Oh, I loved those books.

And no visible penetration.

It would be a good commentary on politics, which this show (used to) do pretty well.

I think, in essence, it makes them more powerful in that they can think and don't need to be guided by another Walker.

That's GOLD!

The Night King isn't a villain, he's an existential threat. One that requires a united Westeros to defeat. The crux of the show will be whether or not the Great Houses of Westeros can, in fact, unite to save the world. It's an iffy prospect.
