Winter is coming, fools.

I know nothing of the books.
Perhaps I should start too. But the comments about the huge amount of characters gives me the fear. Despite being a prodigious reader I have trouble separating characters with similar names, If there are 500+ I'm going to have confusion somewhere along the line... Also, it's now being trailed on Sky. As being shown one day after being aired in America (VERY unusual here). Is it a fully British cast? Remember I'm going on trailers here, but all the accents I've heard so far are not even just British, but English. And not just English but Northern! That wo9uld be a reason to watch it all on its own... In the same way I loved True Blood for its setting and accents. |

It's been a while since I read the description in the books, but aren't "White Walkers" supposed to be... white? Or at least light colored? Or maybe that thing was just another animated corpse. Or it could be the lighting.
In any case, I can't wait!

Or were the corpses the Walkers, and the actual creatures just called the Others? It's been a while.
edit: The corpses are wights, and the Others are the same as the White Walkers.

Ta muchly, Ibram.
I might start with the series and move from there to the books. The basic plot structure might help me make sense of the names. As long as none of them look like eachother of course. As in having similar hair or being the same gender.... Hmmm. Maybe start with the books...? ETA - point of interest - Bran is traditionally pronounced with a long a, as in farm, as opposed to a short a as in tan. Of course I don't know the author's ethnicity, he might just have been using a made up name. Last edited by Sundae; 04-16-2011 at 01:27 PM. |
