The forts and gates are on the south side and the magic keeps the dead from crossing. Seems pretty in-favor-of-the-humans to me?

So next episode the NK uses an icespear to kill a dragon, but couldn't just spear Jon at Hardhome that was standing only couple yards away on a boat.

The Children of the Forest had hostilities with the First Men so they made the WW's to help fight them. An armistice was reached and the WW's lived in the Land of Always Winter. During the Long Night which was a winter that lasted an entire generation the WW's surged forth and The Children banded together with men to combat them. They were driven back and the Wall was raised to keep them up north. The WW's have been in a type of hibernation for about 8,000 years so other people like wildlings and such have been able to live and thrive north of the wall and the WW's faded to legend.

Night King and Euron will have a show off duel where they each do ridiculous poo poo in order to outbadass the other. Euron will win and save the world.

The few giant's bows were destroyed and no more giants are around to build more. Ice Spear has a super long cooldown. NEXT

I think they awoke with the red meteor thing and the dragons rebirth but they were content to chill as long Craster fed them his kids. We know the 13th Lord Commander also had a pact/union/agreement whatever with them and also practiced human sacrifice. They hosed up when they killed Craster.

My take is the Night's King was originally just some powerful warg that the children used to raise an army of dead to fight against the First Men. The wall was constructed by men while all the tribes north of the wall were still fighting the WW and wights (a wizard does it really fast.) Winterfell will see all the dead Kings of Winter rising to fight. Dragonstone will see the return of Valyrian steel.

This is true I still hold to my reasons for their motivation though- the only thing they've ever been shown to "want" is human sacrifices They would send an errand boy all the way from the Land of Always Winter everytime Craster had a boy

They used the baby to make more WW's, right? I don't remember that scene very well, just that they poked it in the face and its eyes turned blue.

I honestly hope this isn't the case because a lot of what lends the NK his sense of menace is that he's a supernatural force that can't be reasoned with. If Bran sits down to play chess with him and we find out the NK really just wants babies or a hug or something, I'm going to be quite annoyed.

I also think they have a hate boner for the Children of the Forest since they like to arrange body parts in mocking displays of their circle/spiral imagery.

No way valyrian steel didn't require human sacrifice, they were super into that. Also, Sam reads about the last hero carrying a dragonsteel sword, and as the last hero is azor ahai we all know what it took to forge that sword.

For gratitude, HBO should give GRRM full creative freedom to do one episode in S8. It would be a cold open to a Mereen only episode, where Daario contends about the optimum tax policy with his advisors. Subplot would be about the city sewage system and a diarrhea epidemic.

Is the bastardy of Cersei's newest spawn just not an issue now? I know it's never gonna be born but the monarch having no trueborn heirs was literally the main crisis of season 1.
