Games Of Thrones Season 7: What 'Beyond The Wall' Really Means

8. They Have A Wight

The whole point of the Suicide Squad mission up beyond the Wall was to come back with a wight to prove to Cersei that the Long Night is indeed coming. Remarkably, despite the fact that they had absolutely no exit plan (which is the stupidest thing possible as they SOMEHOW believed they had a chance to get away with a wight without being swarmed by the rest of the army) they succeeded.

Sure, they ended up having to get an assist from Dany at a grave cost, but they now have the means to prove to Cersei that wights and White Walkers are a genuine thing.

This all begs the question: what sort of range does the blu-tooth connection between the White Walkers and the wights actually stretch? My mobile phone can barely cope with a thick wall, and we've already seen that wights die as soon as the Walkers that turned them die, so there must be a rule that governs how far they remain animated away from their hellish masters.

Also, let's be perfectly honest though, by the time the White Walkers get further South and start attacking, the living armies are going to have to have developed more long-range weapons
