Yep, and Samwell sees one up close in Season 2 leading one of the undead armies. We've seen them plenty.

I dunno, in the previous encounters there were 3 or 4 generals and they all looked different from one another. This time they looked like mirror images....

One of them's got a beard, the rest don't. There. Not clones!

I remember that scene and it's made me wonder if it had a deeper meaning than was apparent. He saw the White Walker and the White Walker saw him but he was ignored. I would have expected him to be attacked and I wonder why he wasn't.

In my opinion, he simply didn't see Sam as any kind of threat, seeing how they were in the middle of nowhere beyond the Wall. Sam would die either way. (but plot armor protects!)


Or, he simply let him live so Sam could tell others about what he saw, to spread fear. We see this in the first episode of the show where a White Walker leaves one of the three Night's Watch alive in the forest so he could go back and tell what he saw.

Okay, I re-watch the ending and yes I see the one with the beard. Still, looked kind of strange

Those Generals are the male babies that they got from Crasters Keep. You can see one them turned into a White Walker by the Night King at the end of episode four of season four.

I suppose it could be either of those things or something else completely different, but I figure that they wouldn't have added the scene without a good reason. At first I thought it was a way of making Sam an eye witness but we get that just an episode later when he kills one. Using the dragon glass he had just found before the first encounter btw.

I just think the first scene was more than just for a little eye candy.

Don't get me wrong, I can see and understand the similarities in them but they are definitely not clones.
