I agree with that. The wall is truly awesome.

I love Jurassic Park, but it never pretended to be a movie about anything other than dinosaurs eating people. My complaint is that GoT has lulled me to this point. Look, we'll see how it all wraps up. There's certainly a lot of ground to cover. Maybe I'll like it.

Yeah the moat would have to be really deep and have a current not to freeze. Could they build that? No, but they couldn't build a 200 foot tall (?) wall of ice across a continent either. The wall is cooler, for sure, and allows them to shoot cool stuff off the top, but I'm guessing the moat would have been an easier…

So, all water freezes in the winter, except that bit that conveniently let Jon Snow escape very, very slowly.

No, I'm fearful that the weirdest fantasy elements are about to eclipse the parts of the show I like the most.

If they can't cross water, perhaps a moat would have done the trick.

lol, I like the Faith Militant and the other items you're referring to. Don't see how the icy zombies fit into those real world concerns, but I should just try and enjoy the ride while it lasts.

They don't have to freeze it to the bottom. But your explanation has some merit.

I was truly entertained with the action scene last night. Don't get me wrong. It's the best ice zombie battle scene in the history of television or cinema.

I agree with your criticism of the Walking Dead, but at least the show occasionally tries to deal with actual human problems.

The White Walkers are associated with extremely cold and long winters. Maybe they're not intentionally causing the weather change, but just come along when the weather shifts. I have no idea. If the show explained it, I missed it. Seems like a plausible theory, despite your sarcasm.

It sure seems like the white walkers control the weather. They couldn't freeze the water or something. It just makes no sense for them not to be frightened out of their pants at that point. Even if they realized that the zombies can't swim, why risk that they'll come up with a solution? Rushing was in order at that…

I agree with you. I made the same point about the first scene below. I still feel sorta lulled into this weirdness. If you had told someone five years ago that one of the most popular shows on TV would involve a pivotal scene where a giant plays whack-a-mole with ice zombies and zombie children are shown eating a…

That's a fair point. The very first scene of the show pointed in this direction, so I should have known this was coming.

Huh?

Wait a second. They basically know nothing about the zombies and the white walkers. Almost no one has seen them. There's no written record of how to fight them. But they're certain, after seeing the zombies not swim for a minute, that it's impossible for them to cross a river (or bay or whatever that was)? Ridiculous.

I'll still watch, but the show has jumped the shark in my view. Last night's episode was the Walking Dead on steroids set in a Viking camp. The big reveal was that everybody's new favorite character has a very special sword that kills the super villains, who control the weather and raise the dead, but can't forge a…

Good question, but I got the sense they weren't really supposed to be there any longer.

Hobart is a spoiled brat. I think he did genuinely want Don, but we see behind the McCann curtains a bit in this episode. McCann has a strategy of acquiring its competitors to grow. So, yes, they were excited for Don, and would prefer that he do great things, but the main thing is that he no longer works elsewhere and…

These are fair points. I think you're right that McCann is trampling on SC, which has utterly sold out. That may explain the crap way the McCann bros treated Joan.
