How the hell do they deal with this? I mean the dragons were THE ace in the hole for humans.
interesting question. between fire and ice though, fire still wins. def complicates things a bit though for sure.
this obviously had to happen though. with three dragons, and no ice dragons on the other side, this great war would have fizzled out pretty fast.
so what's the story with Benjen - why is he dead but not dead but not a wight?
In the books he's known as Cold hands. To keep him alive the Children of the Forest inserted dragon glass into him.
"during his fateful ranging beyond the wall, he was attacked by White Walkers, one of whom shoved an ice sword into his gut and left him for dead. He was discovered by the Children of the Forest, who saved him and stopped him from becoming a wight by shoving a piece of dragonglass into his chest."
Benjen isn't Coldhands per se. The show put a lot of characters together to save time. Gendry's show story is mixed in with his book brother Edric Storm. Sansa's show story has elements from her best friend from the book. Daario got some story from my favorite character.saw something else where the CoT told Bran and company that Coldhands (the book version) had been around for 100s of years - IOW Benjen is not Coldhands in the book?
just saw on the twitter that Longclaw's pommel (the wolf) opened it's eyes when Jon came out of the water. The posted a before and after but not sure if it was a photoshop job or really happened.
