Stannis controls an island full of obsidian and Dany (possibly in the future) can aerially bombard large swaths of land with fire, in an ideal world they could team up to fight off the zombie hordes.

Realistically they should end up getting stabbed in the back because of petty politicking and then the Lich King wins

But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?


The silence right after Thenn Diesel ordered the gates shut was amazing.

That episode was awesome.

Edit: Also the bone avalanche was really cool. Glad the show is paying more attention to the whole unstoppable undead army thing.

Man, the moment they "previously on"ed that Jon's sword was Valyrian Steel I knew he'd end up fighting a White Walker this episode. Did not expect poo poo to go down on that scale though, holy poo poo.

Fire beats Ice, and Dragonfire-forged weapons beat Ice Wizards.

So there's two classes of undead here.

1: The White Walkers. Rider on a pale horse. The generals and minds of the undead horde. The creepy blue-skinned, white-haired guys with weird magic powers. And:
2. Wights. Formerly living beings, resurrected by a White Walker. Could be a human, could be something else.

They have different but similar weaknesses. Wights are standard undead, and are 'killed' by anything that would kill a normal undead thing: mangling, decapitation, possibly damage to the brain, so on and so forth. They've also displayed a particular vulnerability to fire. That said, if they aren't completely torn apart after 'dying' a second time, there's really nothing stopping a Walker from raising them again. The White Walkers, meanwhile, are (as far as we've seen) next to invulnerable to anything save dragon glass and Valyrian steel, and any weapons not made of these materials shatter when used against them. Once a Walker dies, they die for keeps and can't be resurrected.

That might be in the top 3 episodes of the show we've seen. Wow.

I am so glad I have gone into this entire season knowing no spoilers and not a single thing but the episode title and description as I click on it to watch on hbogo. When I saw this was called "Hardhome" I knew some serious poo poo was going to go down, because I've read the books and... That is just an ill-omened name. But I had entirely forgotten about Hardhome by the midway point and then OMYFUCKINGGOD. That was so goddamn amazing and unexpected and out of the blue and a *fantastic* setpiece. I was expecting maybe an episode about Cersei's punishment. Or fearing a melange of Dornish and Meereneese politics with some interminably awful Missandei/Grey Worm action thrown in. Holy poo poo was this better than that.

With how we kept seeing Cersei but not Margery or, uh, Margery's Brother (I forget his name), I want to think they just confessed and the High Sparrow was just like "yeah okay get out of here and do penance or whatever". That's not what will happen obviously because this is Game of Thrones but it'd be hilarious to see Cersei taken to trial and she just passes them by getting outsmugged.
