Game of Thrones SHOW thread for people who are confused by the book thread

[WildcatNkilt]

So rumors are next season will be shorter (6 episodes) and will run 80 minutes in length and not 60.  So we have 7 episodes to finish out this series. 

Does the wall even come down? 

The episodes will move at a fast rate like Lord of the Rings movies do.  It will have to.  We have 8 total hours of show for next season.

If uncle Benjen can't go passed the Wall, can the wight they captured go passed it?

 

I never know which one to use when describing physically passing something. It didn't happen in the past so why would it be "past"?

"Passed" is a past tense verb.

I wasn't super satisfied with the whole night king scene, but I think you could explain some of the apparent holes by the fact that (1) I think you're supposed to get the fact that the night king really just does not care that much about Jon Snow or any of the other mains, and (2) he could have been using them as bait the whole time. I'm not sure that makes total sense though.

I agree the most problematic part of last episode was how they got that thing past the wall. Best I can figure the rules don't apply if you fly over or around it.

Or if you consider that one of those things was past the wall in season 1.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Did the Night King know about the dragons before they got there? If so, how?

OK, so why are there different rules for Uncle Benjen?

[WildcatNkilt]

Did the Night King know about the dragons before they got there? If so, how?

Didn't he fight them before?  I assume this is the same Night King from thousands of years ago.

[TownieCat]

The things I am remembering about the horn are so vague...I'm not sure if I am remembering GoT horn or Wheel of Time horn details.

Mance was looking for it but couldn't find it.

There is also the horn euron has he claims can control dragons.

What about the horn Sam found at the Fist of the First Men back in season 2?

OK, maybe but how did he know that after thousands or years being extinct that there were new ones who would be coming to rescue the A Team?

Maybe he didn't know they went extinct.

Benjen isn't like the other wights.

Possibly, but the horn we are talking about is huge like those ricola (sp?) commercials

Are you talking about the ones that were actually raised on the other side of the wall, or did they physically go through? I honestly don't remember.

[catastrophe]

He was able to see Bran doing his time traveling thing. Maybe he has a similar ability?

They were nights watch dudes that were killed north of the wall but brought back the castle black and then zombied

[catastrophe]

So like, maybe you can cross the wall while dead but not while undead.

[star seed 7]

Well the zombie survived last night

OK, thanks. So the NK saw the red comet like 5 years ago and knew the dragons would be on their way any time now....

[Mrs. Gooch]

OK, but how long would it take Gendry to run back to Eastwatch, a raven to fly to Dragonstone, and then dragons to fly back up to the North arrow shaped mountain area?

[star seed 7]

I dunno, how fast do dragons fly?

Well they have been waiting for like 8 thousand years or something, I doubt another 5 is a big deal

[WildcatNkilt]

We still don't know if Bran can control undead animals do we?  Could Bran take control of white-walker dragon?
