The 'Game of Thrones' doesn't count out the Night's King and is something no one has considered simply because they all thought the white walkers and all were just a myth. Jon and his crew know otherwise because they've seen them, and now he has shown Dany they're real with the cave drawings. I don't think the Night's King has aspirations for the Throne per se, he just wants to turn everyone into white walkers (that's the best way I know how describe it under the influence of a muscle relaxer and a pain med.) 

I think the Night's King is a much bigger threat than Cercei and only Jon understands that at this point. To me, the Game is 'won' when the Night's King is conquered and the 'winner' sits on the throne. Whatever is left of it.

I also love the fact that Jon will not 'bend the knee' to Dany. I think she means well and I know she's been through hell, but she is annoying as all get out. They are very similar in how they got to where they are now in that it has been a hard fought battle and they are the respective king and queen to their people because their people chose them. They are very different in how they get things done; she has a God complex (IMHO) and he's pretty humble; she is the daughter of a mad king and he is a [BLEEP] (no matter who is parents are he is still a [BLEEP].) So they are very alike and very different at the same time. The fact that they're related makes is even more interesting, even if we're the only ones who know about it. Except for Bran.

I think the whole point of the white walkers is balance. Kind of ties in with the whole ice and fire theme.  I'm not so sure they are an evil entity. The children created them right?  

Dany needs to realize that she doesn't need to have Jon bend the knee for her. She can make him do as she pleases with those dragon.

I would have to go back and find the white walker's link to the children. I really feel like I should have watched last season again before watching this one. A lot of references that I'm not remembering. It took me a while to remember what Theon had done for Sansa when Jon mentioned that's the only reason he (Jon) wasn't going to kill him (Theon.)

Also, I think the dragons are going to know Jon is actually a Targaryen and reacts accordingly. In other words, will not burn him to a crisp. I don't know how this will work. Kind of like how the dire wolves had a connection with the Stark kids. But I'm thinking the dragons don't react to Jon the way Dany thinks they will and that is how they figure out he's family. But I could also be blowing smoke out my butt so I guess we watch and see.
