As we saw in the latest episode of Game of Thrones — Season 8 episode 2, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”, Winterfell prepared to face the Army of the Dead. The episode ended with a shot of the dead onlooking Winterfell from a distance. This scene, however, had a detail that most of us missed, and which is the real reason why we should be scared of The Battle of Winterfell.

Now, in case you don’t remember this particular scene, check out the image, below:

Notice it yet? That’s right. Every member of the Army of the Dead we see here is a White Walker, and not a wight. You can see the front line of the army stretch as far as eyes can see, and they’re all White Walkers, mounted on their horses.

Now, in the show, we have seen a bit about the creation of White Walkers. The Night King was created by the Children of the Forest, and he created the rest. Craster, a wildling, had many wives (who were actually his daughters) and claimed to have had 99 sons from them. We know he offered his newborns to the Night King to be converted into White Walkers. Considering the possibility that there have been more people like Craster, who have aided the Night King, the total number of White Walkers could be much, much higher than we thought.

That being said, maybe Jon’s strategy of going after the Night King directly is the best way out, after all. What do you guys think? Talk to us in the comments, down below!
