Did i ever tell you about Uncle Benjen?

Did i ever tell you about Uncle Benjen?
He was a good friend....

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?

Dragonglass or some shit

too cool for that shit

DABID

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?

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.

There is backstory for the NK tho

So why couldn't he get on the horse with Jon?

>show confirms undead Benjen and destroys him in the same scene
What the fuck

He wasnt raised by White Walkers.

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.

No there isn't. Some fag got stabbed but that doesn't explain shit.

>How come he wasn't under WW control?

there was no time

>we made them to protect us but shit went wrong
What more do you need

By who then

Benjen knows Jon is a targ

Sorry, no time to explain.

DAAAABIIIIIID

>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.

The mountain is a unique undead too.

>save a guy he barely knew?

His nephew, the person who he loved most in the world

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

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

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.

Would he keep him warm by giving him the knot?

Would not be /fa/

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

Children of the forest put dragonglass in his heart via stabbing, it halted his transformation, or something I don't know.

All Starks is immune to lose mind when become to WW.
Thats why Bran not lose, NK not lose, Benj etc.
