The White Walkers have arrived at Winterfell's gates, which alone is grim news, but what's interesting is that, at least from what we see, the Night King isn't with them. He's not there on the frontline, which fits with his entire M.O. really - whenever the wights and Walkers have appeared, he's hung back - so where is?

Is he, like Jaime suggests, refusing to show himself, knowing that one wrong move would end this war for his people? Or is he on a different path towards Bran in the Godswood, as they expect? Or is it at all possible that he has a plan all of his own, that's different to what Bran thinks?
