What are the ways to kill a standard white walker zombie?

Fire (from AGoT)
Dragonglass (from ASoS)? If it kills an Other, then I'm guessing it will kill a standard walker.
Valyrian steel?
Brain shot?

Any other ways?



For some reason, I'm thinking that Dragonglass can kill the Others (ie: White Walkers) but not the Wights (ie: humans that were turned by the Others). Not sure if I'm remembering that right though.

I do think that the Wights can be at least dismembered by ordinary means because I think they've had like hands of one or more of them before that they kept or sent to places.

Just finished my reread of the series (started in January finally done) and man did I miss some stuff the first time.

The writing really took a nosedive after ASoS, but it was still enjoyable. Really hope they streamline all the Brienne in the Riverlands and Dany in Mereen bullshite when they get that far in the show.

Also, the mention of kitty Balerion in the epilogue just before Varys appears and gives his great speech about kingship to Kevan, great stuff.

Sam tries to kill a wight with dragonglass in the series and the blade breaks. It happens during the scene where he is introduced to Coldhands I believe. So yeah, just fire can kill the wights.

Well I think it snaps on the armor the wight was wearing, but fire would be the better choice

You are correct on the armor thing I believe as far as it breaking on the armor, but I believe he stabbed wight Paul many times. But I doubt Martin has them killable by dragonglass anyway. If a simple jab with dragonglass could take out the wights it would make Dany's dragons a fairly moot point.

How much of a dork am I that I saw a chick flick with my favorite Lannister the night before its official release date??? BTW Tywin apparently isn't the only Lannister that can shite gold, for those of you whose women are dragging you to see it this weekend; and Kate Upton really does have a weird shaped arse.

You're looking at the wrong part

You don't go to a place famous for burgers and get a hotdog.

There's a scene in the movie when the women give Nikolaj laxatives at a restaurant and they show him in the bathroom.

Is there a list of current military strength of the remaining players somewhere? I've looked and couldn't find anything concrete.

Gonna be tough to find real numbers. Yus have to think Dorne and the Vale are pretty high.

The Reach under Mace/Randyll
The Rock under ?
Iron Islands under Euron
Freys(soon to be devastated)

Low/Medium strength:
The wildlings
The North

Devastated:
The river lands
The crown lands


Wild Cards:
Golden Company

Interesting quote from Martin in his Rolling Stone interview

quote:

In the books – and I make no promises, because I have two more books to write, and I may have more surprises to reveal – the conclusion that the careful reader draws is that Joffrey was killed by the Queen of Thorns, using poison from Sansa's hairnet, so that if anyone did think it was poison, then Sansa would be blamed for it. Sansa had certainly good reason for it.


So maybe there will be a twist there?

you're being a little optimistic don't you think

He does say in the interview that with the surge in popularity for the books he really wants to get the next books right.

So he wasnt trying to get AFFC and ADWD right? Makes since considering they lumbered along shittily compared to the first 3 books.
