Very much so. And Djawadi deserves credit for coming up with a theme that remains catchy after years of watching the series. But that's pretty much all there is to it. It's seriously simple, there's no variation or anything, and the arrangement could probably be done in a matter of minutes once you have the melody. All in all, it seems to me like Djawadi just got lucky when he had the inspiration for the melody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 There's variation enough throughout the what, 90 seconds it runs for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this is pretty central to the whole point of the talked up threat of the White Walkers. Basically, there's little wonder Cersei really gives a shit about them, since by the time they *MIGHT* arrive at King's Landing, she'll be long dead anyway, of old age. How rubbish is this! Why bother to send a Crow when you can just send Jon instead? We are witnessing the early days of Amazon Prime in Westeros. I hate this sort of thing, it's inexcusable.

If they do write it off as being precisely that though, like as in an actual brief verbal exchange between the characters... that will be WEEEEEAK.

crocodile 8,020 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 If the white walkers can "climb down" the mountain during Hardhome sequence (although you can't really see it) why can't they just climb up the wall? Or maybe they should just build the ships and sail around it like everyone else does? They clearly have enough "braindead" capacity. Besides, it's not like they're going to die doing either of those things. You can just re-animate them again. Why not. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol There's some kind of magic from the Children in the foundations of the Wall, so the Dead can't just pass through. I guess it'll be broken if the Wall, or the foundation melts.

KK 3,307 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm sure the Walkers weren't waiting for the dragon. If they were, that'd be dumb. I'm not sure how they would even know about Dany and her dragons. They must have had some other plan in mind to cross the Wall. They just have a crazy new weapon to add to their arsenal.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The dragon is just a happy coincidence. A very cool twist actually. People should accept it as such and leave it at that, because it's more fun than overthinking it. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
