)They are the same thing. White Walkers.
Wait. So you're saying the things that were 'walking' (like the zombies from TWD) in the last scene of season 2 (or was it season 1, can't remember) are the same as these guys who ride horses and look somewhat different are the same? My memory is pretty screwed up then.
Yes and they look exactly the same.
If I recall correctly, there were white walkers riding horses in the last scene of season two along with shuffling, walking ones. They are the same ones, both had blue eyes also.
So we only have the wildlings and white walkers beyond the wall. Thanks for clearing it up!
I suppose that last scene in the most recent episode was the White Walker equivalent of a Kings Landing council meeting

sadly, looks like they don't have a mad king like Joffrey among them... such a pity they had to kill him in the show.. I'm missing his antics 
There are two different things in there.
- White Walkers, which is a species in itself that resides in The Land of Always Winter. They are the ones we saw in the last episode, the white colored ones, with blue eyes riding on the horse. They can only be killed with dragonglass and possess superhuman strength.
- Wights, which are reanimated dead bodies that serve the white walkers. They look like the zombies which we saw in the last episode of season 2. They can be killed by fire. The White Walkers are the ones who reanimate the dead bodies along their path of destruction and turn them into wights who serve them as their army.
The walking ones at the end of S2 aren't White Walkers, they're Wights. And before anyone moans, it's all been explained in the show before.
So there are indeed 2 different things. OK. Now if Sam killed a white walker (as per @Cina's post) then who was it that was killed in Castle Black when Jon Snow's wolf bit someone (in season 2?)? Was that a Wight or a white walker or a wildling?
And in the last scene of the previous epsiode where Caster's new born is 'turned' - what is he turned into? A white walker because he gets the same blue eyes and is turned when he's alive or a Wight (whom I assume has to be killed before he gets turned into one)?
I'm confused now
EDIT:
If a white walker can freeze things, then how did Sam kill that thing with a small knife? And can someone refresh my memory as to where he got it from?

Season one no? John killed them by fire, so they were Wights.
@Cina Sorry I didn't remember which season it was.
So if that was a Wight, how did it get beyond the wall? Has that been cleared in the show already or is it something from later in the books?
Sorry but i'm having so many questions 'cos I just can't seem to remember things enough to connect the dots without reading anything about the books online.

I can't 100% remember but as I recall, two rangers went beyond the wall scouting, they were killed by White Walkers, the bodies were found and they were brought back to Castle Black. They came back to life as Wights then that night (because they were killed by the White Walkers) and attacked people, and Jon killed them by burning them.
When alive he was a member of the nights watch who went missing on a ranging north of the wall. They went out searching for him and the others who went missing with him, found his body and brought it back to the castle with them.

Can you remember anything? Serious question.
Sam killed the thing with Dragon Glass. It was a stash they found buried north of the wall.
Good lord man! Watch the show again.
The rangers found a batch of knives and shards buried around some weird bunch of stones when north of the wall, they turned out to be made of Dragon-glass (as it sounds, forged from glass burnt by Dragons) and because it killed the White Walker when he stabbed it, it proved that that's what they have a weakness to (when he had his normal sword out, the White Walker froze it by holding it).
Yes, I really need to start watching the show again from season one.
The small knife was made of dragonglass, that kills white walkers.So there are indeed 2 different things. OK.

That's actually what I did. You get a lot better idea of things when you watch it all over again once. I actually had remembered very little from season 2in the first viewing but got the details right much better in the second time out.
inb4 you are jobless. Yes, I am.
I rewatched season 1 and most of season 2 in the past 2 weeks. I really knew nothing about a lot of the characters until now
I had missed so much
Also there is a really good GOT Wiki that doesnt have book spoilers thats very handy.
Yeah, that's what I quoted the White Walker stuff from:
http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/White_Walkers
Although it does have a section called "in the books" farther down, just to warn yiz.
I don't think even that section has book spoilers. It just tells the events we have already seen in the show from the books point of view.
Yeah it does but some people won't like that.
Bookmarked.
Wonder how the book readers keep tabs on the characters/every little thing - the books are years apart and I'm sure when the first 2 books came out, we didn't even have such internet forums to gather info from!

I'm definitely going to rewatch from the very start again at some point, tempted to buy the S1-3 box set. It's such an overwhelming show that the experience would probably be vastly different with the prior knowledge we now have.
If anyone has Sky, they have every episode on Demand. Its terrific
I didn't read A Song of Ice and Fire that early, but there were absolutely forums and chat services in the late 90s.
Agreed. Dany's assistant is way hotter than Dany. Just have a look at this GIF.Dany's assistant is way better, if she get's her kit off with the unsullied then we shall debate
NSFW!
Even Doreah, the one who teaches her all those raunchy sex moves and played by Roxanne McKee, is way hotter than Dany.
NSFW you eejit!
sorry. Didn't think people were at work while on the caf.

She is the one!

That ass is to die for!
She should have been made the Khalesi.. Just dye her hair. She has a better dialogue delivery than Emilia Clarke IMO.

Targaryens are supposed to have pale skin though.
ohh.. I thought it was just about the silver hair.
There's a sentence I've never seen in this thread before.
The most "interesting" story for me is what is going on at Dragonstone. Melisandre's magic is devastating. She has already eliminated Renley. And while Joffrey and Robb died because of other reasons, it happened after she granted Stannis three wishes so who's to say it was nothing to do with that!
I love Ser Davos, he's an incredibly clever man and I expect a lot from him. They really need an alliance, though. Getting Renley's army was good, but if they want to attack again, they really need to make some allies. Maybe House Martell can support them, as they are not too fond of Lannisters themselves. The Lannister-Tyrell alliance is pretty tough to break at the moment.

Next episode looks absolutely mind blowing!
