that big crossbow thing with a dragon glass tip will do for the undead dragon
Poll: Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]
It makes sense in the books where we don't literally see his face and where these conversations actually play out between people who spend time with him. Obviously as discussed it's ridiculous to say "he never goes to the loo" on the TV show because, from memory, we've once seen Tywin having a dump and once seen someone having a wee over the side of the wall, so that's hardly a useful sample.
Is Cersei the only one who has the Ballistae/Scorpions? If so, then I bet she'll lose them somehow in her scheming, i.e. Dany will take them out, and then it'll be dragon vs dragon.

Book versus tv, in book he is headless, or that is aluded to, on the tv he is clearly not
He removes his helmet when he is going to have fun time with the septa for cersies revenge, his head is there but in stages of rottenness.
Yeah, people need to remember this is about the TV show, it doesn't follow the book exactly and you can't necessarily take things from the book and use them as 'facts' re: the TV show. And AFAIK you're supposed to put stuff in spoiler tags in this thread if talking about the book anyway.

So question is, can fire damage a drogon or not...... hmm
That needed confirming? Or did people really think a dragon could melt through a giant ice wall with... ice?

There goes my vision...
Jon and Danny's combined armies at winterfell, Jon and Danny stood on the city wall looking down at countless thousands of undead, they start chanting quietly, slowly building up volume add the night king flies his dragon towards them ... "Ice, ice baby"
I said from the first moment I saw it that I felt it was super hot flame, as blue generally burns hotter than red/yellow/orange.
Have a few friends who believe it's magic fire/ice fire and somehow because it's so cold, it shatters the wall
In fact there's a few folks on here to posted the same, i'm sure.

It's just blue to differentiate it from the regular non-wight dragons, I mean seriously, the amount some of you guys read into things...I said from the first moment I saw it that I felt it was super hot flame, as blue generally burns hotter than red/yellow/orange.

Yeah, i'm such an idiot for using real world science to think that the blue flame is hotter, it's human nature to apply existing knowledge to what you see.
And before some smart arse says it, I know blue flame isn't always hotter, just generally the closer to white you get, the hotter the flame is.
EDIT: It's magical too
sorry for the scum link:"It’s certainly still fire — it has the ability to burn the Wall and melt snow but it’s going to have a different kind of magical quality to it, because it’s coming from an undead dragon."

To be fair, your applying real world science to an undead dragon...
I didn't say an idiot, but certainly misguided if you think real life science applies to a magical fantasy dragon. Dragonfire (yellow) is already the hottest fire existing in the GOT universe, it melts solid stone easily, so being yellow or blue clearly makes zero difference in terms of temperatures. It's just to show it's from wight dragon, same as the eye turning blue.Yeah, i'm such an idiot for using real world science to think that the blue flame is hotter, it's human nature to apply existing knowledge to what you see.

Ok sure, whatever makes it more fun for you!
You're getting the wrong end of the stick. I understand there it magic/dragons/undead/etc but there is also a rule set and until i'm shown otherwise, I assume the science of any fantasy world/show is the same as the one i'm living in.
For example, I know they are human, they breathe oxygen, they eat and drink. I don't need to be shown this. I know this to be true because nothing has been shown to show that it's different to us.
So why wouldn't I assume that blue flame is hotter than red/yellow when that's the general reality of fire?
The again, you're the guy who said in absolute terms that the Mountain is dead/resurrected when there has been nothing at all in the show to prove this so I know this will just go around in circles.
