If the White Walkers made it it would have been when they were still slaves to the Children. I doubt they would have made it magically prevent them from crossing it if they built it of their own volition.

Am I mixing up theories with facts, but didn't one of the sidestories or complimentaries material said that the Children of the Forest basically exploded the wall into existence (kinda like what they did with the stepstones, but upwards)? If that's true then it's completely feasible that the initial wall wasn't that big but then Bran the builder + giants and then generations of 30 something castles full of bored people piling up a block a day got it up to it's current height. After all there's like 1500 years between the Long Night and current events when the Night Watch became lame.

Officially there's some 8000 years between the long night and aegons conquest. We never learn anything about the construction of the wall. We know that the children blew up the land bridge between dorne and essos which suggests that they have some powerful terraforming capabilities but it's all speculative cause gurm won't write. I think it was built by the walkers as a part of a pact, I don't believe that the last hero and his 12 companions could actually defeat the Walker forces.

I never understood why most of the conflicts both in the story and in sidestories spin around Westeros when the world looks like this:  gently caress sake you have a lot continent of nothing to rule, and if the Dothraki prove to be too much of a trouble just cross the mountains and you have more continent to take over and rule. Like look at all that bunch of interesting places like City of the Winged Men or The Five Forts. I want to know what is happening over there.

The 5 Forts would be cool though, they're effectively the far East not-Chinese version of the Wall.

So, Kelly C lost her entire navy and now she got a dotraki horde suck in a tiny island to die of hunger? Very underwhelming, but not undeserved: her plan to "well lets just siege KL and wait, but without using dragons opr the huge rear end army I brought here" is the dumbest thing

You know what the best part of the show is now? The scene transitions, and we've gotten two amazing Sam ones so far. Firstly the one where it cuts from him shovelling out poo poo to him eating, and secondly the one with him performing surgery which then cuts to guys eating in the pub. So yeah, as loving dour and boring this show can get sometimes, at least the editors are sharing a laugh with us. Its not as good as the jokes about Theon but bless them for trying.

That final action sequence was cringeworthy at times, and the sex scene was very HBO in that it kept going far longer than it needed to. But I couldn't help feeling good when Tyrion put in a good word for Jon. Look forward to seeing them together again. Also love the (not very subtle at all) hints that Danybis getting them Mad-King genes going.
