Frey said he was back in his cell
He talked about it with Jaime, said something along the lines of "I would've killed him but it would've gave the family a bad name".

I'm not really convinced they actually get The Reach. That whole situation is going to be a hot mess with the state of the Tyrell family's ongoing decimation; if they were doing this up properly, I would actually expect a Lannister invasion of The Reach prior to Daenerys's arrival (and the ensuing battle over it when she does arrive) to be the crux of the entire war.
She also mentions when she looks into Arya's eyes, she sees brown eyes, blue eyes, and green eyes. Foreshadowing Arya wearing other faces.

Ned carries the sword up the tower of joy. It not only has blood on it from the earlier fight but he rest it at the foot of the bed.
Sure, but that doesn't mean they have to hook up.
Besides, this is Game of Thrones. If you think this story will have a happy ending, you haven't been paying much attention.

Fucked this up and posted in the wrong thread. But for those that wanted to see the mountains face.
If the Mountain does fight the White Walkers im guessing hes going to get mind jacked by them and his eyes will turn blue.

So I'm reading the wiki, and it says that in Westeros marriages between cousins are not considered incest and are perfectly legal and even somewhat common.
So... if Jon found out he isn't Ned's son but rather Lyanna's and another person's son... he could technically marry Sansa or Arya and everyone would have to swallow their disgust because, technically, it isn't disgusting.
AND if he also finds out he's Rhaegar's son, and if he legitimized him... he could go all "fuck it, I'm a Targaryen after all" and marry BOTH Sansa and Arya.
So... yeah.

All? I thought Arya only killed the two named sons

Aren't the others bastards? I might be remembering wrong, though.

Cersei keeps getting away with shit cause people keep trying to take her on the honorable way, going through processes and trials and giving her time to prepare.
The episode was a fitting end to this season. It's up there with some of the best seasons the show has ever given us, and more specifically it had several episodes that were among the best the show has ever given us.
Lady Mormont again was amazing, and I want to see more of her. Holy shit she dressed down those old lords and verbally bitch slapped them. House Mormont is a lifetime ally to the Starks.
Can't believe Arya is in Westeros and has the ability to change faces, and is starting her killing march on her list. YES!
Finally the giant Jon Snow secret fans have been guessing for years is true. Also weird that hes the king of the north when I really think Sansa should be Queen.
Bran going south of the wall is going to allow the white walkers passage, you were told that's why they got in to kill the three eyed raven, and you just got told there are magic runes that block the dead from passing, why can't you put two and two together.
The shit int he south was killer, and Olenna Tyrell was just a bad ass, man in her youth she must have been quite the player of the game.
Also how did Varys get back so fast to Easteros?
I just want to watch a dragon eat Cercie and the mountain.
But so many lose ends, where the fuck is Brienne, where is the Hound. Come on.

Well, seeing as how Dany mentioned in the finale that she'll be looking for an alliance through marriage once she takes over Westeros and Jon just became the King in the North (aka probably the smartest new ally she can make once she gets there) and was promoted to the spot of Hottest New Bachelor in the Seven Kingdoms, I'm thinking it's pretty likely that they're gonna do the do.
Plus, they're kinda going to have to team up to take on the White Walkers in the final season.

It's going to be so fun going back through the series with the new revelations and lore knowledge in mind. That Arya foreshadowing posted above is a great example.

What about the comet in S1?

I've always wondered about that. I'm sure searching would lead to spoilers unless bookreaders have no idea either.
While I can't confirm how much of this applies to the show, I just looked up a family tree (presumably from the books) and there are
71 direct descendents of Walder Frey on it, not counting bastards. Kids, grandkids, great-grandkids... I know the show tends to omit people, but I imagine there are still some Freys out there, unless Arya went on one hell of a killing spree.
I don't get this "no happy ending because it's GoT" idea. It only works if you choose to ignore everything that's happened in the past. Aegon Targaryen gazed upon Westeros and said to himself "yep, I'd like that," and he got it. Robert the Usurper fought a rebellion to overthrow the KL, and he achieved that. The idea that any half decent person can never have an ending that's satisfying for them, doesn't make sense to me on a grand scale. It's been happening for eons in this universe, why suddenly no more?
The Tyrell army wasn't at all decimated, and they are perhaps the wealthiest region in Westeros now that the Lannister's are bankrupt. With Lady Olenna in charge, how exactly do the Lannisters invade a region as powerful as they are, while keeping KL, the Riverlands, the Stormlands, and their own home turf defended? Each of these regions were areas that had their own standing armies to maintain, and now need to rely on the Lannisters to do so.
Watch the show wave it away by suddenly having the Lannisters field a force of 100,000 troops. "We've never shown you Casterly Rock, the bulk of our forces were just chilling there."

These guys get it.
Gif of Arthur Dayne's sword. There is a reason they lingered on that.
Though, I have to say that this makes me wonder what might happen with Longclaw? Assuming that Jon does get ahold of Dawn and becomes the next person to wield it in combat, is Jon just gonna trade up or will he dual wield or hand down Longclaw to someone else?
He's a Targaryen, he will marry a Targaryen (his aunt). That's the rule.

This theory of yours proves to be even more legit.

Assuming Jon is destined to wield Dawn, I wonder exactly how he gets it. According to the Wiki, Ned
What would Jon have to do to
?
gave it back to the Dayne family and it's still in Dorne with no worthy owner.
What would Jon have to do to
prove worthy

I get the feeling the way they try to spin it is that Olenna isn't actually able to exercise proper command over the Tyrell forces and bannermen because she's always relied on puppet leaders and isn't respected in her claims as an individual. Her son and grandson might have been fops, but they were fops she propped up to be recognized as the Tyrell leaders.
I mean, I do like the idea that this becomes The War of Seven Queens by the time everything's said and done, but it seems that they've gone to a lot of trouble to establish that Olenna is a puppetmaster specifically because she can't lead directly, including multiple direct statements from her about How to Manage Your Man.

Maybe Jon will return Longclaw back to the Mormonts? How else is Lyanna going to take out White Walkers?
I just assumed Lyanna would continue doing what she does best; roll a Natural 20 on Charisma to win every battle of hers.
But yeah, that could actually work really well if that turns out to be the road the show goes in!

Yeah, I'm gonna hold you to that, look forward to eating crow.... in two years
There's no possible way this story ends on a sour note, you think the show is going to end with the White Walkers conquering westeros? Please, there may be some unexpected losses but the show is undoubtedly going to end with a new "good" status quo installed for this universe.

Jon has the blood of Old Valyria and is already wielding a Valyrian Sword with deep roots in the North. Longclaw is perfect for him on so many levels, even more so now that he's the "White Wolf". I'd much rather see it double as Lightbringer.

This would be nice. I can see Jon being given the sword just to look at and as soon he unsheaths it,
it bursts into flames
I can see this happening, but I feel like Jon is going to give it back to the Mormonts. They were the only House that stayed loyal, giving back their ancestral blade is something I can see Jon doing to repay his debt.
That's what's been my line of thinking. Maybe that Samwell finds out the secrets of Valyrian steel. Maybe the blades have latent powers that can be woken by people with the right lineage.

all of that just got dropped on him on his return
THAT EXPRESSION

I dunno... She had one scene, yeah, but it seemed like a really important scene to me. The show decides to introduce a new character that's someone that's able to scare Varys in one scene and never comes back?
But yeah, I don't think we're going back to Mireen in the future. So we'll see, I guess?
