That chilling final scene ? Great story telling. Couldn't help wondering where that Ice Lord conjured up 400m of high grade steel chain link from within the icy wastelands. Perhaps screwfix has a branch north of the wall.

I'm not having that epsiode, no sirree. Utterly unrealistic. Look, if you're fannying around in sub-zero temperatures, no food or sleep for days, then you fight a battle, if you go swimming in a frozen lake, crawl out and get on a horse you're going to die of hypothermia in a bout 3 minutes.
The bounds of my credule have been overstretched.
For the second week in a row I have switched over and found myself watching the final 20 minutes of this program, and yes the boning of the blonde chick by the injured man was what I was expecting and more than a little let down when it did not occur.
Meanwhile – dragons, characters who look like the bad fúckers from the third Lord of The Rings movie, dead dragons being pulled with what look like remarkable ease from icy waters, then becoming alive again.
And I not 7S querying from where they got the chains?
Hmmmmm.
What you will have missed from the context there is that the dragon did not come alive again, as such, as become undead. There is a subtle distinction. These characters who look like the bad fúckers from the third Lord of The Rings movie are a zombie army of undead, or wights as they are known, and their corpses are animated by a cadre of generals known as the White Walkers, lead by a supreme badass known as the Night King (the dude on the horse dispensing the anti-dragon artillery).
When a corpse is re-animated as a wight in control of the White Walkers, it's eyes open with an icy blue glow and the feckers are incredibly hard to kill and keep being brought back to life anyway. Losing one of her three dragons was bad enough for Daenarys, the Khaleesi, Queen of the Andals and Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms known to some as 'the blonde chick', but having one now under the control of the enemy and practically invincible is a Big Problem.
The weakness of this zombie army, as we discovered earlier in last night's epidode, is that if you take out a White Walker (only possible with special weapons) this may cause the wights under their control to basically dissolve. Maybe if you take out the Night King himself, the whole lot will melt, as you will remember that Sauron's army did in LOTR when the source of his power was destroyed. So basically they should hire a couple of hobbits to sneak up and stab him with a dragonglass blade.
In case you were wondering when nine blokes (nine, eh, that might be familiar) were taking on a mighty fùcking army, their plan (bit mad really) was to go beyond The Wall (Scotland basically, but worse) and bring back a wight alive in order to persude all the human factions warring among themselves that they should unite against the common enemy. As plans go it paid a high price.
Hope this helps :thumbup:
I had assumed the former. A new challenge for the CGI team. The latter would seem a bit overpowered, surely. Getting to recruit all the enemy dead in addition to having all your own losses back after every battle is a seriously unlevel playing field as it is, without nicking half their players during the action as well.
