The sword he holds in the ep2 preview looks pretty fancy, maybe a weddinggift from his grandfather? @0:06 | ||

I like that trailer. I love the Tyrion-Joffrey relationship and I think it's going to get extremely interesting next episode. | ||

Why are people so scared of White Walkers? They seem really slow to me and can be easily killed by fatsos. Also, they don't look like they can swim. Further, what happened to the big army of White Walkers from the end of season 2? We are now in season 4 and no one has encountered it again? | ||

I wouldn't say the majority of Westeros are scared of White Walkers, in fact anytime they're mentioned most people shrug them off as folklore etc. However, because of this very fact, most people haven't seen them but have only heard horrific tales and lore, which lends to the creepiness/scariness. Also, I wouldn't say they're 'easily killed' it seems you need a special blade (dragon glass? or something) and I think they need to be burned as well. As far as the army, I believe all we know from the show is that they're marching toward the wall, and we had brief encounters with them in season 3 iirc, so they're making progress. There is even dialogue of the wildlings being nervous and rumored to see their activity. | ||

A reanimated corpse, brought back as an undead by a White Walker. The army we see at the end of the second season is mostly made of wights, with a few White Walkers to command them. Also, that army was encountered by the Night's Watch at the very beginning of season 3. The first episode opens with a black screen, and the sound of steel on steel and battle in the background. This was most likely done to cut budget, and to be honest I found it disappointing, but yeah. The Night's Watch encountered and fought the army we see at the end of S2, and then that army is said to move slowly toward to Wall, gathering more people as it goes. The White Walkers aren't feared per se, most people don't even know about them or believe in them. The men from the Night's Watch are afraid yes, and so are the wildlings, but that's about it. And they are pretty scary, they have superhuman feats, magical powers, and while their weakness to dragonglass is pretty huge, almost nobody knows about it. The only reason Sam knows about it is because he and Edd + Grenn found the stash of dragonglass blades and daggers at the end of S2. So one would imagine that the supply of dragonglass is very much finite, making it much, much harder to fight the White Walkers. There might be more somewhere out there in the wilderness though, but I think so far only the stash found by Sam & co is available? | ||

I think it's the 7th episode when Robert dies and Ned comes to the throne room where Cersei, Joffrey etc. are gathered. When Eddard presents the paper that's signed by Robert himself Cersei just tears it to pieces. Why didn't anybody(especially Barristan who read it before Cersei) react to this? It felt really odd that something that's signed by the King just got ignored totally. Even though this has already been discussed, there is a scene that answers this perfectly: "Power resides where men believe it resides. It is a trick, a shadow on he wall." | ||
