioned in the prologue.
