What do we think The Night King wants? If the answer is "land" or "power," that is pretty damn boring. Is he coming south to capture an object or a person, or to retrieve an object or a person? I don't think these are necessarily spoilers, because no one I read or watch posts spoilers or production info or anything, but I've seen some intersting speculation:
Winterfell is the site of much, much more mythology in the books, and it wouldn't be crazy to see some of that pop up in the final season. There's some speculation that there could be a dragon or dragon's eggs under or in the crypts, which could be a reason the Night King is on his way south. When it comes to a "someone," there's also reference to the speculation that the Night King (and the Night's King in the books) could've been a Stark, meaning the crypts hold his ancestors that he may want to raise from the dead. One of the wilder theories I've seen if that the Great Other himself is buried below Winterfell--it was raised at the same time as The Wall by the same person (Bran the Builder), and the name could be a clue to it being the place where winter ended, where "winter fell," if it was the place where the Last Hero defeated the Great Other to end the Long Night. There's also speculation that some sort of magical object--akin to the Horn of Winter--is in the crypts with Rhaegar's harp, and he needs it before he can go further south.

After the ridiculous zombie kidnapping and turning Daenerys into a nephew fucking superhero, I don't have any faith that they'll do anything interesting with the Night King.
My only hope is that the books don't resemble the show at all.

Very well could be the show's jump the shark moment.

A Dream of Spring:
Final scene of the series is a cut to GRRM waking up in a cold sweat at home with a dead hooker in bed next to him. The whole thing was just a dream.
PS - Local news radio said yesterday that the final 3 episodes will clock in at 120 minutes each. Sounds like they have that wrong and should have said an hour and 20 minutes each?

On a podcast today the guy said that he wished HBO would pull a Fathom and put each episode in theaters the same night as they air on HBO for the superfans.

Less than a week away now--we should be getting at least the first episode's title soon! Let's try to guess RMers' reactions to the first episode, sight unseen. Feel free to add your own:
"Very promising. Can't wait to see where it goes." -Anders
"Who was that guy with the sword? I feel like I remember him from an earlier season but it's not ringing a bell." -Monkey_Driven
"[something Stannis related]" -mecca
"This will end with Jon on the Iron Throne. Confirmed." - dime
"It was a tough world back then, rape happens. Could we get some more rape for the next episode?" -bammer
"The grace and poise that Sansa showed as she ceded Winterfell to the dragon queen was an absolute stunner. The power exuded by the women on this show--even when they are deferring, and especially when they are deferring to each other--is remarkable and inspiring." - durdencommatyler
