The episode confirms this to be true, which is a big deal. The BIGGER deal is that apparently HBO accidentally released a huge spoiler in the episode description saying that we meet the Night King. In the books, he is just one of the million stories we are told about. Some people refer to him as a story, others as a prophecy for the future. This episode definitely (apparently) shows/states who/what he is. It was the first time something happened on the show that is potentially in the future books, kind of a reverse direction spoiler. In the end it doesn't really ruin anything, it just really helps flesh out a part of the story (The white walkers) that has literally had ZERO information through all five books. Thats why the internet is so a buzz. We have never had The Land That Is Always Winter even described before and then BOOM, not only do we go there, but we see that they are apparently organized into a real society.

This is not a spoiler http://imgur.com/a/UlXmf, it is just a very funny reaction compilation as to what is going on in the tv series.
I have never read the books nor will I, but this is exactly how all of you book readers felt as you watched the show.
Also on my own theory about the white walkers are sorta like Grupps, Castor wasn't afraid to be out there, he was either (forced to do this) or ( agreed to do this).
I forget the episode but one Woodward Tree as Sam and the woman pass by
with the baby ( yells/calls for a whitewalker to get the baby//also if I am wrong I thought it reacted to the death of one of the white walkers), so the (greenseer/raven) knows about these babies/whitewalkers as-well.
Which makes me think that some how all of these things are intertwined, maybe Bran is going to see the Raven who is in a sorta truce/working with the white walkers who is in turn somehow related (maybe by blood) with Castor but overall I think everyone including the whitewalkers are working for and somehow have the same ambition as the Raven beyond the wall. ( There has to be a reason why he went beyond the wall and stayed there )
What I don't understand is the relationship between the two, like why would the trees warn about a baby leaving and why haven't the white walkers killed/fucked with the children of the forest.
