Did i ever tell you about Uncle Benjen?
He was a good friend....
>>86813361
What's wrong with his face, he looks like CGI
THERE IS NO TIME, MODS CLOSE THE THREAD!
He was a zombie right? How come he wasn't under WW control?
>>86813481
Dragonglass or some shit
>>86813481
too cool for that shit
>>86813481
DABID
>>86813481
its the the stark blood
So, Benjen became a unique non-undead-but-still-sort-of-undead type but it will never be explained or explored at all, as he rushed into suicide to save a guy he barely knew?
Will the same happen with NK? No backstory, no motivation, no character other than pure evil for the sake of being evil?
>>86813481
He was a warg and warged back into his own dead body, thus retaining control of it.
Oh wait wargs don't even exist in the show anymore. Disregard all that.
>>86814220
There is backstory for the NK tho
>>86813361
So why couldn't he get on the horse with Jon?
>>86813361
>show confirms undead Benjen and destroys him in the same scene
What the fuck
>>86813481
He wasnt raised by White Walkers.
>>86814331
There's no time.
They could've just never had Benjen appear again and no one would've batted an eye. This was just a really lazy way to get rid of the character.
>>86814329
No there isn't. Some fag got stabbed but that doesn't explain shit.
>>86813481
>How come he wasn't under WW control?
there was no time
>>86814479
>we made them to protect us but shit went wrong
What more do you need
>>86814358
By who then
>>86813361
Benjen knows Jon is a targ
>>86814763
Sorry, no time to explain.
>>86814788
DAAAABIIIIIID
>>86814736
>how did they make it (what was the magic, could they do it again, would it work differently on different people)
>why did they make it (show hasn't talked about first men or their wars iirc)
>why did it go wrong
>what is he in actuality
>is he intelligent and capable of reason or is he evil incarnate acting on instinct
>is he dead or alive
>how does their 'culture' work
>what's their motivation
These from the top of my head. All these questions are towards the NK because the white walkers no longer are anything than a posse following him blindly.
>>86814220
The mountain is a unique undead too.
>>86814220
>save a guy he barely knew?
His nephew, the person who he loved most in the world
>>86815018
It's better to let some things remain a mystery than to bog down the story with pointless expository dialogue
if you don't like it, go read the Silmarillion
>>86815018
Isnt HBO shooting prequel series now?
Im sure they will keep all the juicy backstory for it so they can milk it once GoT is over
>>86813481
3 eyed raven
Thats all I have to say
They could've had Ghost save Jon and keep him warm while getting him to safety. But noooo, they used Unca Benjy.
>>86815437
Would he keep him warm by giving him the knot?
>>86814331
Would not be /fa/
>>86815059
really wanna see the Mountain fuck up a ton of white walkers in the next season ;__;
>WW stabs the Mountain through the torso with an ice spear
>Mountain goes ARRRHHH and smacks his shit
>>86813481
Children of the forest put dragonglass in his heart via stabbing, it halted his transformation, or something I don't know.
>>86813481
All Starks is immune to lose mind when become to WW.
Thats why Bran not lose, NK not lose, Benj etc.
