was a class episode but few things I dont get
- why didn't Stanis light his sword to stop them all freezing or at least help Keep them warm through the night You mean Baric - Stannis is dead! But regardless, a burning sword alone wouldn't have provided enough heat and there was nothing around them to burn to make a fire.
- why didn't they use the hammer to keep smashing the ice as it froze I wondered that, especially after the hound threw the rock and the wights charged.
-why didn't the night king use the magic spheres he had all along instead of standing around waiting for the ice to freeze Not sure what spheres you mean
- don't the white walkers have the ability to freeze anything they touch? Why not touch the water surrounding the guys Yes, you're right. It's another example of the bad writing that has plagued the series since they overtook the books; plot holes, inconsistencies, forgetting things, etc.
- the wight giants we seen in an earlier episode were no were to be seen, I also only seen two white walkers(?) is this the whole army. If not where are they Another good point. Maybe one of the White Walkers led them elsewhere?
- Benjen said in an earlier episide the wights can't pass the wall due to ancient spells (he cant) I wonder how that will pan out for the dragon who I'm assuming is going to wreak havoc on winterfell I think that Bran will have broken that spell because he carries the 'mark'. Remember last season when he got touched by the Night King in one of his visions, which allowed the White Walkers to break the spell at the Three Eyed Raven's cave and get in? I'm guessing it will do the same to the Wall.
