1. How Will They Stop The Night King?

It's going to be interesting to see how this war plays out. Will the Night King lead a full on assault, or will he continue his strategy of mostly hanging back and letting the wights do the work, only stepping in when absolutely necessary?

Either way, he's going to be a fearsome foe whenever he does enter the battle, since he's capable of raising the dead, is possibly a greenseer, and rides a wight dragon. He's the main one they have to defeat, but that's not going to be an easy task. We don't know if the same rules that apply to other White Walkers apply to him, nor if he's a more skilled combatant than they've proved to be.

The legions of dead will be difficult enough due to sheer numbers (and the more people who die, the more their ranks can swell), but just how will they stop the Night King? Will it be dragons? Bran? Will Azor Ahai really be reborn? Is the world going to fall into darkness once again?

It's going to be a hell of a long wait.
