so why was the wight that they had so hard to kill when the rest weren't? Found it odd that it was like the wight from season one and the books


Recommended Posts

At hardhome and at the adventure north of the wall to capture a wight the dead could be killed far easier. We saw tormound at hardhome throw that sword he had and it killed a wight and alot of stuff like that. At the wight hunt just last episode they were killed easily. The hound used that hammer to kill them just by hitting them it the chest and some other did it with regular swords and such. So why was this wight able to be cut in half,impaled on a dragon spike,had it's arm cut off and still lived. To top it off the limbs that were cut off still moved. Don't get me wrong I think the dead are better that way but why did it change all of a sudden? Was I the only one who noticed it

If you dismember a wight with regular swords, the limbs still move and they don't die. (Killed by fire and dragonglass) But the dismembered parts aren't as dangerous, so maybe that's why nobody paid attention to the parts that were badly damaged by the warhammer.

No, actually you missed something. The hammer was inefective. He hit with that hammer the same wight, whom he previously hit with the stone, and that wight fell on the ice, but then it got up, and went again to attack the Hound. And when Hound saw this, he took out dragonglass dagger, and from then on fought with it.

They used regular swords to cut or dismember wights. Because daggers are short, and some wights have swords. So fighting against them with only a closerange weapon, like daggers, would be a suicide.

During the wight hunt, Beric and Thoros had castle steel swords that were lit on fire through blood magic, Jon had Longclaw, a valyrian steel, aka dragonsteel, blade, everybody else was using secondary weapons made of obsidian/dragonglass (the spears the redshirts had may have also been obsidian/dragonglass).

At the Dragonpit, the Hound cut the wight up with a castle steel sword. Jon set the wight's detached hand on fire, and then stabbed the upper torso with an absurdly sized and shaped obsidian/dragonglass blade.

 

 

Hardhome is probably a continuity error, or VFX failure, if at Hardhome the wights hit with normal weapons didn't keep moving, even if they were dismembered. Haven't rewatched Hardhome lately, so can't really say.

Bad writting/plot demanded it. The funner response is the nights king is just toying with evreyyone. Hell it appears he know the group was coming, let them killsome of his men, surrounded them, could of killed them at any time but choose not to. Easily killed a far away dragon, let the other bigger dragon go, than he even let jon escape. It like he thinks its a joke that mare humans are going against him and do not even warrant being taken seriously.

There's an awfully glaring part where Jon stabs a wight trying to break through the wall with Longclaw and dude keeps on a' kicking, that bit really annoyed me.

During the wight hunt, they were somehow prepared. This image shows this well:

Except that at the beginning of the episode Tormund has a war axe (steel or copper) and suddenly the axe disappears and is replaced by the bizarre dragonglass haleberd. This is so amateurish…

They all had their normal primary weapons, and dragonglass secondaries. Tormund switched to his secondary.

The guys with spears might have had dragonglass spears as primary weapons though.

If you guys want a continuity error, how about the dragons not just firebombing the few white walkers standing alone at the top of the hill clearly marking themselves.

How is that a continuity error? Daenerys and the dragons have never seen a White Walker before. They don't know what the White Walkers look like, what they are capable of and are not predisposed to attack them on sight.
Their sole focus was clearing the area around the survivors of wights and then getting the hell out of there.
For all we know, Daenerys probably didn't even notice the White Walkers until the Nightking killed Viserion, and at that point it was too late to attack them, so fleeing was the right call. Good thing too, because it seems that the Nightking (unsure about the WW's) are immune to both fire and dragonfire.

Continuity was probably the wrong word, fair enough.  But completely illogical still applies.  When your a thousand feet up on a dragon you'd have an excellent view, and having seen them before or not, that was a completely missed opportunity.  It would not have been hard to distinguish the leader.

We have absolutely no knowledge that WW's/night king are immune to dragonfire.

When you're a thousand feet up on a dragon you won't see the difference between a horse and a handful of wights, and remember that she wasn't actively looking for them either, her focus was on the survivors. Besides, she had no idea that the wights would all disintegrate if the WW's died. In those 10 seconds it would've taken her to aim for the WW's to possibly kill them, Jon and his crew would've been swarmed and killed. She came to their rescue at the very last second.

We do, we see him walk over dragonfire in this very episode, and just like regular fire it dissipates when he gets close.
