Any theories as to what actually allows Valyrian Steel to kill White Walkers? Is the metal echanted, or is it more about the steel being forged in dragon fire?

If the latter, than we can pretty much assume dragons would kill White Walkers, right? Cause then the one walker walked into the burning house and put the fire out around him, it seemed like they were invulnerable to fire. But maybe not dragon fire.

Thoughts?
I thought someone said in the episode that fire is one of things that can kill them? Did I make that up? Once I heard that, I remember thinking, well...guess that means the only way they will truly go down is with Dany's dragons somewhere down the line.
You must distinguish wights (zombies) from White Walkers (which seem to be something else).

Obviously fire will "kill" the wights, as that is the means by which Jon killed the wight that trying to kill LC Mormont.

We don't know about the Walkers yet, but the one in the burning hut at Hardhome did not seem particularly concerned.

I was about to post something similar.

wights - The white walker's army. countless of them. killed by fire.
white walkers - the leaders. only a few. killed by dragonglass and Valyrian steel


Is that right?

Maybe they need dragons to mix the initial alloy.

Interesting. Maybe.


For some reason I thought they burned the bodies?




Or maybe we've finally had an Uncle Benjen sighting after all these years!!!!!

After a considerable drop in viewers last week, ratings are up by 2.5 million viewers this week. Hell of a rebound.
I would bet the drop was due to Memorial Day weekend.

Talk about a crazy cameo if that happens. Will anyone recognize him from season 1?

Pics?

Let me see if I can dig some up where the high school students visiting there on an "outdoor day" (the place doubles as some sort of outdoor learning center) weren't pointing and laughing at us.

I would wager they never try that again - they've always skipped memorial sunday and done a marathon or some concert instead.

Think they lost viewers over the half-way rape scene?

Maybe I live in a bubble but I find that hard to believe.

If a tv show doesn't have the occasional rape, then it's of no use to me.

The blogosphere was nuts. Everyone from hyper liberal feminist politician to Matt Welch were calling for folks to stop watching. Who knows how many did, but I'm sure there was an impact.

I don't understand the controversy. Rape happens in real life, so it happens in fiction as well. What exactly is the problem?

If it had happened in the books, it would've been ok? Dany went through the exact same situation in the first FREAKING EPISODE.

Clearly the left wing fruits weren't watching yet. It was just fanboys.

GoT wasn't as popular in season 1 so now that it has a strong following its an excellent PR opportunity for politicians and any other celebrity striving for attention. If I was in their position I'd do the same but secretly watch the show anyway.

I loved this parallel. Not sure if intentional or if I've just seen the trilogy too many times.

kind of a stupid thing, but I defunitely would have liked Jon killing the WW a lot more without them reminding us about Valraryan Steel beforehand.

They are being so heavy-handed with the 'Ollie will kill Jon' foreshadowing, that I'm wondering if it will actually happen. A couple episodes ago, I was pretty sure some Nights Watch betrayal was headed his way, now it's almost too obvious.

They're trying to sucker us in, but the "tough decision" that Ollie will have to make is to defend Jon when Thorne and the men back at Castle Black want to mutiny.

What would be crazier is if he shows back up as a white walker. Instead of killing him they captured him and the walker king turned him like that baby last season or season before.

It showed a clip of Jon getting the sword from commander mormont, why else would they bring up that scene if his sword wasn't going to be a key part in coming events.

I have been wanting to avoid watching the recap beginning part but haven't been able to stop myself.

It's kind of hard to miss, b/c right before the recap is the always critical ratings screen that shows if a man should expect nudity or not.

Ok, rewatched. Awesome episode. The one thing that really weirded me out both times....

The rudder-man on Jon's boat. I thought he had to be a wight the first time. But he wasn't. So why on earth didn't he move? Was he a camera disguised as a person? Seriously confused.

I thought the exact same thing. Was waiting for him to fling off his hood to reveal his true identity as a wight or a flasher or whatever
