I certainly wouldn’t blame someone who hadn’t read the books for thinking that. The prologue was pretty confusing, and it could just as well have been wights that killed them as actual Others. All we saw of the Others was a shadowy figure…didn’t look like any “White” Walker to me.
Obviously, we have a difference of opinion.
Actually, that’s an opinion, too, not a fact. The value of any particular scene idea may be purely dependent on the parameters of that scene idea. I can apply my knowledge of stories and film in general, and, indeed, that’s exactly what people who state opinions about film do all the time.
A non-existent scene can’t be insulted. Both because it’s an inanimate object, and also because it doesn’t exist.
Again, that’s your opinion. I have no problem with that, but your increasing hostility is remarkable.
You know what? Having read all four books, and also KNOWING what comes next, I have absolutely no problem with the TV show cutting down on the wolves. They’re not all that important, . . .
sigh minor spoiler:
except for one.
They’re being used for the purpose intended, to display the personalities of the Stark children, and that they are being downplayed in the show is merely an effect of HBO not wanting to film 50 episodes.
It’s opinion. Get over it.
And I won’t post any further wolf discussion here, but will use the open spoiler thread should I have anything else to say.
Agreed. And many of you book-readers have expressed interest in what those of who are not book-readers think about the story as it unfolds. So it’s nice for everyone to keep the book-reader and non book-reader threads separate and distinct, with as few intermingled spoilers as possible.
I don’t think the fact that we didn’t see them well has much bearing…I knew which creatures he was talking about, when the White Walkers were mentioned.
I’m sorry but this is pretty silly, we were shown a dead human coming back to life and a monster. Clearing up something that already happened is not a spoiler even if you did not get it when you saw it.
Rewatching, I noticed that one of the women in the crowd at the Dothraki wedding was amazingly well endowed. I’m now hoping that we spend a lot of time learning about that noble race of nomadic horsemen.
