No one answered how come they haven't slaughtered Mance's army. I think it's because they're highly intelligent and satient. They do things with purpose. So the people they slaughtered (night's watch) must've deserved it.

Being a white walker doesn't seem so bad. I'm sure it has it's perks. You get to be around children and animals. They support artistic endeavors. All the snow you can eat.

Health plan seems to suck tho. Thanks obama.

also didn't look like they were turning them into SLAVES. looked like that's just how they reproduce

Yeah I bet they're really pissed about being left out of Incestmcrapewarmurderville down south.

Haven't seen a walker with a rack like margaery tyrell's tho

Does Kingslayer love Brienne? Kind of got that vibe as she was leaving

Isn't that what we saw at the beginning of the series? Like in season 1 a White Walker kills somebody and that person comes back as a zombie to attack the Night's Watch or something. Not talking about turning the babies into White Walkers because that's a whole other ballgame.
Maybe they just haven't found them yet. IIRC maps of Westeros suggest that "North of The Wall" is a pretty big place. I'm also led to believe the resurgence in White Walkers is pretty recent, as per the guy who fled the Night's Watch at the beginning of the series to warn everybody and got killed by Ned because following the rules is more important than doing the right thing.

I thought it was kind of funny that the shock ending was that the white walker king turns the babies into little walkers. I mean, only everyone on earth assumed that.

I thought he was going AWOL from the Night's Watch because he was scared of the White Walkers, not trying to warn everyone?

I remembered him saying something like "I know my life is forfeit, but..." so I looked it up. This is the third paragraph of the HBO website's recap of that scene:

So, I'd agree he ran because he was scared, since he would have just gone back to the Wall otherwise, but he also made a really important point that he actually saw a White Walker, and even ol' Winter-Is-Coming painty-can Ned didn't believe him. (At the start of this series, it was believed magic and magical beings didn't exist anymore, until Dany's dragons were born. The Wall was just a place criminals, misfits, and ****offs were sent to deal with the occasional Wildling raid.)

It's certainly not clear that they aren't just evil, but I don't think you really get the world if you just say anything is obviously "evil". Especially with some snarky comment.

Yeah I didn't really get why that was filmed like some ZOMG moment.

Very minor book content that is in no way a spoiler, and actually pretty lol for TV viewers, but spoiling just in case:

haha thats great

lol book readers

Oh, I think a little snark is fair when someone says he's actually rooting for them. I mean, what exactly do we know about the White Walkers, and what have we seen them doing? I mean, objectively? I don't think we've gotten much of a sense of their rich internal lives, either. It's an interesting perspective insofar that you can make an argument for it if you think the humans in Westeros really, really suck, but that would be kind of a snarky position, too. I mean, just the fact that "pure evil" is still in play suggests a deliberately one-dimensional portrait.

I mean, perhaps in some grander cosmic sense there is no objective evil, but from the perspective of a human anywhere in that universe, I don't think there's much moral ambiguity about it. I mean, the humans built a giant magical wall to keep themselves safe from them. As long as this story is told from the humans' perspective, the White Walkers seem to be about as "evil", or at least destructive, as can be.

I mean, I'm not trying to be an ass about this or anything. I just thought "Go White Walkers!" was a funny position to take.

i mean it is

It really is

Also, forgot to mention. I caught some of John Oliver's show and lol'ed quite a bit. A once a week 30 min news show is kind of a weird concept though.

Sure it's a funny position, but do we objectively know they are trying to end the human race?

Good:
Littlefinger
Jamie/Tyrion and Jamie/Brienne
Marg/Olenna and Marg/Tommen

Sucked:
Dany, I mean GOOD GOD if you're gonna devote a quarter of your series to someone at least have something happen once in awhile
Bran - I am so sick of him
The lack of Arya/Hound was disappointing, could say the same about Tywin. But meh
And lastly, holy ****, I will never rewatch that episode even though I thought it was good. The reason: cannot stand the baby crying sound. Absolutely awful. Two things that I do not tolerate in TV/movies: Alarm clocks and babies crying. Absolutely the worst.
