So next season, Jon, Dany, and friends, are going to be sandwiched between the Night King to the North, and Cersei to the south. She's mentioned how she plans on taking back what Dany took from her. My only hope is a sudden emergence of the Dornish army to throw a wrench in Cersei's southern ambitions.

No one expects the Dornish inquisition.
Ellaria and her daughters died meaning there's no people left to lead Dorne's armies
despite Ellaria herself not being a proper ruler and a kinslayer.
Uhm, were Tormund's / Beric's deaths explicit or just implied (as in: "how would they have survived this?")
If so - there's waaay too many characters alive, still. :/
We'd have to be killing off characters left and right next season, making each individual death possibly less impactful.
This season we only lost the sand snakes, the Tarly's, Olenna and Littlefinger.

Homie is going to get to ride/control a fucking dragon!
Isn't it closer to two years at this point?
Drama engine.
Right? Cersei thinking she's hot shit and planning this incredible fuckery, but in comes the forgotten and incredibly pissed and untouched Dornish army to just rain all over Cersei's parade. But then, as all hope seems lost to her, she makes a dark and secret pact with the Night King and reveals her final form. Enter, Nighy Queen Cersei.
There are five more Sand Snakes lol. Oby told Cersei when she asked him what he was doing when he was in the gardens writing a poem (I think) for one of them.
What, really?
WHYYYYY
Personally I wasn't buying Cersei threatening Jaime with the Mountain. If she didn't kill Tyrion when she had the chance, she sure as shit ain't killing Jaime.

Oh man, can't wait for this moment. The Hound is such an awesome character. I'm afraid that they are going to wind up killing each other. That would be a suitable fate for them after all.

They didn't die. The half of the wall that remains standing is where they were last seen.

Now that Sam is in Winterfell, I'm curious who he'll lend Heartsbane to. Depending on Sandor's plan, it'd suit him.
I think the Night King just smashed a hole over at Eastwatch, the Wall is pretty huge so if they moved far enough west they could probably get back to Castle Black while the undead focus on marching south.
Jorah, he's in dire need of a Valyrian Steel sword.
Also Jorah/Lyanna Mormont reunion, fuck yeah
At the very best we will see the pretty sand snake one last time...
we won't and the Dorne is totally over
He never cared for power but he will become a great ruler alongside Danny.

Like Dany, I forgot about Jorah. Him and Sam do have a connection. Unclear if he's capable of fighting with a great sword.

Lena heady has been on fire this season.
She's completely locked down this character and her scenes command attention.
Such wow.

Why was the sex scene between Jonni boi and Danny so tame? They were hugging naked.

Guys, none of this was discussed in the show. Please do not talk about book theories or plots.
There was a bit of thrusting there
Yes it was, Melisandre's first scene ever in the show

Dorne is a big place there are plenty of nobles who are owed fealty. Ellaria ever being leader of Dorne is nonsense.

Agreed.
Some arse play. Needed Dany winking at the screen. Needed Tyrion there ploughing into Dany as Jon Snow, oops, Aegon Targaryen, watches from the corner wearing a dragon mask.
And Jorah looking out the window.
GoT has toned down the T&A for a couple seasons now. Its HBO's model. Tack it on in the first few seasons than taper it off. First season has tons of it.
Also, Emilia Clarke doesn't like being nude on screen.
Also also, it'd be weird if their sex scene was super raunchy with the music and Bran's narration, it was supposed to be more loving than Littlefinger's brothel.

After this episode, I'm 100% certain Dani dies. Jon is the new Aegon the Conquerer. That scene with him bonding with Drogon was a clue.
Now we know the Night King will fight on top of a dragon. It's always been Night King vs. Jon. And it will be Jon (Aegon) who will take on the Night King, not Dany.

Holy shit, him in an epic battle wielding Heartsbane against his brother.
Oh man. Too good.
That was 100% her last season, and she even mentioned that the rumours that she told HBO no more nude scenes was false.
"Seems every bad idea has some Lannister cunt behind it"
So disappointed in you Tyrion. If you just shut your stupid mouth, Night King wouldn't have gotten a dragon to use to bring the wall down.

If I remember correctly, she talked about how she did that nude scene because of how important it was for the scene but she never said the first report was false, which I believe is 100% true because right after that came out, she stopped doing any nudes scenes.
She could've been nude in this one, too, but Kit's arms were placed right in a spot where her breasts were covered.

That was really dumb on their part. Should have given him straight hair or a better shot of the face. It was confusing for casual viewers.
My wife was like: OMG! Dany's annoying brother is Jon's father? His real name was Rhaegar?
I just slapped my forehead.

Actually Tyrion told Dany to stay and not fly the dragons over there.
It was Jon Snows sexy ass that made Dany weak to the knees and sacrifice a dragon and end the world

Tyrion has had one dumb lannister cunt idea after another this season.
"Let's get a wight and bring it to Cersei because she'd believe us because we need her help!" When they don't even need her help. Dany could have taken kings landing, then turned to the north.
Oops, now the Nights King has a dragon.
"Let's go to cersei and ask her for her help! Hey, she said yes! Let's completely forget the conniving lannister cunt she is."
Now cersei intends to stab them in the back.
Her last ally would have been fucking dead otherwise. She already lost 2 of her allies thanks to Tyrion's dumb lannister cunt idea.

Nowhere in the show was it mentioned that Azor Ahai's wife soul was combined to make the lightbringer sword.
2015:
"The Game of Thrones star dismissed a widely circulated Daily Mail report claiming to quote the actress at a party, saying the Emmy nominee ”can't stand" sex scenes and that they ”should be more subtle."
http://ew.com/article/2015/09/16/emilia-clarke-sex-scenes/
2016:
”This is all me, all proud, all strong," Clarke told EW. ”I'm just feeling genuinely happy I said ‘Yes.' That ain't no body double!...Taking off my clothes is not the easiest thing, but with the magic of the effects, I don't have to do a season one and go on a cliff and do it, I'm in control of it."
"That's a point Clarke also emphasized last year, when tabloids erroneously reported that she couldn't stand her Thrones sex scenes."
http://www.vulture.com/2016/05/emilia-clarke-that-got-nude-scene-was-real.html
Yes.
Yeah, she confirmed it.
Also, here's her talking about nude scenes.
https://www.instagram.com/p/7shoBno1Np/?hl=en
So, like, that's why she covers her breasts when she talked with Daario that one time, since there was no real reason for her to be nude other than T and A. Which is why I think she didn't show any nips in this episode, the scene completely worked without her having to do that, while the fire scene wouldn't have worked without a full body shot.
[edit]
I expended on that post above.
She doesn't refuse to do nude scenes, as we've seen, but she does them when they are important to the plot.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Yeah but anyone with a pulse would know Dany would do some fool shit for Jon including Tyrion unless that scene from last episode between Dany/Tyrion was literally meaningless.

Ned didn't need to know that. As a highborn girl, educated by a Septa or Maester at Winterfell, Lyanna would know that her son cannot be called Aegon Targaryan, but Sand. The Starks of all people would follow the rule of names.
As soon as she said it, Ned knew that she wasn't raped that she was married to Rhaegar.
Robert would have killed the baby 100%. And even if he didn't, Tywin would have to keep the Lannisters in the Royal family.
Yeah, I was still replying to "she doesn't like to do nudes" lol. We're on the same page now.
Buddy thought the VP position was a lock. Now he's worried that Jon might have impregnated Dany with his future boss.

That confused the hell out of me. Should have been Jorah.
<plays Don't Speak by No Doubt as Jorah lets out a tear>
I know we joke about Jorah but he knows his place, he knows he will never be with Dany because she loves and respects him but as a friend and not a lover. He expected this long ago and I don't think he would actually show that he was broken up about Jon being with Dany.
