Game of Thrones returned Sunday night and the season premiere showed us one of the White Walkers' strangely familiar calling cards.

One of the last scenes from "Winterfell" showed Tormund Giantsbane, Beric Dondarrion, Eddison Tollett, and other survivors from the Night King's assault on the Wall at Last Hearth, the home of House Umber.

The party discovers the body of Lord Ned Umber mounted on a wall surrounded by a spiral of severed human limbs. \

Suddenly, the young lord reanimates as a wight and shrieks before Beric lights him on fire with his sword. Lord Umber shrieks for a while longer before the fire consumes him entirely and he goes silent.

It's that spiral that caught everyone's eyes, though.

We've seen those spirals before. The first time was during Season 1, when the White Walkers arrange a group of wildlings in the same pattern.

The Night King's horses are cut up and arranged in a similar pattern in Season 3. Additionally, the same spirals are seen on the walls of the caves in Dragonstone in Season 7.

No one knows what these spirals mean but they're bound to hold some significance for the Night King, right?



We wager it's this, though:

One theory: The symbol is startlingly similar to the Targaryen crest. Does this mean Rhaegar Targaryen is the Night King?


Whether Rhaegar's the Night King or not, the scene definitely freaked many people out. Let's face it: That Umber boy was creepy as hell.





What's coming down the pike for us next week? Some answers, perhaps? Let's hope.

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Fox News sparked eyerolls from critics after attempting to blame Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico for not trying to shut down a viral MAGA conspiracy theory that he'd had a mental health episode and was admitted to a facility.

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
