One of them managed to throw Jon about 10 metres with barely an iota of effort at Hardhome.

Because… er… he wanted to ride a dragon, not Jon Snow?

"Honestly, I feel like the more egregious misstep is the White Walkers somehow being in possession of these massive chains that are juuuust the right length to drag a giant mythical beast up from the bottom of a lake."

Scripts? The whole episode for e06 has been available all week to watch.

I was thinking that maybe the White Walkers can only raise the dead that they've killed themselves either directly, or through their minions. That's why they were able to raise the ranger beyond the wall, because he died by supernatural means.

The problem is that now so many storylines are vital for the endgame, and a lot of them are only driven by one character. That makes very few people actually expendable in a way that can propel the narrative forward.

^^ Wow! We've got a super-cool edgelord here. How are you so awesome that you have the skills to post things purposely designed to upset people?

… like how a solider can push a button to drop a bomb on a city and sleep soundly and still be viewed as an okay guy (by some)…. but if he stabs someone he knows up close, then he's a psycho.

The severed thumb was extremely funny…. but let us never speak of it again.

If the White Walkers are necromancers, that doesn't bode well for Jon Snow now that he's a dead man, does it.

We know she can't have another child, because the prophecy said she would only have 3 children. So either it's a lie, she's gonna lose it, or she'll die before giving birth.

We've already seen in Hardhome that the dead have to be specifically raised by a White Walker.

Man-Buns on the Run

There is no Valonqar in the show's canon.

Gee, it's almost like this show isn't 24, and events don't 'occur in real time'.

The prophecy did, however, tell Cersei that should would only have 3 children… so I can't see this latest pregnancy going well for her.

I dunno… the way it was transported made me think that the existence of the Scorpion wasn't general knowledge. Maybe a few people were trained to use it, and maybe they were killed before they had the chance.

So you reckon he just legged it when the battle started?

Did anyone see what happened to Randyll Tarly? I never saw him in the battle after he gave the command to lower spears during the Dothraki charge… but there was one guy who looked a lot like him on fire during Jamie's melancholic dirge-survey just before he charged at Dany.
