You're overthinking it. The Walkers have fought the Nights Watch for thousands of years. They know who the crows are. They took them especially seriously because they're their chief foe. They were watching from a distance and clearly saw Snow was the leader because he was giving all the orders with the evacuation and when Snow killed one of them the walkers' leader was like "oh damn, so he's nice."
It's also why they didn't chase them into the water. It wasn't so much about wiping them out right there as it was about sending a message. The Watch and Wildlings lost that fight and now they're shook of what's coming their way and that terror will carry back south to the wall.
You can't communicate that in thought and internal exposition like you can in a book, so they have to make a show of it with lots of cheesy facial expressions and cliché fight scenes like Snow vs. the Walker.

This was the HBO synopsis of the oath keeper episode. They then changed it when they realized they spilled the beans View media item 1567107

I'm anti-spoiler but in the show they send him to the Umbers. It's said when they separate.Exactly. People need to quit blatantly exposing themselves. Word to Paul Reuben in the theater years ago...^^^ I see, so more book/google spoilers then.
In the books he goes to Skagos where life is unpleasant.
HNL wasn't spoiling.

I don't think they did...
Rickon goes to the Last Hearth in the show and they say that in the episode he left.

no it's irrelevant for the simple fact it seems like they're not after one particular person (as some of you are swearing they are)
They're just out to take back their land and destroy.
Why would I need to know who it is?
What importance to you is it..?
do you think it's a stark and they got together in order to take revenge for the starks.....
news flash they been in the north killing before any stark died unjustly.

Considering it could just be a completely new/different person and this isn't canon? Not paricularly.
And yes, as TDogg pointed out, the White Walkers precede the Wall and the Starks. That whole Night's King story isn't as important as the people in this thread try to make it out to be.
He was the 13th LC. They were a problem long before him.

Sword is Valyrian Steel.
Btw, I just realized that Mormont sent Thorne to King's Landing with a Wight's Hand, but I don't remember if anything came of it? Anyone remember?

Knowing Cersei or Joffrey they probably just fed that hand to the dogs.

It interests me because this show/books is great at turning nothing into something... Look at Lancel from Season 1 and where he is now... Did anyone see him becoming a game changer in season 5?... **** no... Everything on this show is in context to something else on the show...
What if all the White Walkers are Starks?... Maybe only Starks can be the WW's?... The outfits the WW were all of high quality and only for Nobles...
The show makes me think... **** you want me to say

Lancel helped kill King Robert, smashed Cersie while Jamie was gone, became an informant for tyrion and now snitched on Cersie. He's been gone for a couple seasons but he's always been a piece in the game.

Well I mean...It interests me because this show/books is great at turning nothing into something... Look at Lancel from Season 1 and where he is now... Did anyone see him becoming a game changer in season 5?... **** no... Everything on this show is in context to something else on the show...

A. Lancel does a lot in the story, so there's plenty of reasons to think he'd be important. He was the one who was squiring for Robert when he was killed by the boar and its mentioned many times how Robert appeared to be drunker than usual/drugged. Lancel later is seen smashing Cersei. He's implicated in plenty of story important occurrences.
B. Why would only Starks be White Walkers? There are White Walkers in Essos, and before Arya no Starks there. We know white walkers aren't exclusively Starks. It wouldn't even make sense if the show tried to make that a thing because from Melisandre and every follower of R'hllor we know the Great Other exists all over the world.
