It hasn't.
But just speaking from size, Valyrian Steel swords are full swords, while dragonglass is just small chunks, unless they smith it but we don't know if that's possible yet. No one knows how to forge Valyrian Steel, either, so while dragonglass is plentiful now, Valyrian Steel swords are extremely limited.
i mean, didnt they reforged Ice into two swords?
i dont think that no one knows how to forge, i feel it is that valyrian steel is really rare material

If they capture a wight, that won't be possible as they're just brainless snow zombies. But I can't imagine they're going to capture a White Walker, which is the only creature that can turn others into wights or White Walkers. They're too powerful, and John's blade is the only thing that can stop them (unless Berric's flaming magic blade also works). I just think it'll be too silly to get a full on White Walker into a cage and transport it probably a thousand miles to King's Landing.
You are correct; the problem with Valyrian Steel is purely down to how rare it is.

the handling of this season just screams to me that the show confederate is going to be MEH
There's 2 people, if I remember correctly, that knows how to re-forge Valyrian Steel into new Valyrian Steel weapons but no one actually knows how to forge new Valyrian Steel.
yeah, im reading on it, even if they find the material to make more, nobody knows how to
It's interesting that great houses disappear one after the other. The Lannisters might be the last one to fall and a Stark/Targaryen family could be the last one standing. They could rule over Westeros as one Kingdom, not 7. Not necessarily because they want it like that, but because that's what left after the carnage.
They probably had a hard on shooting the scenes where Dany saves slaves and wanted to do more of that....

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Seems like they more or less do the same thing:
Is it just me or is this the same long haired white walker dying in every scene? lol
He's doing the best Game of Thrones fan-art I've ever seen. His last one is so beautiful that I'm debating buying a print off Deviantart.
I was about to say the same thing, lol. He's the jobber of the White Walkers

The only question is if Jon's sword would have been just effective if it only glanced the wight. Dragonglass is basically shown to be instantly lethal no matter what.
Ah, I was wondering this as well so I paid attention to this during Hardhome and nope. Valyrian Steel doesn't seem to do anything different to Wights.
That White Walkers name? Vegeta
Probably the same way the Maesters of the Citadel knew the Tarlys were executed. Time passes between scene and info is spread in Westeros. A defeated Jaime returning to King's Landing was probably big news.

I was under the impression that he had made contact with Bronn before going there.
Tyrion and Bronn still text regularly I believe.
He's like the typical NPC model in your big open world RPG that share the same face across multiple characters.
Does the dragon glass have to cut them or just touch them? Otherwise they could just grind the dragon glass into powder and scatter some into the wind in front of them.

Same way Cerci knew that Jaime was meeting with Tyrion by way of Bron......
You see, it's a TV show and....

I sometimes can't believe this is a television show.
Everything about Drogon is mindblowing.
Eh, not the same. Cersei has a spy network by way of Qyburn. The little birds operate under Qyburn, it's not that far fetched to assume that she got the information from him.
Tyrion knowing about Jaime though, I haven't a clue.
He didn't just show up there. The meeting was arranged and set up through Bronn. I'm guessing Tyrion has a way to get messages to Bronn. They were bros for a while, so that's not implausible. He obviously didn't know Bronn was still alive but whatever contacts he might have to get a message to him would find out and know.

I don't know what it is, but Emilia Clarke looks extra pretty this season. Maybe it's her aging😍.
I think Jorah is dead by the end of the season. He's never getting out of that friend zone.

*Looks at Walking Dead's "deer"*
The gulf is too large, we're not going to get something like this in a long time.
I wanna say Jon, Gendry and The Hound are safe. Them being gone for seasons to come back, go up there and die? Lame. And after that convo in the cave, I want to see Gendry and Jon kick a little ass together. It'll be the closest thing to Robert and Ned we'll see until they decide to do Robert's Rebellion, if ever.

After the series is over, someone is going to re-edit the whole series into chronological order and add captions saying "2 weeks later" or something like that. I guarantee it.
If you think about it, yep. We're complaining about fanservice stuff, Bronn not dying, less consequences. That stuff is true, but in a way it's kind of a twist in itself; that the show isn't doing the twists that it's known for.

Most likely Valyrian Steel is forged with dragonglass as an ingredient since dragonglass would inherently be more brittle than a standard steel weapon. Just have to find the information on how it's forged. It could very well be contained in the old scrolls/books that Sam grabbed.
Honestly after watching TWD and FTWD (haven't seen the newest season yet) and other shows that have cratered, this season is an absolute godsend, even with its flaws. At the end of the day, it's a thoroughly satisfying show. I hope they keep the magic going until it's done.
It's difficult for me to believe that people actually have more complaints than praise at this point

yeah, i have a friend that is not liking the show anymore for its lack of plot twists.
and im like, if you only liked it for the plot twists, then the show isnt that good
Yeah twists don't make a show. They can enhance it for sure but you've gotta have all the other shit down for a twist to even be fun.
I don't care if the huge twists are relatively minimal from this point forward, if the quality is as high as it's been.
I'll take less twists/consistent quality any day.
