Because all those Stark bannermen didn't want to be out-balled by a ten year old girl
Pretty much. It's a shame.
Because they need someone to rally with and they already proclaimed the Starks the King in the North and with Robb dead, they pass on those wants and needs to Jon, even though he is a bastard. Like Lady Mormont said, she doesn't give a fuck if his last name is Snow or Stark, he is still a Stark and the North only know one King, the King in the North.
They do believe in the White Walkers, like others have always said, the Northerners are superstitious folk, so if the guy who they just called King in the North says he not only knows that the White Walkers are coming but has fought them before, they're going to believe him.
And about the Night's Watch stuff, either they know he was resurrected or at this time it's really not important to be carrying about rules like that, what good is he defending just a Wall? The Night's Watch purpose is to protect the Kingdoms from the Wall, right? And that's exactly what he is doing.
Nah, you do get it.

Who thinks Arya is gonna get to Jaime next season? Because of Cersei actions that led to they're only living childs death. He's never been as cold as she is.Personally, I don't expect him to stick around in Kings Landing for very long.
Don't fuck with street urchins.
They used to be Varys's little birds and now they're Qyburn's little birds. He's basically perverted what Varys used them for.
I get that it's supposed to be an atrocious move on Cersei's part but... it's really atrocious.
Probably just kids, the formerly little birds of Varys at that. Kids can be persuaded to do the most henious things.
She's gonna die sure, but that's the fate that befalls anybody who sits on the throne. Modern society's glamorization of emperors and kings and queens often leads people to believe that they lived charmed lives. Sure, some of them did, some ate better than anybody else did... for like, 5-10 yrs, while surviving assassination attempts regularly and eventually being killed, possibly by family.

I still can't get over how much of a surprise badass Lyanna Mormont was this season.
Don't worry, she's probably gonna get tortured, too. The Mountain sure does love his torture.
Forgot about that. How weird would it be to see her get revenge for Gendry and then we never see Gendry lol

I was wondering the same. It sure looks like that will be the case but I thought the Mountain was basically just a mindless zombie now so I didn't think he had any... urges...
I really do think Gendry will be back next season, they've now brought back everyone so I'm positive they'll bring him back, he's too important to just be forgotten about.
Arya also needs her eye candy back.
That was impossible. Battle of Bastards was probably the best episode till then but this one, I can't believe it was that good. So many times I though it ended yet it kept giving.
Oh and by the way, "what a waste Arya is, her story goes nowhere, lololol she went all the way only to cme back, blah blah, blah", in your face haters. One of the best moments form, stood up and started screaming "Arya, Arya, Arya".

He's really not important. His claim to the throne is pretty much non-existent, and no one really seemed to like the Baratheons at least anyone still alive.
But imagine if Aryas arch had been done right, would have been x times more satisfying.
I don't think he's important in the sense that he will shake up the world politics but he is very important for Arya's story. He's important in the same way The Hound and The Brotherhood are important.
No, if all true born children die, the bastard becomes the heir.

While I do agree it's possible Gendry will return, I really don't think he's that important. He's the only remaining Baratheon, sure, but the house is all but extinguished, with few people having any reason to rally behind them, and furthermore he's a bastard with no claim, nobody to legitimise him, and no proof his father was Robert. We have maybe thirteen episodes left, with Euron, Dany, Cersei, and Jon all vying to hold the Iron Throne (Littlefinger too, but I assume he'll team with one of the four), and the White Walkers. There just isn't time for Gendry to have any important role, even if he ever could have had importance.
EDIT: I see this has been addressed. Even as being important to Arya, I really don't necessarily agree. Sure, he was a friend to Arya, but she has literally no idea what has happened to him. As far as she knows he's dead.

I really wonder if that's going to be public knowledge in the show. I don't think it really needs to be now. I was sure at first the truth would spread but they already confirmed Jon at the King of the North despite being a bastard. Jon is now officially over in Westeros and they don't really need change what everyone think about his parentage. It felt like it was for the fans and not the characters.
It would be nice if Jon finally found out the truth but it's not necessary to the story (not that it ever was)
Edit: Does anyone besides Mel and Gendry know about him being Robert's bastard? I can't think of anyone. For his characters it would be nice to see him again and maybe he gets to have a hand in re-building the Baratheon name but that's about it.
Like I wrote above, I don't have any hopes that Gendry will come back to take The Iron Throne or that he will have supporters because no one knows who he is or has any reason to believe is Robert's son, however, I believe he is important for Arya's storyline since he has affected her greatly.
The Hound and Gendry are two people that have shaped who she is and I believe that's why Gendry will be back, not for the Iron Throne but for Arya.

Question for long time fans,
How did the R+L=J theory come about? With so much information in the books/show how did this crazy theory became what it is?

With the amount of time left I don't see them re-introducing characters unless they have to. Gendry isn't needed for Arya to continue her story.

Yeah, he is definitely killing her, right?
This. This episode is just perfection.
Yeah "King of the North" not "King of The Iron Throne" Doubt Jon gives a single fuck.

Gendry is out cruising Central Park with Sal Romano. I don't think he's coming back.
Apparently there are more hints in the books and little nods that point to Ned having a secret he kept from everyone.
In the show itself there are some scenes here and there that point to Jon being more than he seems but not enough where if you just saw the show, you'd have come to that conclusion, at least I don't think.
Same could have been said about The Hound but he's back now.
I'm assuming I'm late and everyone has already seen Cersei's Play of the Game:

This. Sansa's whole aesthetic in the last few episodes has left me SHOOK
Cersei reminded me of a blonde Romulan this episode.
Queenslayer.
For me her arc made perfect sense, ok the execution was a bit stupid especially her being stabbed etc but as a story it was fine, she went there intrigued by Jaqen to be able to kill whover she hates, tried to do whatever she was ordered but she realied she couldnt. After all, if she actually left her name behind an became really no one, there woul be no point in the first place because vengeance brought her there.
Now, regarding the execution part, one can only imagine what a fucking season would that be if all the episodes were directed by the last dude. They should hire hime to do the rest of the show - I know its not feasible.

so good
