Those two Lannisters need to die.
Horribly.

Why the flying frig would tarly leave the dragon glass knife behind?

He was scared out of his mind. I doubt he was thinking clearly at that point.

He's been the show's #1 **** up since he first appeared, which in-universe has only been like how many weeks/months? Just be thankful he remembered to get the girl and the baby before he ran!
I totally missed that he dropped it! What an idiot! Hey I found a weapon that can kill these things, but hey they're probably everywhere so I'll just leave it... :facepalm

I'm watching a movie called The Last Legion. Not a very good film, but half the cast of GoT seems to be in it. Ive so far noticed Allier Thorne, Jeor Mormont, jorah Mormont, Xaro Xhoan Daxos, and Jojen Reed.

Interesting - I may have to catch that.
I'd say primarily that Sam was scared well past the capacity for rational thought. It could also be that he didn't realize that the Other only died because of the dragonglass blade.

The characters you refer to are played by some fairly prominent and well-known UK actors, who've been in quite a few things that you've likely seen. They do TV work, too, actually. They're REALLY prolific, actually, particularly if you have an affinity for UK stuff.

Didn't it vaporize or something like that in the book? I remember thinking they better not run out of dragon glass.

I think you may be right, actually. In fact, it MIGHT have vaporized in the show...although I can't remember clearly. But whatever. When Daeny gets to Westeros, she can just have her dragons make more.
In the book Sam killed the Other earlier on when the Night's Watch was retreating from the Fist of the First Men before they got to Craster's. Paul, Sam, Grenn fall behind mostly due to Sam's giving up.
An Other riding an undead horse that used to belong to the Night's Watch attacks them, killing Paul. Sam in desperation pulls out his dagger not realizing he pulled out the dragon glass one and kills the other. I think the knife is ok, just something about it being really cold to the touch afterwards making him drop it (maybe? I'm a little fuzzy on that detail).
When they get to Craster's keep Mormont laments how the Nights Watch has forgotten its true purpose and does not know things it should such as the effects of dragon glass on the Others
I wonder if we will be seeing "cold hands" in the next episode. I thought we might have seen him when all the crows showed as Sam and Gilly were wandering around since that matches his appearance in the book, but they went with Sam killing the other.

No, it definitely dropped after the walker disintegrated and was in the snow.

In the book, at that particular point, his obsidian dagger shattered on the mail that Paul (his re-animated brother of the Nightswatch) was wearing.
It's worth noting that it probably wouldn't have done anything to Paul anyway.
Obsidian only affects the Others, not the Wights if I recall. For the Wights, fire is the preferred method. Whether they stick to this in the show, I dunno.

It's really strange to realise that James Cosmo (Jeor Mormont) played Duncan McLeod's cousin Angus in the original Highlander. He also played Hamish's dad, Campbell in Braveheart.
