Same here. He just looked annoyed to me, not hurt. Like a human being hit by darts or stung by bees.

Yeah. Fire kills wights (as does hacking them into 1,000,000 pieces), but only dragon glass/dragon steel can kill a WW (as far as we know).
Maybe fire some dragonglass arrows at the WW as they approach?
There's not enough of it available to do this effectively.

Maybe Bran can find an old stash of the Children's. Dragonstone has a bunch of it too, doesn't it?

I think Dragonstone has a bunch, yeah. But at the wall they pretty much just have the cache that Sam found.

Caring about the pit scene was a little hard after a scene where a father burns his daughter. :? Fuck that shit, seriously. Building their relationship and furthering Davos and her relationship just so that her burning is more shocking. And then a cut to witty banter in Mereen.

Yeah, that transition was a bit jarring. I also didn't really care for the quick cut to the one Sand Snake calling the other a "slut". Didn't seem necessary at all.

Can't the WWs actually put fire out? Kinda looked like it.

As always, if you're a show-watcher only and you don't want to be spoiled, be sure to avoid basically everything this week. I've seen some people "guess" some upcoming plot points, but methinks they're thinly-veiled spoilers.

What is the pedophile knight's connection to Aya, is he on her list of 5 (I don't think so?), and what is his name?
