Spoiler Or, as it turns out, they were there all along. Funny what you miss when you're watching a dragon die.... please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Get a life mate, it's a fantasy show with a zombie army and dragons and you spend half your time trying to justify why things make sense
They aren't zombies. Only as sad as people also questioning said things happening in a fantasy show... or even 'losing respect' for fictional characters...
I can't quite make that out. So the chains were just lying about, were already on the dragon or were being carried by The Night King's army in case anyway? Also, how come some of the dead just spring to 'life' some time after death and others need 'turning' by a 'walker?[/spoiler]
Spoiler There's a small dock on the edge of the frozen lake with a bunch of chains on it. I never noticed it until I saw these pics on twitter. They don't just spring to life, the NK brings them to life. The magic in GoT isn't very well explained to be fair, that's one of the weak points of the show. Just look at the faceless men - half of those abilities make no ****ing sense on face value as they haven't been explained.
Cheers. I’m sure in an early series, the dead rose up and attacked some soldiers of the Watch near The Wall. Are we supposed to think that TNK brought those to life, then ****ed off away from The Wall again?
Yeah, as long as he's within a certain vicinity, he can bring them back. Like I said, it's never explained properly, and is kept quite vague in the books, maybe someone like Bran can enlighten us at some point. Hardhome was the first time we actually saw him do it in person if I recall. (God I love that episode)
Anything can happen that the writers want to. I don't know why people demand explanations for or rationalise events, they wrote it, that's it.
Okay excuse my ignorance, but what are the books and author that tell this tale - it's got to be done.
