I think there is a lot more going on than Dany arriving with dragons to save the day. What would be the point of Jon Snow's existence if that was where the story was going? What would be the point of Arya, and all the different Gods suddenly showing up with powers? Also, it has been MORE than hinted at in the books and the TV shows that the higherarchy of the Whitewalkers are possibly Starks?. Remember, there must always be a Stark at Winterfell...but why?
So that Night's King? Might be Jon Snow's great great great uncle or something. And Benjen, his actual uncle, is he going to show up as one of these fleshly others? And Brandon is a living Wierwood now, don't forget. Did anyone notice the whitewalker weapons looked a lot like weirwood branches? Makes me wonder if they really ARE going to be the "bad" guys in full out bad guy fashion, or if we are going to get a little revelation as to why they are coming south (like...cutting down all the weirwood groves? AKA, since animism is real in this world, the gods of the forest are pissed and these are the protectors?)
I'm just guessing here, but my point is there is a lot more going on thatn Dany and her Dragons riding in to wipe out that army. If that IS how it ends (very simple ending to a complicated story), I'll be super sad panda.
Also, I think the point of Jon killing the Higher up White Walker (Other?) with his blade is to show the importance of the few Valarian steel blades left in the show, like Brienne's and even Littlefinger's dagger.
Loved Septa whateverhername is smacking Cersie with that spoon. "I'll kill you!" SMACK! Haha.
The way the Sparrows are portrayed makes you wonder about how Martin views Christianity. Cersie isn't being put on trial for having people murdered or being a terrible queen, but for incest. Same with the Tyrells, it's for buggery, and for lying about it.
