Your post saying you knew about Dragon Glass came after (or maybe during) my post. You first post made it sound like you didn't and with so any folks in here not remembering most of what happened in previous episodes, I figured examples were needed.
My reply was dooshy too, but your first reply was this:
The guy asking about warging is obviously fishing, but maybe he is really just that dense. I know all about all of dragon glass and where it has been in the show. I did forget Sam gave Bran some, but now I do recall that part. It is hard to remember every single scene in the show. That said, Meera just grabbed a spear that killed the white walker. I am 99.9% certain that I don't recall them making any spears on their journey (I could be wrong), so I was legitimately wondering if there was something more to it. For instance, are the white walkers vulnerable to anything when in the presence of the raven guy/tree? We never saw the children with spears, they just used the fireballs. It was likely just a spear with dragon glass and that's that, but I wanted to ask. I probably worded it wrong, but oh well. I haven't ever posted anything like "where did that teenager in the tree come from, I don't recall him in the first few seasons and why do his eyes turn white?"
As someone who feels they live a pretty purpose-less life only for their own self-satisfaction, that scene brought tears to my eyes.
It never really shows them breaking through the door, so who knows how long Hodor held out for. And why didn't the children lady just throw that ball, instead of the self sacrifice bomb, that slowed them down for like 1 second, maybe. And why not just hook the sled up to the direwolf and have the direwolf get them the fck out of there.
I agree this was a bit weak. I think the answer lies in the army of the dead. They have no brains on their own. They are told to kill, they kill what they see. They have no ability to think on their own, to choose to track (or have the ability to track). The White Walkers are still some distance away in the mound and maybe at this point either are writing Bran off as not a thread now that the thee eyed crow is dead or were somehow otherwise impacted by the death of one of their number.
The WW's objective appeared to be to get the three eyed Raven. They didn't seem particularly interested in tracking Meera and Bran, and the zombies appear to lack agency. Maybe getting out of sight was enough.
I was thinking about the number of white walkers as well. Didn't the king create new walkers (not the zombie-like wights) with the babies from Gilly's girls. They seemed to be producing kids quite a bit for a long time, so it seems like there are far less white walkers than I figured there would be. Is there a padawan training center we don't know about? Do we know enough about them to have any clue on this?
My question on the children of the forest was why not stockpile a whole lot more of those balls to chuck? I think the holding the ball was about getting as many concentrated in one area to blow as many up as possible rather than just the first rank.
Most likely. Remember the shot of a dragon's shadow over King's Landing in his previous 'flash' visions.
If only there was a way that we could find out what it accomplished, say maybe next Sunday night, that would be cool

That's an understatement. Everything he utters has a plan to it. She has no idea what she is doing and how he just played her. I have no idea what he actually plans, but I know he played her.
It bothers me that he is the wizard on these commericals
Yah, the Direwolf made the same self sacrifice, but should have just hooked up to him before he threw himself at the wights.
Mole's Town. Basically a truck stop along the Kingsroad on the way to Castle Black.
Hoping Bran comes to next episode and wargs into Hodor to beat some ###. Love me some Hodor-tank.
Yes, that can be argued. Still main plots that haven't really changed much from the start of the season: Dany, Arya, King's Landing.
Agree. Her reactions to the play showed that she was failing to let go of Arya for the assignment she was given.
So why was a hoard of them chasing those 3 through the tunnel? Why were they trying to get out of the Door?
Zombies don't think. They kill. They see things to kill, they chase things to kill. This really isn't that difficult.
Viking mythology. Refers to a giant wolf named Fenrir who bit off the hand of their war god. Tolkien borrowed the word in Lord of the Rings. The big wolves the goblins rode were wargs.
There's a difference between attacking someone right in front of you versus heading off into the wilderness looking for targets you can't see. It doesn't seem like the undead do the latter without direction.
