Remember a couple of seasons back the white walker touched the baby left out for them, turning his eyes frosty?

What's the story there, is that how new fully fledged walkers come about I wonder? Or just food?

it's not confirmed, but yeah, looks like White Walkers are made through the baby ritual, and they've left Craster alone cause he gives them to him.

I wonder in the future are we going to see a load of Craster lookalike White Walkers?

In which case .. white walker incest?

How did Craster and the White Walkers come to the arrangement with the babies?

It was Valyrian steel, stolen from King Robert's collection by Joffrey and given to the man he sent to kill Bran to "put him out of his misery" (i.e. trying to impress his "father").

Wait what?! o_0

Great episode.

This show has me so paranoid I was convinced that the young fella in the Nights Watch had slipped something into Sams food.

Nerves are shredded here :-)

Jamie doesn't know about Cersei and Lancel hooking up does he? Remember Tyrion threatening Lancel he would tell if he didn't spy on Cersei for him. If Jamie does get outa Dorne he gonna be piiiiised

Season 3 I think, possibly 4.

It hasn't.

Nor will it ever likely be mentioned in the show now that Joff is gone.

It seemed implied that it was Littlefinger that did it to set up Tyrion
That is what I always thought any way

Okay so the above posters were referencing the books?
Fairly lousy of them to do that in this thread

Apologies if I'm wrong but I was pretty certain that it was mentioned in a conversation between Tyrion and Cersei in the show? Around the time of the Battle of the Blackwater?

I've edited my original post in case but I'm sure I saw this referenced in the TV show.

Can see him attacking Tormund - he says he led the slaughter of his village

Possibly.

On thronecast, the trailer for EP 9 indicates the acting lord commander may not allow Jon & the wildlings through the tunnel anyway.

Do they need to go through the tunnel? Isn't Eastwatch on the southern side of the wall?

I think that conversation was where Cersei admitted to Tyrion that Joffrey was behind the murdering of Roberts bastards, not her.

Bran Stark was one of Roberts Bast*rds!!!!!!

Goddamit can the people who have read the books stop spoilering


is "spoilering" the right verb or should it just be stop spoiling?

dmcar02

What about Benjen Stark?

No mention of him since he went north.

Also, as Cersei is told, "The work continues", is the mountain making a comeback I wonder?

Mr E

IF YOU'VE READ THE BOOKS, DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD.

It's not a hard rule to understand, guys. Even if it was stuff that was skipped in the books (or done in the books but not in the show), it has NO PLACE IN THIS THREAD.

I have NOT read the books and my post was deleted so I can only assume that you have and by deleting my post have affirmed that what I said will happen.

Ta for the spoiler.

He hasnt confirmed anything by deleting your post. Your post said you cant wait for something to happen which suggests you know it will as oppose to it being a theory about what could or might happen. Only one potentially spoiling something in that case is you. Also you will find other posts were also removed not just yours.

I can't wait for XXX to happen

Is not the same as

I think XXX will happen

I don't know what you typed, and I don't care - but example 1 above comes across as if you read the books, if you didn't read the books, then don't post like you did.

And stop getting so upset about a post on the internet being deleted. Oh gosh.

Axwell

Then you can't say I can't wait for x to happen...how do you know it will? Unless you are a spoiler mc spoilerson reader..or a book reader. Surely you meant I am hoping X happens

Pertaining to the thing I was talking about, by now, we all know it's going to happen. I'm making a super sure prediction, as sure as [redacted] is a corrupt individual.

But yes, I concede that saying 'I cant wait' was, from an objective standpoint, a poor string of words.

I seem to remember that Jamie and Cersei had an argument of sorts upon his return (when he returned to Kings Landing minus one hand), where Cersei said something along the lines of having waited long enough (implying she'd found someone else), but I can't remember at all if Lancel (or even anyone in particular) was mentioned. Presumably Jamie knows she did "hook up" with someone else, and it's not like he'd be in a position to criticise someone for incest

Lemlin

Nobody has mentioned it here but am I the only person thinking that the White Walkers purposely let Jon Snow go because they've scared the fook out of him now?

Let him go back to The Wall and inform those across it of their impending doom. Should cause some widespread panic.

(while I don't think Jon will do that, it could well be their plan).
