Cersei's reign will be short but who cares, I will cherish every second. Tywin disappeared great Houses for a living so it's great to see his only daughter take up that mantle. Roses shouldn't mess with Lions. She tried to warn Margaery...
Last finale the One True King was taken from us and now we get him back, for real this time. Dany will run over the South and the Riverlands but she's going to hit a wall if she tries to take the North. Winter will take care of the Dothraki and Bran will bring Drogon over to the good guys.

Well, going to be a long time until Sunday evenings have anything on this scale of spectacle again---unfortunate that HBO on air had a bit of an audio blurb right at the scene of Jon's father being revealed, but I figured I'd be able to see it on here after the fact.
Definitely a very swaggering way to conduct a season finale!

need to acknowledge davos' performance too, after this shot a while back i knew i didnt want to see him sad again and liam cunningham proved it.
People are working their little hearts out on this clearly. Its actually impressive they deliver what they do every year. I think the fact they say the final seasons will be less episodes probably means the VFX guys are going into overdrive.
I would assume that Arya has her on a list, and if that killing was any indication she's easily able to do it.
Not sure how the bald guy was on that ship though. Wonder if it's the faceless guy.
Eventually I'm assuming Jon and the dragons will need to defeat the walkers. Dragons for the undead, and the swords for the ice king. How everything else plays out is unclear. Wouldn't be surprised if Danny dies and Jon discovers his heritage and summons the dragons somehow.
Thank you! I don't remember this scene at all. Littlefinger really sneaks that tidbit in there, doesn't he?
Well yes, obviously. A Lannister (allied, anyway) killing a Martell doesn't immediately imply that she was married to a Targaryan though.

Opening scene of tonight's episode reminded me of the opening scene of this movie and I was thinking "welp, all these people are going to die".

Jon is the only one not truly playing the game. Maybe that's why he'll win. Seems the story they've been telling all along.
Oldtown. It's way down south near Dorne.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
The only winning move is not to play

The scene was cool, I'm just confused about where she stands. Is she no one or is she Arya? If she's Arya then how can she change faces? I still don't know why Jaquen let her go in the first place. Does he not care that she disrespected his God and way of life by training only to get vengeance?

The reveal was awesome, wasn't expecting that at all. The shot of her face watching him die came off as alittle corny to me though lol. All around awesome ep however, what a finale.

My only complaint is Frey went too quick, he only had a few brief moments to realize he just ate his own sons. Goddamn Arya is a murder artist now.

She gave him his life, would be fucked if he took hers.
I think sending her off was fair.

As for the finale itself
Very great way to end the season. This entire season at least payed off for things that were set up in Season 5. No stupid cliff hangers, no cheap thrills or tricks to make sure people come back (cough cough Walking Dead)
We're in the end game, literally all the pieces are in play now and it's going to be interesting how they do the last episodes with the massive battles that are incoming and the fact that White Walkers aren't over the wall yet.
My guess is Walkers go over the wall at the end of the next season, and the last season will simply be the major battles and such.

Sending her away was still a mistake though, I feel. Jon felt she needed to be punished and didn't want to kill her so sent her away because it was "right" but I'm not sure it was the smartest play.
Kid is definitely a Stark.

That.....is actually a really good point. And I believe that George has said before he is not a fan of conquerors.
Jon from the beginning has been the only one not concerned at all with ruling and instead facing the true threat.
Lol. That is so bad there.T_T I mean, by not playing, Jon will only received the North here.
Maybe he will survive, but he sure won't get that Iron Throne.
Can't be bothered to find when it was mentioned but here is an official source:

If he has the people behind him, and Dany decides he'd be a better king than she a queen, who can really say? FUCK I'M EXCITED

What a fantastic episode. Shame about Margaery, felt her character could still have been interesting but I guess with the King gone the Tyrell's were fucked anyway.
I still have problems with Arya's storyline. I actually think they botched it really. We haven't seen her grow to be a great assassin, she was still doing stupid shit right at the end of her time with the faceless men. Now shes some wonder assassin capable of destroying a house. Ok it was the Freys but we never saw her anywhere near the level of skill needed to do what she did. Also do you think Hot Pie helped?
So Arya has to meet Melisandre as some point, I wonder if shes going to Kings Landing to kill Cersei or Winterfell to see her siblings.
I am also not convinced the Black Fish is dead, his death was so odd by GoT standards and he's been named dropped a few times since his "death".
Cersei is gonna be on the throne a good 5 mins.
I wonder if Sam will have a hard time convincing the maesters that the white walkers are back and if he does, surely they'll do more than just train him?
Jon is the rightful heir to the throne, but I doubt he wants it. If Bran ever reveals the truth and it becomes public knowledge it will be interesting to see what Danny does.
Who is left of house Tyrell? Olena is old, shes gonna have to kick ass fast.
Whoever found the girl playing Lyanna Mormont is a god damn genius.

Does Arya want to kill Thoros and Beric? I don't remember her saying their names.
Wtf?
Because I wasn't feeling the finale? C'mon peeps, let's not get defensive. It's a masterfully shot, perfectly executed GOT production; just that I'd rather not have this kind of episode as an end cap.
I can acknowledge that I'm like the only person that feels this way, if it helps.

Never know. People love war heroes. And Jon has been involved in more warfare than anyone else on the show
It fits with the plot.
John is King of the North. He is also part Targaryen. Dany is looking for a husband. The blood exists between them.
Dany has a following of the Lord of Light. John was revived by the Lord of Light's follower. There are what, 3-4 followers of the Lord of Light still in play in the plot?
I like how they segued from Lyanna Stark being Jon's mother to Lyanna Mormont (named for Lyanna Stark) proclaiming Jon King in the North.
Nice touch.
well, this is interesting, that page is updated with the info we got on tonight episode (dorne allying with danny), BUT it doesnt indicate that Jon is Rhaegar's son

Agree with all of this.
Also, yeah, the visual and music in that scene was amongst my favorite, like we're lucky when such things are pulled off in movies and here it is achieved on TV.

Honestly, all of Arya's pointless scenes are completely forgiven after her scene tonight. I truly did not see that coming. I thought it was Jaime.

Maybe it's someone else with a Messi avatar but I could swear you come in here every week saying how the episode sucked but it will do, lol. No one is getting defensive, if you hate it, that's cool, lol.
Jon banishing the red witch is going to be his undoing.
He's too fucking nice.
Ha! I won't dispute that I've expressed negativity in the past, but I can assure you, I LOVE this show. Most of my "disappointment" is really just me wanting more, and being pissed I have to wait till next week!

I thought Jaime had grown tired of his shit and paid that girl a ridiculous amount of gold to get rid of him.

Yeah I didn't see it coming at all either. They played that well.
Targaryen's are already predisposed to incest so this seems really obvious... and exactly why I hope it doesn't come to pass.
If Dany suddenly decide that Jon is the King of Westeros after all this seasons, i would rather see Dany and her crew all die immediately there.
Dany whole agenda have been returning to Westeros to reclaim her rightful thrones. If she feel that the throne is such insignificant thing which can be that easy to relinquish for Jon, she should just stay on the other side continent forever. Racking all her stupid titles.

I was legitimately surprised as hell
Yeah, I was saying earlier how her time as a Faceless Men felt pointless but now that we see she gained their power, it was totally worth it.
Yep, thought the same thing.
The season did have a few lows points (Arya being the main example here) but the highs were so damn high. #Holdthedoor, Battle of the Bastards, Bran flashbacks, Cersei killing everyone with wildfire, Lyanna Mormont plus a whole lot more.
Definitely one of the strongest seasons with easily the best finale.
