I agree, but not seeing Tyrion's potential ended up undermining a lot the work he did for house Lannister. Shunning him is what ultimately led to the family's fall.
His children were shits for the most part. Not one of them cared about the betterment of their family name, only themselves personally. You had one who believed she was god's gift to the world and was entitled to everything in it, you had another one who was constantly pissing away gold and spending a good amount of time in brothels--a fact that was well known among the many nobles in court--and then you have a son who would refuse to take his place as heir because he wanted to stay in KL with his sister/lover.
The fault lies with his children not stepping up to the plate/getting their shit together when the time came for it. Tywin ain't got time for dead weight. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Tyrion had been treated like shit his entire life. Both Cersei and Tywin blame him for the death of his mother and never let him forget that. Can you blame him for ending up the way he did?
Lots of people have been to the crypts.

Listen closely, she doesn't say "before I executed him" like many people believe, she says "before I executed it".
"It" means Protocol L, the super secret plan crafted by Brienne and Stannis in which Brienne doesn't chop Stannis' head off; instead, she chops that tree behind Stannis, builds a boat and sends him off to Kings Landing to claim the Iron Throne while nobody is looking.
Row Stannis, row! Oh, those tricky writers.

Unless it's some back to the future "Here lies Emmett Brown" shit and names on the gravestones change because of Bran's fuckery, then why wouldn't he or anyone else have known his parents names before hand. He lived there his whole life. What's down there that could tell him the truth?
Doesn't mean it can't happen. Ned Stark said that he was going to tell Jon about his mother someday. I would hope he planned for it somehow even if he died.

If the R+L theory is true, probably not, since we've already seen Lyanna's tomb. King Robert visited it way back in S01E01. Might've been a bit awkward if it said "Mother to Jon" on it.
I know his life was rough, and maybe his brothel visiting was to help with the lack of affection/appreciation that was missing in his home. But I still feel for Tywin when his son is constantly involving himself with prostitutes even when told not too. :lol

And while rowing to Kings Landing, he rams into Gendry's boat for a Baratheon reunion scene. (Cue the Stark reunion song between Jon and Sansa:: https://youtu.be/3gMv73Oyvl4?t=1m53s)

Very plausible, especially the last one.
But would Tyrion have been so keen to rebel against his father had he been treated the same as Jaime? I'm not so sure.
The question is will
Jon find out what happened at the Tower of Joy
Christ, what a satisfying moment that was. He outdid the "smash a guy's head like melon" move in one go with "decapitating a guy the hard way." lol
He could already split a horse in half with a sword when he was human... Give zombie mountain a valyrian sword and... fuck... It'll take a dragon or an army to stop him.
I just noticed this says no book spoilers. I thought we were past the books now? Can't spoil something from a book if it doesn't exist. Or am I misinformed.
Anyway, I believe more is going to happen this episode than people believe. I'm still waiting for the mountain to lose his shit.

Apparently some stuff hasn't happened in the show yet but not much. The books also have a lot of extra details so bringing up why a character might have done X because he did YZ in the books is kinda douchey.
Some stuff from the books can still be implemented in some form. Not word for word, but maybe certain actions can be carried out by one character in the show where the books depict 2 or more characters. I already hate that some people mentioned characters from the book that weren't in the show, and even went into some detail about what they did. A story isn't just about characters, but also actions and consequences.

Yep, and for anyone wondering why Brienne would serve Stannis you need to rewatch the scene where he "dies".
When Brienne starts with her "In the name of Renly Baratheon, first of his name...etc" Stannis starts reciting the sacred chant that activates Brienne's nanomachines, which were implanted to her years ago with the sole purpose of serving Stannis.
So when Stannis says the final secret words "Go on do your duty" with a certain smug on his face, Brienne's nanomachines activate and she has no way to resist Stannis anymore.

I hope they don't kill Pycelle before he publicly drops his act in front of everyone. It would be so weird to include that stretching scene in the show, not include the scene where Tywin sees through his charade, and then have him "stay in character" for the rest of the series.

Is the Wall visible from Winterfell? Maybe
Bran shows up, tells him everything that's happened so far, including the tower stuff(assuming the Tower pertains to Jon) and then they see the Wall crumble in the distance.
I don't know how much time has past since the Night King's attack, but I don't see Bran showing up in Winterfell until next season. I'd like to be proven wrong though, It would be nice to have all of the Starks under one roof, assuming Arya shows up too.
Edit: maybe Meli sees it in the flames, right after Bran witnesses it?

But then she rolls up her sleve to reveal Renlys arm has been attached to her the whole time. She looks at him and a familiar voice shouts "brother!" before her sword slices his head clean off.

There are certain small book things the show hasn't covered. I think there is a little detail about a character that the show decided to omit and it could be considered a huge spoiler, so I wouldn't venture to book discussions just yet.

That sucks tonight is the final episode of the season. I hope we get the plot moving in a fast pace in this hour.
And just like that Sunday TV turns to crap once more.

We are so close to the end of the series, and that is extremely scary/exciting.What am I going to do on Sunday's nights now?
This season went by so fast it's crazy.

Cersei gon' blow the shit out of King's Landing. All dat Chekov's Wildfire wasn't mentioned for nothing. They've been harping about it for half the season. She gon' full-on Mad King dat shit.

I think we'll be saying "Winter is here" by the end of the episode. And for god's sake that better involve an ice dragon, or my prediction has failed.
Unless things change, their 9th episode is the one that feels like a finale, the last one is usually more like preparing for future events.
