How were Team Alive supposed to burn these guys when they were all dead?
You mean, so Jon could have been surrounded by piles of burning corpses instead, while he was also wearing highly inflammable clothes?:dubious:
Heh. Fast moving thread smdh
Sure, you’ve got all the necessary material.
… all the wight stuff…
Clarke said on TV the other day episode 5 is going to be very big so I assume that’s the battle vs. Cersei and friends.

You could win the “Worst jokes of all time” thread with this one
I remember seeing that and thinking, “Yeah, that’s a problem!” and then being a little irritated how the issue was blown off.
I’m only now just getting it–it was an overly-optimistic point for her to make, considering long term survival by that point hardly depended on the food supply. I’m slow.
Not sure that’s right.
- They didn’t know exactly when the dead were going to arrive and, given that their battle plan involved a) standing in the cold for hours followed by b) manically high intensity running and fighting, even a couple of days of half-rations are going to make a difference to people’s ability to ward off that 100th wight. If the NK had taken a week longer to reach KL the Dothraki would have been eating their horses.*
- Having a plan for what happens after you win is usually a good idea. They already knew that their victory would leave them with shit to do re KL and Cersei. Armies march on their stomachs and it’s not at all optimistic for Sansa to be worried about the food/stomach ratio.
The point was ignored because it had to be. They don’t have access to more food. But just because you can’t solve a problem doesn’t mean you shouldn’t note its existence.
*Admittedly, that would have increased their lifespan, in that it takes longer to run to a pointless death than it does to charge at it on horseback, but still.
We don’t know if regular walkers have anti-dragon capabilities. We only know that the Night King does. If they don’t, then preventing a draconic attack on such valuable strategic assets by conjuring a storm was entirely justified.
Given that the rest of them are all armed with exactly the same kind of ice-spear used to bring down Viserion, I think it’s a reasonable inference that they do. (We don’t have to be informed of every single detail to draw inferences based on what they show us.)
All good points.
Nice scenario!
Fortunately, there are still plenty of pretzels.
Ha! Thanks for those.
Agreed.
During a major algae bloom.
Well, obviously, they’re all in the NBA now.
I was disappointed that after the NK rose the freshly dead, that nobody had the horror of cutting down their reanimated friend.
Agreed. The timeline would have to be rejiggered, but I’d have liked to have seen zombie Jorah go after Daenerys. Or a blue-eyed Edd confronting Jon.
The little bear was up and ready to rock. That would have been the best. Who’d be willing to chop up a heroic little girl?
How they missed the chance to have dead Catelyn Stark face Sansa is beyond me.
That would have been great. Or Robb facing any of the Starks–he has a wolf head now.
This is to prevent their later reanimation? Why not stick everyone with a dragon glass splinter?
Can anyone explain how Arya with her powers, can’t simply infiltrate KL, kill Cersei, take her face, and end this thing? What limits does she have, given the evidence of the past episode, never mind nearly entirely wiping out the Freys?
Actually, that might not be a bad idea if just the touch of dragonglass will kill a wight. There would be plenty of small shards around that wouldn’t be any good for weapons but you could slip under the skin.
Too bad you weren’t there.
These are both good ideas!
So far I don’t know why they are hiding the episode names, they are not spoilery in any way.
