There's honestly a whole lot of story North of the Wall that's been skipped over, removed, or not alluded to. Mance is a lot less sympathetic (and interesting) character in the TV series than the books. They skipped out the story why he left the Night's Watch, his wife, the fact he was a singer and many other details.
