Is this how they appear in the books?

 

White walkers have only appeared in the novels twice. Once in the very prologue of the series, and the second time at the Fist of the First Men.

without being spoilerish... everyone on teh interwebs is saying they just finished books 5 in some plots... how will this affect the following season being that george hasn't published 6 ?

 

The show has quite a few differences now, so its not the biggest deal, but I'm confident that The Winds of Winter will go to press before April of 2016. Now, obviously he's not writing A Dream of Spring in under a year, so S7 will be years before B7, but we can worry about that next year.

so. everyone who found this season crap, and boring....      does the latest episode shut you up, finally?

Not really. A (supposedly) really good episode is not going to wash away the disappointment of past two seasons. I will wait until the whole season is over before attempting it again.

WOW! That episode was absolutely amazing, it has definitely made up for a mediocre season so far imo, hopefully the rest of the season's episodes will be of this quality.

 

Although I think we won't see much more, if any white walker/zombie action this season.

 

It was pretty obvious that wilding elder/girl was going to die though, shame as she was rather nice looking :D

Could anyone not predict the arena "save"? after the amount of screen time last week the time spent on Jon walking back to the castle seemed a complete waste. I hope next weeks focus is on Kings Landing primarily and Wintergarden.

The Jon story changes now that he's back at the Wall. The return from Hardhome wasn't supposed to be important.

 

Also - do you mean Winterfell or Highgarden?

I noticed Cercei and Daenerys stories display certain similarities: they're both submitted to pressure from ideological parties.

 

These ideological groups are a huge difference from the "magical" I've been fed with in the previous seasons. They've never played a huge role before and suddenly they're huge hidden forces remaining dormant all this time.

I agree the dragon save was pretty obvious.  About 15 seconds after the bad guys started circling them, I thought - I bet her dragon will swoop in and save the day.  I didnt expect her to fly off like a female version of Neverending Story.  I apologize for not knowing everyone's names,  but I think Kingslayer and the Doran girl will be an interesting subplot.  I just hope it doesnt go like: He nails her, the Doran leader guy sees this and gets mad and declares war - or something dumb like that.

Episode 8 was insane though.

Dorne would never go to war over sex.

Holy crap

 

Shireen's burning

 

was really hard to watch. The way she clings on to the wooden toy Davos gave her throughout the ordeal was heartbreaking.

 

As for Daznak's Pit, I've waited on that scene for years now, and they completely delivered imo. The way the cynicism washes away from Tyrion's face as he witnesses it, that tied in nicely with his conversation with Jorah from earlier in the season. To me, this was second only to the birth of the dragons in terms of Daenerys' scenes. What an iconic moment in the series.

No one stepped in because they've been conditioned by Melisandre and Stannis that the Lord of Light will save them, and this is what they need to do. And they made a point of showing how broken the camp was and such bad shape.

Davos would have stopped it but thats why Stannis sent him away.

 

In the novels I thought she was going to be used for a different purpose, so I wonder how this other situation will get resolved now.

I must have watched the dragon scene at least 15 times now..... :o It is just so damn epic when he first shows up and Tyrion's face too :D

 

I think she has realized their importance now, and is probably going to release the other two.

Hopefully! Having one dragon is amazing but having 3 dragons is even better :D

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.
