White Walkers vs. Wights (aka Zombies)

There seems to be confusion with the terminology so I whipped this up. There’s more to White Walkers and their creation and history, but this is the short, quick difference between the two types of creatures you’re seeing. Just using info we’ve been presented with in the show, for simplicity’s sake.

Just one thing they are called The Others.

Not on the HBO show, they aren’t. They’re called the White Walkers, have been since the beginning since the writers were afraid that they would be confused with the Others of “Lost.” And it says above, “using info we’ve been presented with in the show, for simplicity’s sake.”

Even if he found some secret way out, Theon would not have trusted it. He had not forgotten Kyra and her keys. And if he did get out, where would he go? Pyke was lost to him. The nearest thing to a home that remained to him was here, amongst the bones of Winterfell. A ruined man, a ruined castle. This is my place.

She ran as far as the sept, but no farther. There were women waiting for her there, more septas and silent sisters too, younger than the four old crones below. “I am the queen,” she shouted, backing away from them. “I will have your heads for this, I will have all your heads. Let me pass.” Instead, they laid hands upon her. Cersei ran to the altar of the Mother, but they caught her there, a score of them, and dragged her kicking up the tower steps. Inside the cell three silent sisters held her down as a septa named Scolera stripped her bare. She even took her smallclothes. Another septa tossed a roughspun shift at her. “You cannot do this,” the queen kept screaming at them. “I am a Lannister, unhand me, my brother will kill you, Jaime will slice you open from throat to cunt, unhand me! I am the queen!” (Cersei, A feast for crows)
