What the fuck that was some class tv. Did Ygritte say "You are not nothing jon snow," or "You know nothing Jon Snow," ? Fucking tear dropped from my eye regardless. GoT fight scenes are getting incredible, Jon vs Baldy flowed so well, especially when he rebounded and did three slashes from left to right. Glad I didnt give up from last episode. LotR Helms deep was rubbish compared to this.

Jon is fucked. Unless he meets bran and they form into a giant werewolf or something. I have no idea why they dont just seal the fucking wall even now. Ugh GoT. I feel bad for the daenarys plot after these 2 ones have been so strong, would have been more interesting if someone was constantly vying for her power, where right now people have said she has plot armor.

He felt he was the superior fighter, and wanted to let Jon know that, throwing him round a bit more seemed right at the time.

Also probably because people don't make 100% correct decisions in a fight to the death.
I remember a guy who got his head exploded for similar reasons.

Could be because smashing someone's head on a hard surface is not very efficient.
For more smashing, Jon would need to be in a kneeling position in front of the anvil. Using his back, neck and arms, Jon could resist pretty hard when he knows what is coming.
Or alternatively if Jon just slouched next to the anvil, Styr would have to pick up Jon's head and a good part of Jon's upper body.

It's easier to just kick someone lying on the ground than going to the effort of moving someone's body at high speed into obstacles.

To be fair Jon's head should probably have exploded as well from that one smash.

There was a fair amount of over-the-top gratuitous action nonsense this episode.

why just the Giants fight the white walkers so they don't have to go south. they're pretty big u know

..I am sure Giants are also trying to run away south because while they know they can beat WW they just don't feel like fighting them but would rather leave their home...

The White Walkers seem to be the apex predator of this world, pretty much. Giants may be big, but unless we are told otherwise, so far it seems they don't have any special powers. Wildlings do, as they have wargs, but still... It seems White Walkers have tons of magical powers, and I'd say that is fearsome.

Wait what are the walkers magical powers? so far ive only seen the superhuman strength and turning baby into white walker.
of course the resurrecting zombies thing is assumed but haven't seen it in action. Is there anything else?

Well, so far it seems:

Superhuman strength
Superhuman speed (we saw that in the pilot)
Ability to shatter weapons (maybe certain materials?)
Ability to raise and control the dead, supposedly regardless of species
Ability to turn humans into White Walkers (at least that's what we know.. could be they can turn other species into White Walkers, so long as they are babies)

The point is, we know little about them, and I personally think those powers are just the tip of the iceberg. Granted, they have weaknesses (dragonglass at least), but yep.. I'd say everyone is scared of them for a damn good reason.

I like words.

I think the shattering thing is due to extreme cold. I remember reading that in some article, that the White Walker shattered Sam's sword because he basically made it so cold it reached its breaking point.

One of the nights watch turned into a white walker IIRC, they dont have to be babies? Im pretty sure if you die in the north you HAVE to be burned at this point or risk turning into one.

No, you are confusing White Walkers and wights. The wights are the zombies, the White Walkers are the supernatural creatures who control them. The two Night's Watchmen that we saw in S1 were turned into wights, not White Walkers.

Wight Walkers refers to the actual race of ice beings that raise the dead. The raised dead are then referred to as wights. Don't know why they did it that way but that's how it is. Confusing I know.

This episode was like blackwater except less buildup. It lacked moments like this one:

(That rare moment where you actually sympatize with bitch Cersei and realize that she is just human and a scared mother holding her son in her arms awaiting for impending doom, preparing to pour poison down his throat to give him a mercykill to prevent him from being burned alive by mad-king stannis and his crazy religious zealots)
