1. Bring The Walkers South Of The Wall
Season 1: White Walkers slay a Night's Watchman. Season 2: Multiple walkers and wights march through the snow. Season 3: White Walker weakness is located after Sam stabs one with dragonglass. Season 4: White Walker transforms Craster's baby into one of their own in front of a gathering. Season 5: Full-scale White Walker onslaught succeeded by raising 90,000+ wildlings from the dead to join their ranks. Season 6: ? There's not a lot I need to add to that timeline. They were teased (S1), their threat was heightened (S2), they were fleshed out (S3), their processes/way of life was developed (S4), they demonstrated their full power (S5), and that leads us to the next logical step; taking their undeniable power, ramping it up a level and using it to wreak havoc. The only way Thrones can improve on the Battle of Hardhome is by sending the White Walkers to the Wall and shattering it. It sounds far-fetched, but I could honestly see it happening in Season 6. Once they're south of the Wall, ANYTHING could happen, and how exciting - and utterly terrifying - is that?
