And in later episodes, the Wildlings talk about when they came around to raid the northern villages, and there is the story line where Osha's party came upon Bran.
So, while the Wall was never impenetrable. It did keep the majority of Wildlings in the North, and was a formidable defense against an invasion. Without that Dragon, it would have taken much more time for the Walkers' army to get south of The Wall.
Now the sh gets real. I do hope the writers can come up with something a little more creative than "The Battle of the Bastards"

Meanwhile I am going back through all the previous seasons to catch up on some stuff I missed. Like where did Euron come from. I seemed to have missed that part. I really am looking forward to seeing his demise. He reminds me of a fellow in highschool that made my life miserable. I want to see him get toasted, but not too quickly.
Really, because it looked like they could have just walked around it since the water was frozen.

It was frozen? I don't recall the water being frozen near the wall.

There was a ridge of Ice forming at the end of the wall. It probably needed more time to grow and cure before a whole army could walk around the end.

I didn't see any frozen water. That looked like a ridge of rock that extends out, that the wall was built on where it meets the sea. I saw splashing water when the wall collapsed. Lots of it.

I have been wondering, with his track record, would Balish have been around to start the Raegar kidnapped Lyanna accusation in the first place?

No. He'd been banished to his ancestral home and didn't go to King's Landing until Robert's Rebellion was over. The rape allegation was all Robert. Burning a couple Starks alive (well, one strangled) was all Aerys and the real reason for the war.

Yes, it's not horriable hard when it's solid and covered in a dusting of snow. They all walked on ice during the fight where the dragon was killed.
