True, but I imagine he's thinking of Hardhome when they Jon and Co. are rowing off and the white walkers stop at the shore line like they couldn't do water.

 

Oh, is that wrong? I was also thinking of when they are on the little ice flow/rock or whatever last season and all the wights are standing around until they realize that the ice is hardened over.

 

It might not be wrong. I was just thinking that someone had to go into the water to tie chains around the dragon.

 

Yeah, that's a good point.

 

It seems more like they don't do large bodies of water as opposed to any contact with water harming them or something like that, but I'm no expert. Moats seem like a great idea, as does trapping them somewhere low and flooding them - but these ideas require a whole lot of planning and engineering realistically. They're not really last minute prep for crazy battle ideas.

 

The wights can't swim, or water drowns them, or something. It's been established that deep water deters the wights. I don't think a moat would be deep enough to keep them away though. Fire trench is the better call for sure.

 

Fire trench is much easier and quicker to do as well. It seems like even if you could build a moat that would deter them it would need to be massive and deep, more like a huge lake around your castle .

 

Bran should have gone to the middle of Wet 'n Wild water park instead. They would have a much better advantage there.

 

Yeah it would have to be a moat as wide and deep as that lake last season. Would take way more time to put that together than they had.

Also we don't really know how water affects the White Walkers, if at all. At least I don't think we have. I doubt that they're affected by it.

 

Have any of the Bran=Night King people talked about the living's plan? Would Bran be setting a trap to help NK if that's true?

 

Maybe wights fear water because they're literally rotting corpses and bodies of water will like cause them to fall apart lol

 

Lol yeah, after a quick google I'm seeing people discussing the salt content in the waters in different areas of Westeros and how it could hurt them, haha

 

Should have been nicer to Meera, Bran, and maybe she'd help you all make your stand at Moat Cailin instead

 

I guess the goal is to prevent the army of the dead from getting that far south. Also Winterfell is a more meaningful location from a storytelling standpoint obviously. But yeah Moat Cailin definitely would be a better place to make their last stand from a tactics perspective lol

 

There must be a pile of "dead" walkers underwater where the dragon was then.

 

One of the White Walkers probably attached the chains to Viserion's corpse, and then the wights pulled it out.

 

This but cans of dragonglass attached!

 

It’s beautiful.

 

Why couldn’t he just reanimate the dragon while it was still under water

 

Has to touch it

 

Ohhh so it’s more like a white walker and not a wight. Cuz he just raised his arms and all those wights came to life

 

Well, no, it's really more of a White Flyer ya know

 

Too appropriate.
