Just wait.. as soon as she dies this is Jon:
I hope this is true. Was honestly kinda hoping for Jon to die last ep

Why do you hate good things?I hope this is true. Was honestly kinda hoping for Jon to die last ep
Jon just isn't that interesting to me. Ramsey may be a bit one-dimensional but he's still more charismatic.
Plus this season is a little too much "good guys always win" compared to usual, I figure it's about time for the other shoe to drop.

I think killing Jon again would be pretty dumb. I'm glad that this season has had a far more positive outcome compared to the rest of the series and kind of makes more sense Imo. Because honestly seeing everyone get screwed over time and time again became grating and uninteresting, because it became expected which is boring and overly depressing. I think it's also a better consistent story to have the original main characters go through numerous hardships and come out victorious on the other side after all they've been through and the Starks reclaiming winterfell is a good example of that. Because you'll get to the end of the show and the white walkers will come and no one's going to give a shit because all the characters you're emotionally invested in are dead so might aswel kill the rest anyway, there wouldn't really be any stakes and it would be a lackluster ending.
Sorry man, but it's more than time that the good guys get a few wins, in order to prepare for the Big One.
If things were going your way, the show would end with Cercei, Ramsay, Euron, Walder, Tywin, Mereen Slavers, High Sparrow, Little Finger and Joffrey fleeing together on a ship after having had everybody killed, while the WWs sweep over the rest of the world.

Agreed, but then some things are predictable with breadcrumbs far too far away that the nice twist would be to NOT do what the breadcrumbs are leading to---and that would be the twist. For instance, I was telling my friends a season before the red wedding happened that Robb is fucked. He is going to be killed. And he's going to be killed by Frey at The Twins or wherever. The only "surprising" thing was how brutal the deaths were, but that really doesn't count for anything. Too many breadcrumbs pointed to this event, and it kind of killed the moment for me.
Sometimes a show is easy to predict because the writers always do what is the most dramatic or surprising, therefore making it very not-surprising. If you notice this pattern, you can start predicting what is going to happen not because the breadcrumbs laid it out but because that's what the writers have done time-and-time again for shock value/drama. Game of Thrones has teetered the line on this one, but I honestly think done pretty well avoiding it recently. GoT is more guilty of having deaths being shocking in the way they are handled, which is a problem for some (not me). The big offenders of this dramatic predictability though are shows like Rescue Me. Or even the movie Interstellar. Trying to think of others but nothing else is coming to mind at the moment...
The death of Hodor was the first thing in Game of Thrones that floored me because I had no clue it was coming. I'm not saying other things didn't surprise me, but so many other events I at least questioned in my head if they could happen. Hodor's rocked my world in that I had not a single inkling. And it was so damn good because of it.
But in the end, I think what you're being kind when you say you find it weird, because what you probably feel is that people who say things are annoying. Because sometimes it can come off arrogant or slightly douchey when you're constantly touting how predictable something is, especially if you're doing it just to sound smart. I'm sometimes afraid of coming off that way when I talk about the Red Wedding...The trick is that if you think something was predictable, not to come off like a shit raining on other's parades who didn't. Who cares. Others loved the Red Wedding. I still love it. No need to belittle anyone.
That was a lot of rambling....time for breakfast.
Yeah. We've gone 5 seasons now of the good guys getting their asses kicked. I'm fine with a bit of them winning.

If Mel revives him maybe I can begin to contemplate forgiving her for Shireen.

Idk if you should keep something that big behind a spoiler tag, wish I hadn't read it now. Might aswel not watch the episode.
Dany is okay for me as she better deliver here here after all the hype she keep promising us.
Arya's arc makes me wanted her become the female Rickon.T_T

So what has been your favourite season finale?
S1 Fire and Blood
S2 Valar Morghulis
S3 Mhysa
S4 The Children
S5 Mother's Mercy
Mine is S4. Tyrion's revenge, the GOAT fight Brienne vs the Hound and Arya sailing to Braavos.

S4. Bran's story finally becomes interesting and Arya's story had so much potential at that point.

lol what?
I'd be pretty pissed if it wasn't behind spoiler tags.
Who forced you to click on it? lol
Definitely S4 finale for me as well. It ended so well and Arya sailing off with the song The Children playing was amazing.
Is it a big spoiler? I kinda want to know but I'm afraid.

Lol Steely is playing y'all like damn fiddles.
There is no spoilers. HBO are not giving anything away. Killer Queen was sarcastic
Oh hehe. It's actually kinda funny now that I clicked it.
This may be a cliche'd answer but I still think S1 was the best. It was a perfect aftermath episode and all the characters were gearing up for war. Plus that final few minutes are iconic today. It had a feel of "shit just got real". I hope this finale will have the same format.

Jaime would love that, especially after he just caped for mom of the generation just a couple episodes ago.

The Children - Fantastic Jon & Mance scene, Stannis cutting through the Wildlings like piss on snow,Mel seeing the true Son of Fire for the first time, Bran's Fellowship fighting wights, Hound vs. Brienne, Tyrion's revenge, Varys' nope. What an incredible episode.

Actually that's my second favourite finale. The moment Robb and Catelyn recieve the news of Ned's death is really heartbreaking and the last scene with Dany was hype as fuck.
I think the ranking for me would be:
1. The Children
2. Fire and Blood
3. Valar Morghulis
4. Mother's Mercy
5. Mhysa

Any predictions on what will be the shock/horror moment in the finale?
There always is one with Game of Thrones.
I think Tomin will die

We can only hope. At this point, I wanted his death more than the high sparrow or Cersei.

I feel like I'm the only one rooting for Cersei. But I guess it's because everyone else in kingslanding is worse.
Myrcella is one of the few named people killed who were actually innocent.
Qyburn will use the Mountain to kill him to show Cersei just who is in control now that he knows where all the wildfire caches are.

Marcella was useless to the plot outside of fueling Cersei's emotions.
She's an absolutely horrible human being but you're right.

I feel like literally anyone in King's Landing could die tonight. The only character with plot armor is Cersei, but that disappears the moment Tommen is dead. No one is safe.

Do we need to spoiler tag predictions? I will, just in case.
I wonder what part of Westeros Arya will get back to (if she makes it back this series)? Winterfell to meet up with the other Starks, or The Twins to send Walder Frey to a grisly death?
I think Tommen will die, probably due to Cersei's actions. She'll then realise that both Tommen and Margarey were playing the sparrow, realise her mistake, cue much crying, wailing, possible suicide.
Jaime enters the Red Keep: "Hey hey hey, I've been in Reno what did I miss..." to a room full of dead Lannisters.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Yep. They've been dropping so many hints. King's Landing is about to be lit. 🔥🔥🔥
Aside from that and maybe Davos calling out Melisandre (off the back of his revelation and stare down last week), I have no clue what's going to happen.
I don't expect a lot of Dany. Just grandiosely establishing she is finally setting sail. Probably the same for Arya. Maybe Arya missed the boat she paid for because of the stabbing and will sneak on one of Dany's fleet. That would be a good way to tie them together somehow.
I feel like anyone we haven't seen in awhile will get the big moments here. I could see another big warg scene with Bran that reveals a huge point.
Too out of character, no matter what.
Even with the Wild Fire stuff, I seriously doubt it.

I hope that eventually Robin gets the chance to fly out of the Moon Door himself so he can get a taste of what the people he sent through it went through.
And then they can end the episode with this song.

I've been wondering who The Mountain is more loyal to, Cersei or Qyburn. I feel like he's going to end up betraying Cersei somehow.
