That's the thing that GOT manages so well- the effect of a death on the rest of the show, using it to significantly change the course of action and have it hanging over the entire series for several episodes to follow.
Sam says the bodies must have been touched by White Walkers to transform, because he read about it in Hogwarts: A History.
I feel like four seasons could have been saved if Osha hadn't been so OMINOUS and just taken Luwin aside and explicitly said, “The White Walkers are awake, this is what I saw,” and Luwin would have remembered something he read from the books at the Citadel, reached out to Aemon and the Night’s Watch, gathered evidence, presented it to the court, and we would have had a four-season show, no Red Wedding, and we’d all be drinking with Oberyn in Dorne right now.
“There is only one god and his name is Death and there is only one thing we say to Death: not today.” I’d give my left foot for this line to make it back into the final season.
They throw Tyrion into a cell, which is three walls and an opening to a very long fall. AS HIGH AS HONOR. GET IT.
Tyrion strolls in aaaaaand we get introduced to some fellow that seems to do anything for money. Dude. It’s Bronn. BRONN!
The Night’s Watch = merry band of pirates. I’m into it.
There is so much information in these earlier scenes that go beyond the dialogue. GODS I’VE MISSED YOU, SEASON 1.
Hold onto your fur rugs from Ikea and AWAY WE GO. JOIN US.
At one point of the movie, a psychiatrist says, “I’m having a hard time why people are talking about Joe Paterno at all.” I wish this movie had enough guts to take its own advice.
