Today I learned that my mind's eye + GRRM's prose are about 80 times better at coming up with scary shit than HBO is. The zombie attack was WAY creepier in my head, to the point I was uncomfortable as it approached in the episode, and then it just looked stupid. The treatment of the white walkers overall have not been nearly creepy enough since the first episode. Oh well at least I was able to sleep.
Oh, and, come on HBO, flex your uncensoredness and give us wooden sword in eye-socket...that scene was pretty lamed out as well, relative to the book's awesomesauce.
Still happy, and trying not to be 'that guy', but those two scenes were highlights of good writing for me so I was sad to see them present but weak.
