Hard to tell from the way the green wild fire stripped the flesh off his bones and incinerated those bones to dust right in front of the camera... Hard to tell. Maybe he'll be back as a cyborg.
He's the only big character in the sept where they actually showed his death! He was completely obliterated. Everyone in the sept is likely dead.
If someone actually survived that I'd be surprised.

Yup, the sister clearly said "Robert" and the nly character tha tI know who name was Robert was the last Robert Baratheon. Cersei previous husband.
Wow, that was the best single episode of television I've ever seen. Cersei gave me motherfucking EVERYTHANG. From her amazing black dress, to the way she marked Pycelle and the Septa for their own special fates, to the total destruction of half of the cast, to the MUSIC omg, her sipping her wine with such smug satisfaction after the blast, culminating in her beautifully filmed coronation. I don't remember reading one single prediction that Cerseis evil ass would sit on the throne as the fucking QUEEN. I've been a huge fan of her character and Lena Headeys amazing portrayal since I started watching GoT, so it's a great feeling when my favorite character just annihilates her competition. What an incredible villain! Also it's funny how I wanted Unella to get her comeuppance, but there's something about raping and torturing a nun that is not satisfying at all. :/
Poor Margeary! Well acted death sequence from her. She was always one of the smartest characters, but they were all in way over their heads.
The rest of the episode was pretty good too. Dany and especially Jon Snow are so boring to me though. I'm kinda team Littlefinger (Sansa?), just to spice up that plot line. Remember in season 5 when LF promised Cersei he would give her Sansas head on a spike? At the time it seemed like he was just bullshitting, but now, I don't know...

Well the Red Woman believes in Dany because of dragons and fire and blah blah blah. She also knows Gendry has King's blood. If she finds herself at Dany's side and whle the Queen struggles to win over the people she can marry him to unite them under her.

King's Landing.
The reason i watch these shows with excitement because of my boy Jon Snow. He has delivered and has not stopped!
Lord commander, Hardhome, killed a White Walker, Olli bastard cunt slayer, elevated the Stark name, finally gave Sansa credible protection, took out Bolton army, beat the shit out of Ramsey, reclaimed Winterfell and is King of the North! He makes the damn show. King Jon haha!
Finally the Starks are becoming a formidable force.

The thing that really makes this is the sound work. No music but the faint sound of screams from the carnage.

It got Olenna out of King's Landing. She did good.

In the first season I thought Jon Snow was boring and everything with his story was too. Then when be was a wildling prisoner I was interested. Then his relationship with Ygrett made me like him. Then he came back to he. Ame back to castle black and started running shit mad me really like him.
I think it really cool he went from one of my least favorite characters to top 3.
Jaime is my number 1. In my opinion, his character was great from the beginning and gets better every season.
Perfect ending would be Jaime and Cersei ruling Kings Landing as King and Queen.
Man. What an episode.
What a season!
What a show!
Needs to have "BAIL OUT!" flash across it before he jumps
You can also head the sound of him setting metal down on stone when he takes off his crown.

I feel like Cersei has finally crossed the line for Jaime. I hope he's done with her shit next season.

In it's raw form she's simply a mad alcoholic who is constantly numb and desensitized.
Since she also knew that Tommen was destined to die she had probably prepared herself for that for a long time.

Yea. You can also hear Tommen strumming the crown too. Its faint but it made me think at the time "Sounds like hes trying to decide something."
She needs to go. Jamie or the mountain is going to do it.

I mean
We saw in the vision, Kings Landing is fucking wrecked by the time Danny is in the throne room.
My guess is Cersei goes Mad King and actually blows up the city.
Now if we didn't see Kings Landing in ash (or snow), I would say that in cruel irony, Jamie would be forced to kill his sister to prevent her from blowing up the city during the invasion.

Not sure if I am understanding you correctly, but the sister said, within the context of the scene, that if Robert were to find out (that her baby was born from a Targaryen father, the part we did not hear, but other episodes implicate it), he would kill the baby (Jon Snow), as Robert had sworn to kill every last Targaryen. That was Ned Starks promise to his sister, to pretend as if Jon was his own son, hide that he's a Targaryen, and ensure he lives.
Caveat: I think

which vision has dany on the throne?
It needs a "NOPE." for it to be a perfect reply gif.
Probably Arya's first top after dealing with Walder Frey. She's got to resupply her stock of Direwolf bread.
Come to think of it, Brienne failed to deliver Hotpie's new and improved version when she met Arya didn't she? Pod probably ate it.

yup, its on the long list of jobs Brienne failed to do
We've been shown two visions of the throne room and one of King's Landing.
Bran had a vision where he saw a dragon's shadow flying over King's Landing.
https://youtu.be/8gh0-4hOzyw?t=1m20s
In the same vision he also saw the Red Keep destroyed with snow falling on the Throne.
https://youtu.be/8gh0-4hOzyw?t=1m14s
Dany also had the same vision of the Throne.
https://youtu.be/l7VuGknEfQY?t=53s
So what I believe this means is that when Dany lands and attacks King's Landing, it will mostly be intact, aside from what Cersei did but her attack could possibly destroy the Red Keep. At some point after this, The White Walkers will come and with them they will bring the Long Night, completely enveloping King's Landing in darkness and snow.

What if the end game is that everyone fucking loses? The Night King wins. That'd be something. Especially after this season with all of this positive stuff happening for the viewers.

thanks, i Remember the the bran vision, just not the dany one.
A lot of people seem to think that Sansa will backstab Jon due to Littlefinger but from the episode I took away that she knows Littlefinger is not to be trusted, she knows he's going to be an issue and they have to be wary of him. She's the only one who knows what his ultimate goal is which to every one else is probably unthinkable.
Cersei probably wasn't too broken up about Tommen because she was absolutely betrayed by him, twice. First he didn't save her from imprisonment and the walk of shame which turned her into a joke in the eyes of so many and you know that had to burn at her core. Then when he promises to never let let anything like it happen again what does he do? Shacks up with Margery even more and unites the Church and Crown to be BFF with the High Sparrow etc. These are the people that caused her so much misery, even worse he removes the one way she could have saved herself from the impending trial that everyone knew would lead to a death sentence, ie: Trial by combat. He could have made sure that stayed an option, he didn't.
In the end he betrayed her every bit as much as everyone else in her eyes and it's true, he really did. Plus you have the prophecy of all the children dying and hey she did try to save him by having the Mountain keep him confined to his room. At this point you really get the feeling she doesn't give a single damn any more and everyone who laughed and caused her pain is about to be on the receiving end of her fury for those perceived transgressions.

People who can entertain this theory seem to have no concept of character integrity.
Should've ended with that moment. Dany gets too many ending scenes.
I felt like him committing suicide was also a factor in her reaction being different to Joffery and Myrcella who were forcibly taken from her. Him deciding to end his own life could be seen as a betrayal to her as well.
That would be the most amazing and just thing to ever happen in a TV drama.
0% chance of happening.

I think it's possible that Kings Landing will either be blown up by Cersi or accidentally by the Dragons igniting the wild fire.
My bet is this could easily kill a huge number of both the Lannister's and Dany's forces, creating a big problem for combating the White Walkers.

Pretty sure Jon's father is Rhaegar

Ehh...
Too edgy for me. I guess they can go that direction if they want but it's almost the narrative equivalent to "and then he woke up - it was all a dream."
It basically says "none of this story matters, just messing with you."
Yeah, I don't think it'll happen either. However, with this show I'm not going to rule it out haha
I agree, if nothing else she can easily maker herself believe she was not the cause. He did it on his own.

Tommen was the worst Character ever...complete opposite of Joffrey but just as annoying.

He's my favorite too and has been for a while but he hasn't been done shit for like 3 seasons, so I'm excited for him to be back in the spotlight which he seems to finally be next season.
But I don't see him and cercei ruling together. I'm pretty positive he's going to kill cercei and wipe the "tainted" Lannister name off the earth when it's all said and done, and once again be the "kingslayer". All their children are dead and cercei doesn't seem to be as bothered by the last one, which looked to have bothered Jamie.
I believe humanity will have an extremely bitter victory but a victory nonetheless.
Eh. I don't think that's the same. This would make sense lol.
