It was the entire basis of the war that got Robert the crown in the first place, Rhaegar kidnapped Ned's sister (Robert's betrothed). At least, that's the official story. There's no one else that could be the father realistically.

Yeah I saw it as Littlefinger's gameplan being ruined right there right in front of his eyes. No doubt he'll come out next season with a whole new batch of schemes.
If Jaime was pissed at Tyrion for killing Tywin, I'm sure he's not so hot on Cersei leading to the demise of their son.
Meli is not done yet. My guess is she finds some path of atonement and/or finds a way to help Jon again. She said to Arya that she and Arya will meet again some day, and Arya will likely find herself in Winterfell... Meli lives to serve the Lord of Light and the Lord has chosen Jon. A little exile won't deter her. Besides... No one knows she's actually and old lady. All she has to do is take the necklace off and walk amongst the servants at Winterfell.

Arya Kill Wish List
1. The Mountain
He's too big to even sneak up on so you have to catch him unaware. Here's how I'd like it to go at this point;
The Mountain goes for his weekly "visit" to the Septa, takes off his helmet and armor. The Septa doesn't move, she's likely now dead. He nudges her and we see her limp brutalized body. The Mountain decides to have his way anyway and drops trous. And right as he does this Arya reveals herself playing possum disguised as the Septa and stabs him right in the crotch. But to her surprise he's unaffected and and rears back, ready to smash Aryas face. And just at moment we hear a growl. The Mountain pauses and looks toward the growl. And from the shadows comes fucking Nymeria, bigger than any of the other wolves we've seen. The Mountain attempts to move but realizes that Arya didn't stab him with a knife but instead a hook that's chained and bolted to the table. He struggles, completed unarmored and naked. Nymeria lunges and proceeds to rip him to shreds as he flails. She's significantly bigger than he is and absolutely mauls him under grunts and groans. We see everything. Limb from limb The Mountain is massacred. The camera pans to Aryas smiling face.
I know we all want Clegane bowl but tell me you wouldn't shit your pants if that happened.

I felt like this show's soundtrack was getting a little worse as it progressed.
But fuck this season has been so incredible.

How many episodes do we have left in the series?
Yeah, a collusion of LF and Sansa would make no sense, given that he sold her to Ramsey.
And young Ned looks like an band member of an alternative rock group from the 90s.
Yeah. It was glorious.
Ummm, hasn't he been mentioned throughout the entire series? Rhaegar kidnapping Lyanna Stark, Ned's sister, is what caused Roberth Bartheon to go the war in the first place. If he isn't the father, who else would it be?

Also arya killing the freys lollll
Because Jon's not entirely "alive"? I just feel like there's something I'm missing here with Jon being undead and there being an entire army of undead coming. for all we know they're two DIFFERENT kinds of undead (north vs lord of light), but I feel like two kinds of undead makes less sense than one kind of undead. and if it's all one kind of undead, the lord of light has some backstory we have yet to learn about.
Still rowin'.

You're watching the same show right? Have you been asleep the last six years lol
This and, like, the "previously on Game of Thrones" bit that they included before the episode for everyone who hasn't been paying attention.

Man I would've dug the adventures of Tywin and Arya
I was thinking of this too. It's gonna be brutal.

I mean the magic is probably gone from the wall now that the white walkers destroyed their creators.
Wall is going to down.
It was a fantastic score this season. Hope it keeps for next season. My favorite is still Benjen's battle piano medley.

My guess now that I think about it more.
LF somehow goes to Cersi and convinces her that the North is a threat. When she discovers that Sansa is alive as well and Jon KingofdaNorph Snow she'll be pissed and power hungry.
She'll go on the offensive. Somewhere the north will converge and be pressed from both sides with the White Walkers looming and the Lannisters.
At some point Jamie will see Brianne in this face-off.
The hound will be with the brothers and Jon at this point and be facing off the mountain.
I think Jamie will jump ship somewhere in here. If he hasn't already broken Brianne will pull him in or kill him.
This chaos will take place while Euron keeps Dany busy temporarily.
Dany will defeat Euron to come to take kings landing. It'll be somewhat easy after the defeat of Euron but the battle to the north has created a lot of dead bodies and weakened it substantially.
Queue the White Walker invasion...

Man its still crazy thinking about the Tyrells were wiped off the map in one swoop like that. Poor Margaery even saw it coming
With Varys and Tyrion at her back? Not a chance in hell. Plus what can he offer her? It's going to be Jon as King of the North in a marriage alliance with Dany after she mops up the Lannisters. Every southern house is against the Iron Throne now. Plus with Dany essentially allowing the people of Dragon's Bay free reign to choose their government, this whole Dany teaming up with Team Evil has been poured in the drain.
I'd say it's clear there are two kinds of "undead" given Jon and Beric are breathing, shitting, bleeding humans and not feral zombies.
And he's clearly not like the White Walkers given he can be felled by more than Dragonglass (and isn't blue).
Though I'd suggest categorizing Jon as undead in the first place is probably not correct.
Time for a scene of them rowing down a river and pass another person rowing with massive arms. Slight nod and then we never see any of the characters again.

So the Lannister Dynasty officially started although Cersei is not the first one, officially speaking she is.
Cersei is on Aryas list right? Tall order.. I wonder if she will keep the hound there
Olena is there and out for blood.
Maybe euron will marry cersei?

That Jon is a Targaryen and Stark? What littlefingers said in the recap, Ned always giving different names for Jon's true mother, how everyone says Ned is honor bound, the event in the house of the undying with a blue rose which indicates Lyanna Stark and Rhaeger Targaryen gave Lyanna a blue rose. And of course book series is called "A Song of Ice and Fire" aka a song about Jon Snow

As hard as Littlefinger has worked to take advantage off all the moving pieces throughout the Seven Kingdoms you have to wonder what his plan is to deal with Daenerys. I find it hard to believe that he has not considered her at all.

Pycelle is a dick who has always hated Cersei.
Robert did always want to join houses Stark and Baratheon.

I was wondering about that. Where did the kids come from?
mhmm fair enough. mind's just spinning from the episode still!
these are the little birds of varys now serving qyburn
I feel like you kind of have to assume that things take months to happen in this show at time.
This show has always crammed a lot of shit in a short time span.
In a re-do GoT you would probably add two seasons just of shit that was probably glossed over or not given enough time to saturate.
Varys just seemed like a particularly glaring reminder of that.
Good episode, but sad there's only like 6-7 episodes next season. I had a feeling Cersei was going to one up the Septum, but never believed she would make enemies on the Tyrells too. Seems Cersei's demise will happen next season, as she no longer is the main plot of Westeroos, but the Night Walkers are still hidden. I get the feeling that Sansa, will be Little Finger's demise, as much as he loves lurking behind the shadows, he has a weakness for Sansa and Sansa will be his undoing. Also, with Bran crossing the Wall, it could be the way the Night Walkers to go back South again. They were buying their time for a millenia, and now will make the entire Westeroos ice cold again. I get the feeling Jon and Dany will team up against the White walkers and use her dragons for create dragon glass and of course Sam will be by Jon's side when he fights. The last episode to me of the entire Game of Thrones will be Jon Snow's death. I get the feeling somebody has to be sacrificed for Westeroos to be peaceful and it makes sense that the Lord of Light resurrected him and will take him back with his forefathers.
