    But it wasn't Sansa. (I didn't think the Jaime/Cersei "rape" scene was really bad, btw.)

    It was horrible and hard to watch but I'm glad it wasn't any more visually graphic.

    Which of the night's watch guys was Mormont's father? I can't remember.

    True. My wife was freaked out and I told her what happened to fake Arya in the books and she was really freaked out. Now that they are veering away from the books I keep waiting for awful stuff to happen -- liked it better when I knew what was coming and was ready for it!

    Lord Commander Mormont of the Night's Watch.

    I don't even remember him dying.

    This is why I gave up on the idea of reading the books. My tiny little brain can't keep up with all this shit.

    They were at Crastor's Keep (spelling?) on their way back from their ranging out beyond the wall and those sleazebags revolted and killed a bunch of the knight's watch and started terrorizing the poor women that lived there and were all Crastor's daughters? Sick shit -- no wonder they didnt want to go with the men when they were finally rescued by Jon Snow and group. (Of course staying north of the wall means they will be walkers.)

    I wouldn't say they have jumped the shark just yet, but the show's creators have The Fonz loading his Water Skis in the back of the jeep and are actively planning the trip to the beach to take on the California Kid.

    The Jamie Lannister story arc (a major change from the book) has been a pure disaster, as is the lack of character development in the kingdom of Dorne.

    Unlike previous kingdoms where the show has slowly wandered into and developed, they basically put the entire Book 5 and 6 into a paper shredder and then tried to make out of Dorne by what they could be pasting in back together.

    It's still good, but I don't understand the need to make major plot changes when you have two entire giant books to get source material from. All they had to do was distill the boring parts and follow the good plot they have gift wrapped for them.

    Is it because they figure they only have another season left before the actors contracts run out and they start asking for crazy amounts of money and so they figure that will be it?

    I've been waiting for that since the first episode! And those kids! Awesome!

    Does anyone know if 'the dead' are considered white walkers or at least WW in training?

    I figured the WW's would have an army themselves, but why fight if you could summon the dead to do it for you? They are smarter than I thought.

    This season is probably the best yet and that's saying A LOT!

    As far as I can tell, the White Walkers are some evil undead wizards and the dead that they rise, otherwise known as Wights, are their minions.

    I think it was last season when the Night King turned one of Crasters living sons into a baby White Walker.

    Based on the stories told to Bran by his nanny in the first book, the Night King may be a former Lord of the North, possibly a Stark, that was seduced by a White Witch.
