It's just really fucking stupid if you put any amount of thought into what happened.
Like, the Night King can apparently throw spears like javlin missiles, but he literally just watches the dude from across a small bond for days without chucking anything at them.
But wait, his plan was to lure Dany out there to get her dragon you say? They had to be alive for that to happen? Then why the fuck did he have his entire fucking horde swarm them the second he could?
Why did we have to have this ridiculous scene where Gendry ran days worth of blizzard terrain in hours to call for help when we could have just had Bran see them in need of help and use his powers to alert Dany?
Then you have the stuff that makes it even dumber after episode 7? Why did Beric and Tormund have to live through that horde rush if they were just going to possibly die offscreen when the wall fell?
Shit was dumb
1) Because there'd be nothing stopping them from just dipping out and not needing rescue? Haha. Can't steal a dragon if he doesn't need to show up.
2) Has it been established that Bran even knew where they were or what they were doing? He's not omnipotent. Close though, I think?
3) I don't think they dead they weren't on the part of the wall that fell down? Who knows. ---
