Just noticed something in episode 3

So after Bran decides to warg into those ravens and is looking for the night king when he finally finds the night king the night King’s eyes turn white and he starts forcing the wights into the fire to make a path. Now I could be absolutely crazy but is it possible that bran warged into the the night king to make the wights do this and eventually let the night king through the gates on foot? It doesn’t seem likely but what if... I mean he does this after Theon tells him that they lit the trenches. Maybe he knew if they didn’t get in on foot then he was fucked if they came in on Viserion.

Best picture I could get of the white eyes Night King

NK warged into the wights to make the path because he felt bran's presence.

I could see this being a possibility

I think it more likely the NK was merely warging into the wights on his own.

That’s possible but we’ve never seen him with anything but blue eyes before, even when he is making the wights do out of character things like standing still around Bran at the end.

Maybe he needed more direct control since he was away from them. He wasn’t close, he was flying up in the clouds. No idea.

haven't we seen wights just stand there and do nothing before?

Yeah around the frozen lake, but the night king was there with blue eyes

Long shot, but nice theory

I’m on board with this! I watched a S1-S7 video compilation of the NK and he’s always had blue eyes. Never white. This has to be significant!

How do we know if the NK controls wights by warging? Are we sure of that?

I don’t think he does

maybe they are white, or just glowing through the white haze? I didn't think that Bran could warg high functioning indivduals.

But the way they showed Bran warging - NK commanding - wights acting, could be read that way and i thought it was odd. But it could have just been an omnimous way to intro the NK to the episode.

He flew down, saw Jon and flew back up

Was the night king high functioning though? He seemed to only have a sole directive “kill all life” just like hodor “hold the door”. We don’t know if he had any thoughts beyond that.

Also it’s a TV show if his eyes weren’t importantly white why wouldn’t they make them blue? That’s kind of his thing.
