Game of Thrones TV Thread **HBO-Purists ONLY**

I'm a non book reader, and it's definitely something that can be known from the show alone.

s01e01, we get a few glimpses of White Walkers. They are fast, agile, and like Renton said, they seem to toy with their prey similar to Predator. Later in the series we see the Zombified dead who seem to have single digit IQ's and kind of lumber around. An exception to these categories would be the little girl in s01e01 who appears, then vanishes/moves very quickly when the character and the camera look away. I'm not sure what to make of this yet. Either it was just for dramatic run-of-the-mill horror shock value, there's a different grouping of reanimated undead, or the White Walkers themselves were behind the off-screen, seemingly rapid movements of the undead girl.

You guys could be right, that there is nearly no way that the average watch-every-episode-just-once viewer could get this. But that goes for a ton of stuff on the show. I myself have watched every episode at least three times and some many more times. I read this and another well modded book only thread on another message board, and when I watch the show has my complete attention, because there's so much going on.

If you are both a casual viewer, and super nitty about spoilers, then I'd suggest you don't participate in these threads. I don't mean that to be offensive-- I just mean that non book readers who put way more effort into the show, and book readers who really are posting in the spirit of the thread, will appear to you to be spoiling when it's not the case. Essentially you'll just always be perturbed and muck up the thread with "omg spoilers!"

So are you saying you got it from the show already, or did you figure it might be true when someone who read the books spoiled it for you? Because there is very little of the fantasy element so far in GoT and all we've been told is that the zombies are called White Walkers, as far as I could tell there was no reason to think there are different types instead of just White Walkers being able to look differently..
