Somebody who read these book things semi-spoilered (I didn't mind) what the deal was with the extra creepy zombie in the last shot.
Spoiler:
Which, I thought was cool and made me appreciate that last scary ass motherfucker even more. And you can kind of piece that together yourself just because he's so fucked up looking.
UGH. Loved that season.
Your spoiler is what I figured and I haven't read the book.
There are zombies and than there are white walkers. The white walkers can create the zombies. (Or whatever they will call them on this show.) They've said that the white walkers existed before man. Kind of like the Balrog for LOTR. (They may not be able to live in warm climate.) There was probably an ice age when they ruled. When the climate changed they were pushed back. Man built a wall to keep them out. Now that both winter is coming, and magic has strengthened, they are coming back for what is theirs.
Ugh it is going to take forever for the next season to start.

Holy shit, you independently hit on one of the most pervasive theories in ASOIAF. It's also one of the most soundly disproved theories, though.Originally Posted by Americas Team
Jaquen was a part of the prisoners that Yoren picked up in KL. Ned was the one who gave Yoren first choice of the dungeons, which means the timelines don't match up. When Jaquen was picked up from the dungeons Syrio was still acting as Arya's dancing master.

Are you using book learnings in this thread? This smells like a post of a reader.

Yes, but it's coupled with my TV smarts here. If you were as good at watching TV as me you'd have noticed the discrepancy.
Acting like you're all up in this TV shit.

No buts... Take it to the reading thread before you mention some long standing theory that was disproved by a bunch of nerds in reading glasses. This ain't Henry Porter and the Price of Asskabar.

Henry can only afford 9 of the 10 Whorecruxes. /spoiler

Just re-watched season finale on HBOGO.com w/ interactive features "on" and loved it even more (maps are helpful, as is the spelling of the names). So many touching moments with the Maester of Winterfell, Theon cursing the horn blower, the faceless man, The Jaime & Brienne Show, the fire witch & Stannis, Robb's wedding, Jon sword fighting in the snow, Daenys' dream reunion w/ Conan. Cried at Tyrion and Shae discussing leaving King's Landing, and laughed heartily at Tywin Lannister's horse shitting on the stone floor before entering the throne room. Also, poor Sansa - getting her first visit from Aunt Flo, and now this…

brb...
Maybe I'm a dumby (wait, that's the premise of this whole thread...), but I 80% assumed Stannis was dead or captured (aka soon to be dead) after the last episode. The other 20% was, "Maybe that guy who grabbed him was one of his men dragging him to safety." Was that just me, or was his fate ambiguous in the last ep?
I assumed the same thing about Stannis. I was surprised to see that he was just hanging out in his castle with his fire woman. They don't clearly show what happened to him during the battle but it seems like it would be hard to get off that wall without being captured.
I want to give an Emmy to Sophie Turner, Sansa, for the smile she made when she finds out Jiff-o-ree isn't marrying her.
"Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory."
Were you guys not paying attention to how badass Stannis was up there on that wall chopping soldiers' heads in half? He can get through anything.
I thought it was pretty clear his men were dragging him back to escape.
I thought it was even odds for Stannis after his bro pulled him back. But I did think his escape would be a pretty interesting thing, and I thought the way he went straight from the thick of it on top of the wall to all the way the fuck back with Melisandra a little weird. It took 4 out of 10 episodes for him to get away from that room and overnight he manages to get back. I mean, I liked that staring-into-the-fire scene, but I felt like it might have been just as effective to hold off on it for another season.
I got so excited when Maester Luwin was trying to convince Theon to take The Black. Great idea, Maester; let's do this!
Then this BS happens:
NSFWSpoiler:
I thought the Maester was going to get stabbed so many times, and this poke from Finchy came as a real shocker. I declare to the Gods, old and the new, this show, must be good: it makes me angry!
"Stannis Baratheon" is the best fictional character name I've encountered in a long time. Not only does it perfectly fit the character, it's got a hypnotic musicality. I'll be going about my day and all of a sudden I'll just starting thinking "Stannis Baratheon...Stannis Baratheon..."
"Lannister" is the best house name, but none of the Lannisters have a first name that can stand up to it. They all sort of wilt before it's majesty. "Jamie?" Get the fuck out of here.
