Lost Umber Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Every one else goes through the trouble of burning their dead so they can't come back as wights. It's not so easy to burn a freshly killed body... Trust me. I imagine it's especially difficult in the freezing cold. The Weeper doesn't waste time with burning. He just cuts out the eyes...like a boss. They can't turn blue and become wights. The dudes is brilliant. No wonder he's stilling running free.

aryagonnakill#2 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've thought about that also, I think the eyes turning blue is similar to the movie I robot where when the red light is on they are being controlled by the super computer, the blue eyes show the WW's are connected. However it seems like if thats all it took than other wildlings would be doing that as well, and the weaper has also been doing that since before the WW's were a threat, so I think it's just his thing. Though as of this moment, he very well may be since he is leading his group, and the other group is led by a lady talking about prophecies and such at Hardhome, which didn't work out so well for them.

The Sleeper Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Varamyr's prologue in Dance. When he tries to warg Thistle, the spearwife that was with him, she scratches her eyes out. Next thing you know ahe rises as a wight with blue lights in her eye-sockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just destroyed my theory. And what a dumb-ass that weeper is! No wonder he got beat by The Old Pomegranate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a fire hot enough to turn a body (and bones) to ash is not particularly easy, especially not with an open-air fire in the wild. The chamber of a crematorium is typically 1400-2100 degrees F.

A bit more work than taking out eyes, but faster than burning, and an army of legless, undead ankle biters just isn't that fearsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfell Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Cold weather tends to have very low humidity, might make it easier to burn a body because of desiccation, although I don't know how quickly that would happen or to what degree it would be offset by bodily fluids freezing that would otherwise have evaporated. I could see it going either way, but I'd imagine that the freezing probably would make them harder to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Rose Crown Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well, this went off the rails quickly. I liked Myrcella's dress. The coral one she wears when she tells jaime he looks different. She is a princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the others rose with their blue eyes and found themselves dressed like that they would be way too ashamed to go anywhere. That dress was on par with Serpentor's uniform in terms of absurdity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, nothing against the dress per say, although it's not really to my taste, but it is quite anachronistic to the universe the story is suppose to be set in. That's what my main gripe with it is.
