With the images we got of the "White Walkers" they didn't exactly look like they were white skinned at all. Of course, a lot of that was from the way they were lit, but still. And it looked rather bulky and muscular, instead of lithe. I always described the Others to people as "evil snow and ice elves" like the Norns in Tad Williams' "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" trilogy (a supposed influence on Martin writing these books). These didn't seem to match my mental image at all.

Although the one Walker's sword did match with the book, it looked made of ice. Just wish it's armor looked like that too.

I always picture the Wights (or others or white walkers or whatever) as being white, like the snow and ice around them. Not black with only blue glowing eyes. I know they affect/infect other people and they come back from the dead but the original ones, aren't they white?



Me too, these Others felt like some sort of primitive Predator with the bulkiness and chase scene.

No, but Jaime and Tyrion have a VERY strong sibling resemblance. Clover - 18/04/2011 06:29:00 AM 1255 Views
Joff's lips were just not pouty enough I thought, still I can't stand the sight of him, so good job *NM* djwilson300 - 18/04/2011 07:13:22 AM 549 Views

Hard to say. Aemon - 18/04/2011 09:44:13 PM 1217 Views

The more, the merrier. Aemon - 19/04/2011 05:26:29 PM 1264 Views
Poopy was kinda strong language. It is a matter of taste and Aemon is my new favorite. djwilson300 - 19/04/2011 06:25:15 PM 1154 Views

this whole discussion has gone way over my head imlad - 20/04/2011 12:53:06 AM 1050 Views
Don't worry about it, there's no reason to know most of that stuff. Aemon - 20/04/2011 08:08:15 AM 1147 Views
Yeah, I think we were just getting confused with some terms. Aemon - 20/04/2011 08:04:47 AM 1087 Views
I def agree with you about Dany's wedding night. *NM* Darth_Katie - 22/04/2011 04:45:10 AM 608 Views

Demonstrating that beauty is subjective, I strongly disagree DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 23/04/2011 09:20:08 PM 1280 Views
