I just watched "Hardhome" again. Really enjoyed some of the creepier moments, like the undead children. I'm a bit of a horror fan and I've always thought children make the best evil monsters. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
So I'm thinking about the episode and it's driving me a little nuts that we know nothing about why these ice demons are back after 8,000 years. I know they're building up their army of wights, but WHY? Is something forcing them south maybe? How are they going to cross the Wall even though the children of the forest protected it with magic? I suppose it could be as simple as they just want to conquer everything. Who knows. Maybe they know about the three dragons that were born into the world, increasing their magical abilities.
And just who the hell is this horned lord? Does it mean anything that he and the other white walkers look like weirwood trees? (LOL) I kind of thought it was strange when Sam and Gilly were still north of the wall and they found that abandoned shelter to set up camp for the night. There was a weirwood right there. They walked right past its face and within a few minutes that white walker suddenly showed up to take the baby. Maybe they're tapped into the weirwood network too?
I really wonder... Are all the white walkers as evil as they seem to us? Who knows, maybe we humans are the evil ones from their PoV. I've been hoping we'd catch a glimpse of the 12 other white walkers that were standing in the background when that baby was turned into one of them. I'd love to see how they interact with each other, etc.

ok, so the first bit, i really think Sam will learn things about the whitewalkers at the citadel. for all we know, the whitewalkers built the wall and the story of bran the builder was fabricated. we just don't know. any of the things you mention are possible imo.
as for the "horned lord", i believe he's the leader of the whitewalkers. maybe its possible that the title of Night's King has been passed down over the generations to the current leader of the whitewalkers. some people think hes the "great other". i dunno if they are tapped into the trees, but maybe. to be fair, we really dont know whose side brynden rivers is on.
and for the last bit, i've wondered that myself. we only see and experience them from human PoV's. we've never seen their PoV, or learned their motives and reasons. but, i'd very much like to
