Was hoping that woman would be a a regular face. Guess not.

im still waiting to see wtf bran stark is up to or did I miss somethink last season I was sure they were passed the wall?

Someone who read the books said he isn't going to be in this season of the show, because we won't come back to his arc until the next book is released, for the official word. But, HBO is already ahead of the books now, so they are on their own way of trying to make it all work, but some stuff won't be the same as the eventual and actual book stories.

reminded me of the walking dead

maybe they will make it to like a group of 10 or 12 and make groups and call them walkers

a mid evil walking dead show... seems pretty cool no guns or anything

So does dragon glass only shatter the main guys and for the rest it's just a normal sword

Valyrian Steel and/or dragon glass shatters the Others because they are made of Ice. The wights are reanimated corpses still made up of bone/flesh but driven by dark magic. So dragon glass and valyrian steel and fire kill them (or basically kill the magic driving them).

Essentially the others magic is all driven by Ice, whereas any fire driven objects are their weakness. Dragonglass is created using dragon's fire (or lava depending on which maester u ask) and so is valyrian steel, so fire is built into them.

Dragonglass is obsidian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsidian) that just happens to have a magical properties against White Walkers. Aside from that, no one in Westeros would think anything special of it.

Dragonsteel (valyrian steel, Jon's sword) was forged with magical power to kill walkers. But even for someone who doesn't know/believe about its magical properties, it is still a very significant metal. A cynic would believe it to simply be an advanced alloy, as strong as any other metal but lighter, making it an awesome weapon. So it's basically magical titanium.

titanium is actually a terrible metal to forge weapons with though

All of the cynical doubts about the origin of Dragonsteel are based in the doubt of Dragon's existence. Such as Jorah who says "that was 300 years ago Khaleesi, who knows what really happened" (paraphrased).

Since we know dragons are real there is no longer any doubt that dragon steel was created either with the cooperation of dragons or by dragon masters who found a way to magically replicate their fire.

Also Dragonglass is essentially obsidian in that i is made by lava, and dragon's evolved from fire wyrms. So both dragons and dragon glass have their origins in the heat from the center of Planetos.

same here, i was disappointed when she didnt make it.
