Game of Thrones 1.7 - "You Win or You Die" - Rate and discuss

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

The very first episode would suggest otherwise.

The sequence with the wights in the first episode takes place north of the wall, not south of it.

I don't recall ever hearing any mention of such a thing.

There's a lot of exposition about the world of Westeros yet to come.

And patrols are easy to slip past by anyone with half a brain, regardless.

For small numbers of people, yes. For ships carrying an invasion force, no.
