"Valar Morghulis" is the first "big reveal" of the White Walkers and I move that we use this appearance as our new standard for representing the White Walkers. Up until now we've been using that screenshot from "Winter is Coming"....but that was on screen for a fraction of a second. We've championed it, pored over it as our only available photo, but really...to the non-wiki TV-first casual reader, they'd barely recognize where that came from. Moreover, I've always suspected that it was just placeholder CGI, not a "hero shot" for what the White Walkers are "supposed to look like". In the books, I imagined them as looking vaguely vampire-like; with bright chalk-white skin, smooth and sharp as marble. They do have a whole "ice demon" vibe going on. The placeholder stuff from "Winter is Coming" barely resembles this and I think was just in broad brushstrokes, to leave an "impression" in the split-second it flashes on screen. That thing didn't even have a nose. The "full reveal" in Valar Morghulis reveals that they don't have skeletal faces, they do have noses. They look more like dried, mummified corpses walking around. Also if at all possible, we need a good screenshot of that undead Wight-Horse.--The Dragon Demands 03:47, June 4, 2012 (UTC)
