The thing I most liked about this episode was finding out this show could actually shock me (much like non book readers and red wedding reaction). I keep thinking...ok that is the end....ok thats it. Once I saw the alter I shouted WTF quite loudly. I never thought about the whitewalkers do with those babies. Makes sense now, but I figured they used them in black magic or some shit. This also tells me that they've been stealing babies for however many thousand of years they have been absent from world affairs.
I also wonder...if a whitewalker can change a human baby into a whitewalker....Could they also change an adult? What if Ramsay Snow makes a deal with the frozen devil? Just a thought.
I also love that the show is changing things to allow for more interactions, its only making the show greater for that freedom, to fill in blanks and take liberties...i dont see it changing much in the end. Id love to see if the show ends one way and GRRM does it differently in his last book.

the show started shocking me when they cut neds dreams from season 1. i think readers are shocked by cuts/changes more so than the actual events. the things we see but havent read are things we still knew were going on, we just hadnt had a first hand account. i thought most people accepted that the WWs were either turning the babes, or, killing them for some form of sacrifice.
i dont think any WW can change them, i think that was the point of the ritual, its kind of a big deal, and i think only the great other can change them. (if that special WW was actually the nights king and not the great other, then im forced to believe theres been more than one nights king in the last couple thousand years, as the first one was killed by the combined efforts of the king in the north and the king beyond the wall.
and i agree with u on your last bit. with the show-runners knowing how the series ends from the mouth of GRRM, and with GRRM heavily involved in the show, you can bet your ass that he will not let the show ruin his lifes work.
cant wait for the breinne and pod story to begin
