Im curious on what LF will do now, it's possible he might be underestimating sansa seeing as how she see's him as what he truly is.
She's fucked, no money, no allies, hell the episode hinted that her brother hates her now. Knowing cersei though, she's not going down without a fight.

There's one big name left on Arya's list-and she's sitting on the Iron Throne.

got damn that was some good tv
Watch Cersei blow up all of KL when she realises her reign is over. Q did mention that there were much more of these barrels, and they are supposedly everywhere. She takes the entire city with her rather than lose it.

Boy did he ever
The mad King had enough wild fire stored up to burn the entirety of King's Landing. Cersie has it now. Plus, I'm sure the dark maester knows how to cook up even more.
Melisandra said that she and Arya would meet again. It's a high chance that the 2 will run into each other again next season as Meli really doesn't want to leave Jon's side and Arya will want to see her family.
Arya might just arrive in time to find Cersei already dead and Dany sitting there being like "o shit waddup"

Nice catch. I guess they came to pick her up then, lol.
Yup, thought the same thing. I was watching clips earlier and Arya was such an adorable kid. Now she's got the juice.
I'm not sure why so many people have problems accepting that "several weeks" have passed when it comes to people clearing great distances. It's a pretty easy conclusion to jump to.
By the way, if you think Varys getting from Dorne to Dany's fleet was the biggest teleport - you've never seen a map of Westeros.
Look at how far Theon and Yara traveled this year:
It's probably cause we all assume each story line is progressing at the same pace. Like it didn't feel like it took Jon months to get ready to fight the Boltons but in the same amount of episodes Theon gets to Dany which one would assume would take a at least 1-2 months (yea yea they're Greyjoys). Each storyline has to progress at the same pace cause if one is way ahead of the other then the timeline if it all gets confusing and the flow of news would be off.

It was less pure sadism and more poetic justice
That fate was taken from an in-universe folklore story about the consequences of abusing guest right.
Yeah, I'm with you. If they split it into two half-seasons, the next will end with Jon and Dany coming together and the threat of the Night's King being clear, and the last half-season will be that war.
I get why they will be half seasons, though. They murderin' fools left and right.

screw The flash show, GoT is where the true runners are.
David and Dan explicitly responded to this criticism by saying that storylines do not move at the same pace, because it's impossible to properly stage that.
Even the books fail at this, actually.
It makes way too much sense for Cersei to destroy King's Landing and take everything with her. Poetry, I guess.
Hot Pie was her first teacher, dat foreshadowing!
Yea I know. I don't really care, but to some it can be jarring and I can see why.

Join up with the Hound and the Brotherhood.
Sanders had to concede his campaign at some point, duckroll.
He had the supporters. Didn't you see the crowd in that town hall meeting? He could have pushed through. Hilary just blew it all up instead because she was just spiteful. King's Landing needs a shake up. The entire organization is rotten to the core!!!

If this map is accurate...there's considerably more distance between Dorne->Meereen/Dragon's Bay to Twins->King's Landing. I've no issue with this though, because travel times this season have been very similar by multiple characters...I think alot more time has passed between ep1 to ep10 compared to previous seasons.

Because the truth is a large portion of those children are there due to nepotism and/or marketability, not talent.
Looking at HBO's history of shows... it's pretty damn obvious quality and "getting it right" is of high import to them. Most hollywood movies though? Not so much.
Well... I said it a few pages back. And I'm sure I wasn't the first either.
Huh. Finding it pretty interesting the number of people in this thread who didn't piece together that Rhaegar is Jon's dad. Wonder how prevalent that is among the average viewer. Seemed like there were tons of hints throughout the series though I suppose that's easy to say considering I've rewatched the entire thing many, many times over since it came out lol.

Such a low-energy episode, especially as a season finale.
Yeah, Cersei getting her revenge was amazing, but the explosion really should've been the closing scene. It made the rest of the episode feel like it was dragging. And it was.
I didn't feel much when Arya killed Frey. She hasn't been part of the Stark plotline in so long, it didn't feel like proper justice. There was no emotional payoff there. She's just a cold-blooded assassin at this point. The only thing the directors could've done to make it powerful was if Arya ripped off the servant's face and underneath was her mom's face.

I actually had this exact thought when the introduced Lady Mormont. Then it made sense with Hollywood's constant white washing shinenegans and extremely myopic favoritism with hot actors.
She killed all the Frey heirs, and because Papa Frey pumps out babies like a rabbit, there are more than one Frey male. She then proceeded to chop them up into tiny little pieces, quickly looked up the recipe for pie making, and then fed it to Walder Frey. She finished it off with a meticulous slicing of the throat while beaming like she just nailed her school's talent show. That's pretty darn sadistic. Like I was legit scared and I root for her.
Well Howland must have questioned the baby Ned walks out with.
And then Dany the unburnt sits on her throne of ashes

Sparrow slowly realizing he got played like a fiddle, too good.
I don't think Dany cares where she sits so long as she gets to go home. She's been in exile since she was born.
Or he just ordered Reed to ride ahead without him and Ned went alone latter with Jon.
But there was a thumb/big toe though.
Very true. I figured it would've been interesting if the HS turned out to be Howland Reed. He'd be the only living person to know the real parents of Jon. I wonder if the Howland Reed bit will ever get mentioned. What happened to him?
What? There was a toe in Frey's pie. Arya don't play.
Did you not see the finger in the cake?
Meera said that she had never seen her father cry besides the day that he found out Ned had been killed. I think it if there's one person Ned could have entrusted this secret with, it's Howland Reed.
I'll tell you what I tell my wife-put the phone down when you watch this show.
