Ok but seriously, how was Tarly made a night's watchman? He failed at combat and a couple weeks later he takes his vows? I understand they bring guys from prisons to guard the wall, but at least they know how to fight? Wouldn't Tarly just be a bother to have around? They should make him the cook or something..
I've read the book and seen the movie. The story of the White Walkers and their undead followers is equally frightening and interesting. Who are they? Are they human? What do they want? Where did they come from? So many questions waiting to be answered surrounding one of the darkest races in both Westeros and Essos. I truly can't wait to find out more, and i doubt that the viewers of this video can, either.
@morethanever100 No honor? That's the only thing the Nights Watch do get. I think you meant to say they get no glory. But the Night's Watch is a brotherhood. If you lost everything, say to a natural disaster or to a war.. or you were an ex-soldier with no home.. you'd likely join the Night's Watch just to have a purpose in your life.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls.
@NitohRyu I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all nights to come
From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is your name. Silence your native tongue. You're no longer part of the Seven Kingdoms. You're above the Seven Kingdoms. Over them. Beyond them. We're "them." We're "they." We are the Nght's Watch.

I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
I also missed the part of the fire,the light and the horn. I think that 3 parts of the oath give it much more strenght than te others, except perhaps "The sword in the darkness"
Anyway,this oath is epic,in a way or another. Long live George RR Martin and the brave men of the Night´s Watch.
Strange they kept out these two sentences, 3 more seconds couldn't be that much harm you'd say, unless they were maybe perhaps stuck with too short footage.

@nuitaridark For the most part the show as a whole stayed pretty true to the books. But that doesn't change the fact that this is not the full oath of the Nights Watch. They should have never changed something so simple. I mean I know they had to cut some stuff and change others to make the show work, but in this case I think they should not have cut stuff out from this oath.
@Wisdomwalker Could this be the horn discovered by Euron of the Iron Islands??? It was an ancient horn of magic. But capable of summoning who or what??? The Sleepers??? could they be the dragons???, the Others??? or the Children of the Forest???
@upwdat The horn that wakes the sleepers, meaning that when dawn comes the night's watch sounds the horn and the people who were sleeping wake up for the new day.
@BigMikeMcBastard not sure if it was really meant to wake the humans from sleeping. Not liking the sound of that. But the way it was handled by the Iron Islanders REEKS of something different and something BIG was coming to "aid" their course when it is used...lol i'd like the sound of that. All we know is the Children of the Forest were an ancient race who helped the "First Men" defeat the Others. Now that the Others have awoken once again, the Children have'nt...kreepy
@upwdat You need to take it in context. It's really not a mystical oath really. The "fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men." They're just saying that they're the guys who protect the Seven Kingdoms against the cold night.

You get no honor, you get no money, you get no women. There are not even a promise of an afterlife.
You must be crazy, running from the law or suicidal to join the Night Watch. Otherwise you are just stupid.
