Someone might recognize her, but I don't think they are gonna bend the knee after all this time. Once Drogo died nobody gave a damn about her. They bolted immediately back in S1. Unless she trains her dragon immediately, she has no power that they respect.

It'll be weird if Stannis got the Hound treatment.
Not fully convinced he's dead but really, what reason is there for him to live at this point? He's lost everything.

Melisandre has got to be bringing back Jon Snow from the dead. That was a painful betrayal, but Melisandre just showing up at the Wall just can't be a coincidence.
Also I'm super interested to see what the hell is gonna happen with King's Landing and Dorne after Jamie's daughter was poisoned by a poison ivy kiss from Oberyn's crazy girlfriend

Pretty much how I feel. This was easily the worst season so far, not saying it's terrible tho. It's just towards the last few episodes, gauging how much they had set up, you just knew there wasn't going to be satisfying or even clear conclusions to all of it. With all the padding this season had, it's odd how much it felt like they barely got everyone's plot threads tied off before the episode ended. As finale's go, it's a far cry from last season's glorious finale with Arya boarding a ship to Braavos with that uplifting choral arrangement of the main theme behind it.
Okay, I shouldn't say its definite that they died at that height but just as you said, if they come out unscathed from that, my eyes will be rolling a 180 into my skull. I promise you that.
My eyes.... they shal roll.

A few thousand Wildlings with the Northern muscle Stannis hoped to corral by naming Jon Lord of Winterfell. Part of Davos's role under Stannis was to convince houses to fight for him, so good thing he's at The Wall too.
Fuck. I was NOT expecting that. I really thought, more than anyone besides Dany and Tyrion, that Jon was safe until the endgame.
I have to imagine he'll be revived. Melisandre's convenient return to Castle Black, the lingering mystery of Jon's mother, and the fact that he's the only one (with Stannis now dead) who actually gives a shit about putting up a defense against the White Walkers...I find it really hard to believe he's dead for good. But even still...goddamn.
Overall I liked the finale, liked where most of the stories ended up even if there was little way in the way of resolution (then again, books aren't finished, so of course there isn't). Arya's kill was brutally satisfying, Stannis' defeat was anti-climactic but felt appropriately so... I kinda wish we'd seen the battle, but at the same time it wasn't altogether necessary, he knew and we knew that he was fucked once the Bolton army came into view; it was a foregone conclusion before it even began. At least Brienne got her revenge out of it.
I think I liked the season more than most, but it's the first time where I felt the show didn't top its previous year. Some plots seemed rushed, others felt artificially drawn out. But as always, I'm intrigued as hell to see where it goes next.

I think jons bro tormund will have something to say about his death
Yeah, Ellaria really pissed me off. She knows her kinda-nephew is now basically a Lannister hostage, since he was going w/ Myrcella to King's Landing. But she decides to keep at it and kill Myrcella. Dr. Bashir isn't going to back her up. Honestly, the only logical thing for Dorne to do is immediately send Ellaria's head in a box to King's Landing.
Lol, the show where all the good guys die/suffer and the bad guys get redemption stories only to die/suffer.
This show was never going to have a happy ending, but a satisfying ending might be putting it out of the realm as well.
Also, the battle of Winterfell happened off screen? Lol. The thing they were building all season?

Here's the thing, they want us to root for the White Walkers and be all like, "Whoo #TeamNightsKing #TeamWhiteWalkers, kill everyone in Westeros"
And then...
the WWs somehow get wiped out off-screen and Ramsay and 20 good men continue their slaughter in the 7 Kingdoms.
I want to believe.
Didn't Melisandre encounter a man who brought back the dead or was that just the one guy who had died several times over?

So not only Jon may be alive to some, but also Stannis?

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
That cersie scene. wow. Fuck I feel sorry for her, and wtf was that ending. So unexpected and unneeded. These fuckers are going to get it when white walkers march in.
lol perfect reaction
Of all the people to fucking die in this episode....
Fucking Ramsay got away AGAIN!!!
lol perfect reaction
yeah I also feel this was the worst season (still enjoyable but had some issues). This finale was so full of cliffhangers.
Still a good show and I'm sure I'll be back for more

Jon is definitely not dead. A little too coincidental that Melisandre shows up just before this happens when she's the one that believes he's got a higher calling in life. She's not perfect, but we've seen people get revived before so who knows what someone with her abilities could do...
I guess this would relieve him of his oath so he could go kick some ass, right? I feel like he's more likely to rule Westeros than Dany.

It's safe to say Daenarys is gonna have a non nude rape seen next season. We all know what the Dothraki is gonna do to her.

Stannis sacrificed his daughter so.. what did he get in return?
Until Ramsay and his good men, and maybe some hounds too, find them in episode 1 of next season.

Man I wish Jon would've said something like "I hope you fuckers burn when they come".
Something grabbed Brianne of Tarth...look at that scene again...

Watching this shit again, i'd like nothing more than for Jon to come back somehow and impale Olli and be like "Oh you're a big boy now are ya? Doing murder like a big tough guy? Look here guys, it's the only person ever to have lost loved ones. I can give you the peace you seek, you ungrateful little shit." Then boom, off with his head Slynt style.

Whoa, for real? Didn't notice at first glance...
I'd prefer Stannis to be dead, though. What else can he do now?

Far too honourable for that, actually thought he was gonna be courteous and wait until everybody had stabbed him before dropping to the ground.

A fitting end!!
He'd have to kill a LOT of nights watch, would reduce their roster to like 10 dudes lol

Not seeing anything. Provide a screen cap.
I don't see anything when i'm going back and looking at it
I got spoiled on Jon's death and Arya going blind by some piece of shit on YouTube. I've managed to avoid all GoT spoilers except for those two and I'm so mad because I was just waiting for them to happen for the whole episode.
Great episode, though. The one good thing about characters dying off is that it might mean more screen time for Tyrion in future seasons, who is still the best character on the show.

I think Brienne doesn't kill Stannis, this is GoT they would show it. I think she will take him as a prisoner or hostage, and till the point where the Boltons get what is coming to them and Stannis gets last laugh. The show does a good job trying to change the perception of the Lannisters. I didn't even feel for Cersei she seems to have gotten her power up in a restored Mountain apparently. Jaimie is whatever but he continues to fail at anything he does. Fuck Reek forever as if he shows signs of Theon after everything he has done. I hope Sansa turns him and lands on him making him absorb the heavy fall. Dany search is probably going to be the plot of next season with Tyrion doing what he did as Kings hand before for Joffrey. Arya going to become daredevil like but again this show continues to fuck over the Starks even Jon Snow. Who the fuck saw that happening to Jon Snow after surviving the White Walkers

I've seen skiers jump off of pretty big cliffs into snow and not be hurt at all. I think Sansa and Theon could survive that jump.
