Remember when Sam killed a white walker with dragonglass. He kinda blindly stabbed, grazed the walker, and then the walker shattered into a jillion icy bits. The same thing happened when Jon killed one with Longclaw's Valyrian steel blade.

So it doesn't appear that the location of the blow, the power of the strike, or the severity of the injury means a damn thing. All you gotta do is score a hit, and some magical reaction makes the bad guys explode.

Jon's got a mountain of dragonglass. How does ice-dragon stand a chance? One volley of arrows and Viseyron-z becomes nothing more than a rain of ice cubes, no?

I think Viserion is a dragon wight not a white walker. The distinction being that WWs were made by CotF (and Craster's babies who are turned) and wights are dead raised by WWs (they're all skeletons or zombies). WWs are clearly sentient to a point.

I'm slightly uncertain though because Vis' eye turned blue the way the babies did but it could just be for dramatic effect.
