fuging wow... This episode might be the best episode in the whole Game of Thrones.  Absolutely amazing.

Jon a Snow sward FTW!

[RealBitsOfPanther]

Tonight's episode was amazing. The scenes with Danny and Tyrion were well done and highly entertaining. Also the scene with Sansa and Theon was great. Jon Snow is that dude.

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

To think there are people in this world that watch Primetime Network TV.

I really wish a season was more than 10 episodes.

Not a book reader here. Can someone explain why When Jon Snow was fighting the WW and picked up that particular sword it didn't break when hit by the WW's weapon like the previous ones did?

​That was his sword, Longclaw, that had been knocked away earlier. It is made of Valyrian steel so I guess it has similar effects as the Dragonglass.

​Was curious about myself.  But since it is Valyrian isnt it as rare as Dragon Glass.  Jamie has a sword like that who else?

Doesn't Brienne have something similar?

Brieen's sword came from Jaimie. It is one of two that came from the Stark sword named Ice.  The other was given to Joffrey.  Valyrian steel is rare and usually held by the heads of houses, being passed down through the generations.

afaik none of that re the battle with the dead was in the books (not that I recall anyway) so this is new territory...

I would assume that either Valyrian Steel has some properties of dragonglass (or it's made with it somehow) or is embued with some sort of magic...  idk?

Awesome episode...  rest of the season will be nuts I suspect.

[Kettle]

that battle was definitely not in the books.  The trip to hardhome was I believe, but without John.  And for the Valyrian steel I have now seen it commented that....

Longclaw is Valyrian steel. Valyrian steel, according to legend, was forged by spells and dragonfire. So it's arguably better than dragonglass!
