Actually, I thought that Theon was going to go for it when he was stepped over. That would have been the poetic justice, but they chose to go for the paradoxical.
Yes, it is a fantasy soap opera, and that is why it's interesting. The mystery of the Night King is meant to be as much a mystery as where dragons come from. They're in the script.
C'mon, they had to find a feasible way to defeat the army of the dead, and it couldn't be a deus ex machina --as in Dany flying in on a dragon, again. Now, seeing what happens to Cerse, who ends up with the big woman for the rest of winter, and how Dany and John are related, is more important than who ends up on the iron throne.
