    Are the two fairly different from another, in terms of the story it tells?

    Yeah Under Heaven is a more personal story, rarely straying from the protagonists with a smaller scale whereas River of Stars is much more spread out covering a fair few more areas and characters and the characters are far more involved with the wide scale events of the book.

    But there both set in the same universe, though centuries apart with a couple of callbacks.

  2. The bloody gate just looked stupid to me - it doesn't seem like much of an obstacle when anyone with decent rock climbing skills can get around and drop a rope/ prop up a ladder for everyone else.





    I assume both NCW and definitely Sean Bean actually have done some sword work in one of their films. Wasn't NCW in Kingdom of Heaven?




    Yeah but he was one of the characters who really suffer from the cuts made for the theatrical version - in that he's just some random who attacks them for the sake of a fight scene in the Director's cut he's Orlando Bloom's cousin and his hunting them down because they killed his brother (Martin Sheen)


  3. white walkers and whights are NOT the same thing. White Walkers are a race, who has the power to reanimate corpses, using them like puppets, in a way. Those corpses are just zombified people, called wights, and it's wights we saw on the pilot, not white walkers.

    I thought anyone in this topic would've read the books.

    The thing in the pilot that killed the Gared and Royce was an Other/White Walker. It had an ice sword and spoke the same as they do in the novel.

  4. Were videos not released of a Jaqen audition for season 2? Does this mean that he was not cast properly for s1 so they kept him hidden by a hood. Also does the man in the pic not have a scared nose? They could have decided he just has a scared nose rather than missing one to save on cost
