About the undead, ps, I think they are all obviously linked with dark magics, I also suspect that the Others are actually humans who made a pact with a kind of "devil" entity, and that the Starks have also something to do with what is happening beyond the wall...

Some people made an interesting theory about the Starks as kings of winter: "Winter is Coming", the words of House Stark. I think thse words are stating that, when winter comes, the Starks rule. How and why they rule the winter is still an unknown. Do the old gods/"Others" aid the Starks? Or do the Starks (like a werewolf) turn into "other" beings?

Tell me what oyu think about that theory.

I think that The Others are controlled by Bloodraven and Bran will soon take the spot of BloodRaven

topic mentioned s5e8, i expected spoilers from the tv show not from the books

if you mean to spoiler from the books at least write it down as latnox did

hmmm, i don't believe that can be true. the stark lineage worships the old gods that the tree people also worshipped, the tree people were enemies with the others and knew how to fight them (they used the glass to hunt and such), and the old gods also seem to be somehow inlined with the so called firegod (that the red-witch worships, which is also related to valeria, which explains the power of valerian steel also has against the others). i'm guessing that there is a direct opposition between the cold / winter power that the others/wildwalkers have and the old gods / fire god.

it was a stark who built the wall to protect the north from the others centuries ago. so i don't think they have power to control the others. what bran will do is take over the work of the bloodraven who is dying and serves the old gods and is probably the last stronghold of the tree people, hidden deep in the north where they can protect themselves against the others and are far away from the reach of humans.

Bloodraven doesn't necessarily serve the old gods and is himself not a child of the forest.

I'd have to agree with that ^

I think that they have cut Aegon out of the show. Probably not to confuse people or something like that. I also think it is better that Tyrion and Daenerys met because they are my two favorite Game of Thrones characters (and of course Jon Snow) and I believe they will make a dynamic duo. I am frankly appalled that the Greyjoy story line has not been shown. I really like Victarion. Also, I think it is stupid that the show decided to change Asha to Yara. Yara is a stupid name. I also really liked how Stannis did not give up Shireen, she is a sweet thing and he is a good man. The battle between the combined Night's Watch and Wildlings vs. The White Walkers wasn't in the book but it was awesome. I really thought Jon Snow was gonna eat it (would've destroyed the story-line because it is different in the book). I seriously would've quit the show. You can't break George R.R. Martin's storyboard. Sldo very sad Aemon went, such a good guy. Also, Teyene, the girl Who tried to seduce Bronn, the sellsword that accompanied Jaime played her part well. A couple differences between the book and show. Shireen was left at the Wall along with Melsisandre. Selyse (His scratchy voiced wife) and Sir Davos (Guy with the beard who is always by Stannis' side). The Martells and Jaime have entirely different stories. Well, frankly there is way too many differences for me to explain so, that is where I leave you.

I think I heard from someone somewhere that the White Walkers and their army of the dead were created to fight the dragons--probably after some crazy Targaryen fucked everyone with them--thru shear numbers and ruthlessness, and their ability to make more "soldiers" by just using the dead is almost unstoppable.
But I'm not sure how accurate that is since we just saw a Valyrian steel sword to kill one. And if the Valyrians created them then it might have been a fail-safe to stopping them.
Who knows, all this is just mindless fanfiction and theorycrafting.

The Others existed before Valyria did so that theory is basically invalid.

^^

by "others" you mean the White Walkers right?
if so whoever made that shit up is dum

yes, the others == white walkers.

valeryan steel might have same background relation to the fire god, which is the god worshipped in the cities around valerya (where mellisandre comes from). the lineage of the targeryans is related to fire magic itself (how khaleesi didn't get burned in the fire that hatched the dragon eggs for exame)
