I don’t think it’s that they can’t be in water or touch it, they just simply can’t get out of it. They’re reanimated corpses with likely no ability to float or swim. They had to wait until the ice froze to get at Jon and co. last season so they all didn’t just wind up piling up in the bottom of the lake. NK sending a few to their death deaths to wrap a rope around the dragon’s neck doesn’t seem to crazy in theory to me. He can control them, but he doesn’t move them with his mind.

More meaningful yes, but also its location was easier for all of the northern families to meet at. The largest army, which is Khaleesi’s, went straight there with Jon for obvious reasons. With the amount of time they had, makes sense for everyone that could to come to them. Winterfell I believe holds the reputation of being unpenetrated until Jon took it back.

 

Watching mindless zombies do the complicated work of getting a massive chain around a dead dragon underwater would be as amazing for a mini episode as watching them interpret the NK’s artistic ideas over and over again.

 

Wait, why? At Hardhome he just raised his hands and everyone instantly rose

 

Dragons are special, has to touch them

 

Some of that looked new to me.

 

Ah the dragons in the top left! First time I've noticed that

 

White Walkers are technically not dead, just turned into essentially a mythical being/force created by the Night King. they have powers like their strength, sight, and also the ability to raise the dead (create wights). They're also unharmed by regular fire and steel. Viserion being dead beforehand means he is just simply a reanimated beast corpse. Not an "ice dragon" per se, just a blue-tinted undead one.

 

He’s a Blue Eyes Wight Dragon.



The walkers can’t “swim” either, right? Not just the wights?

 

I believe so, but since the White Walkers are involved with the seasons being out of wack, I'd imagine eventually they could just freeze the oceans to cross.

 

I didn’t think they could swim either. But they somehow jumped out of the frozen lake in Beyond The Wall.

 

shot of the NK heavy frustration sighing as they pull only the chain back out of the water while trial and error-ing how to keep it secured

 

Please, I need it.

 

This post was quoted twice and nobody commented on this we have truly failed as a thread here everyone

 

I was so pleased with myself the first time I thought of it but of course the internet beat me there by years. Lol. I do think of it every time I see him and laugh.

 

Mod lock this thread, archive it

 

put it in the crypts where it will be safe

 

the crypts, and I cannot stress this enough, are 100% safe

 

It's gonna be funny when nothing happens in tbhe crypts next week lol

 

Sam Jr is down there and I feel like he has plot armor so maybe they will actually be safe

 

I don’t think they raise the dead down there (though it would be cool)

I think the WW find a way in through those super secret passages that we’ve heard about throughout the show.

Regardless, super safe.

 

They'll be safe once the dragon emerges from below the crypts.

 

Going to another GoT trivia tomorrow night, this time the prize is 200 bucks. I need to study!

 

That's what I'm assuming too. They get in the crypts as sort of a sneak attack strategy. As much as I've talked about that theory and as cool as it would be to see some Starks reanimated, I'm hoping the coming episodes have as few crossover elements with The Walking Dead as possible (a la someone seeing someone they know as a zombie and freaking out/being unable to "kill" them).

Edit: And if the "theory" is correct that The Night King is a Stark from long ago, he might have known about the hidden passage anyway.

 

Isn't Tyrion going to be down there? I may be wrong but wasn't there was a big conversation where Daenerys specifically wanted him down there as she needs his mind to survive. Not sure if I heard this wrong or forgot another conversation where he changed his mind.
