He's been saying stuff to Cersei about it like every 5 minutes this season.
Plus the whole dude strapped to a table squirming around in his lab a few eps back.
We saw him in this scene.

Then later when Cersei is imprisoned he tells her something along the lines of, "the experiment is continuing".
[edit]
"The work continues"
Remember the scene after a dwarf's head is brought to Cercei, and Qyburn is in his office? There was a gaunt body on a work station with a sheet over it. Then, while Qyburn is doing some gross things, the body starts shaking, and Qyburn tells it hold on.

Well, there are still some future events that haven't been covered in the show, and other plotlines that didn't show up but still could. I don't think it's a great idea unless people really don't care about spoilers anymore.
She DID birth that shadow that killed Renly. At least some of her god power/magic seems to be real.

Damn, thats fucked up. I guess Arya isn't getting her vision back :/ . I hope Stannis is alive, that was a really lame way to take him out after all he's been through. As for Jon, I thought the blood streaming was an indication that he'll be revived, Melisandre is our only hope.
She's just a massive idiot. It's the only reason I can come up with.
Also so is everyone else if they thought she wouldn't do anything after all. It was painfully obvious Myrcella was poisoned when Ellara kissed her, and it was equally painful to watch the others not realize this during the next 5 minutes.
Come on, you can even tell from the little you see of his eyes that he's FUBAR behind that helmet
Sorry for the shit quality
You know what they say...You Reek what you sow.....

Yeah things are gonna need to get moving with Stannis gone. He was the impending threat marching south going through the Bolton's and Lannister's.
I think the White Walkers are going to arrive before Danaerys does. Maybe the show will end with her arriving in Westeros to nothing but zombies and just noping her way back to Mereen.

Well there is some power in the Lord of lights ways but I think the purpose of this was to show is it's not all powerful and she can be wrong. I can see her resurrecting Jon I just don't think it needs to happen. Dany and Bran will lead the fight against the walkers I think.
There is always the White Walkers..#TeamWhiteWalkers
This bastard probably is never allowed to be a dungeon master for his local DnD games.
Funny you should say that, I once watched an interview where it was he was an amazing dungeon master.

The Stannis storyline was horrible. 20 saboteurs somehow manage to destroy his armies supplies and seige weapons, so he burns his daughter alive and loses most of his army as a result. He then tries to seige a castle with nothing but foot soldiers in a wide open field ready to be routed, despite being a hardened battle commander who would obviously know better.

someone please tell me, is the boltons army wiped out?? and where the fuck is little finger to do the clean up job
Using the classic strategy of rowing your way to the throne. By the time he makes it, all the pretenders would have killed each other.
I think most of those things make sense, but the very first Ramsay attack is just ridiculous; hundreds and hundreds of man and nobody notices 20 of those fuckers?

It's a good game plan, lets see how it plays out.
Was Jaqen the waif the whole time? Was Jaqen even a real person? All the silly waxing philosophical about being no one makes it hard to determine the logistics of all this.
And what exactly made Arya go blind? Seeing her own face on a dead body?
I'm with the folks saying there's hardly anyone left to root for. Don't care for Dany cause she's so stubborn and pompous, Davos is hardly consequential enough to have major story impact at this point it would seem, Brienne is tiresome, Arya is playing Hitman: Blood Money, Hodor and Brann are talking to the weird tree baby thing. That leaves who, Sansa? No-Dick Greyjoy? Tyrion?

And his arms will be so jacked he'll cut thru any challenger left like a hot knife thru butter.

So who the hell is this show about if they needed to kill off Jon. Had homeboy laying in the snow next to a traitor sign.
Fuck.
Fuck.
The Bolton army didn't seem like it suffered many casualties at all.

I think it has something to do with her gouging Meryn Trant's eyes out.

Looks (heh) like putting on another person's face without the required proper training causes irreparable damage to your own.
I think Jaqen is just a face the faceless men can use. He is not someone. He was not someone else. Someone else was that face. Now someone different is that face, etc. Arya thought he was her friend because she didn't understand, much like others seem to here. It was never the same person she met in Westeros. It was the same "face."

I expected jon to die as soon as they even mention olly / ollie in one of the flashback segments.
I wonder what exactly happened with mellisandre though, how she could read her divinations so poorly.

I expect the next time we see him, he's going to be a fucking badass.
That makes no sense. I can get the face swaps, but you want me to believe it also makes you talk and act the person too?

Worst season of the show so far, minus episode 8. I also don't think for a second Jon is dead. Mellisandre being at the wall is too convenient.
It just occurred to me that Tommen has been king for about 2 seasons now. Kid hasn't done shit!
In the 40 or so minutes between Stannis' death and Jon's, I was hoping that Davos would replace Sam as Jon's right hand and advisor. Oh well.
He made it pretty clear in the last several episodes that he would be marching on Winterfell no matter what. It was obviously not a smart gambit, especially after half his army deserted, but he had committed to it regardless of their chances. Had he not, he would've lost all credibility and momentum. His campaign would have been finished if he retreated, there was no "live to fight another day" scenario here.
There was a heavy snow storm, Stannis' men aren't accustomed to the weather and Ramsay's are.
Jaqen is no one. He's a face worn by at least two people, maybe more. They all act like the same person because the training conditions to them to essentially become the same non-person.

The way I saw it it was the Many-Faced God taking back what Sanya wasn't allowed to take. She took Meryn Trant's eyesight and then his life, Jaqen gave up that guy's life (to save her, I assume) but she still had to give up her eyesight.
yes?

Who did Arya first meet when she went to the house of black and white? and what did he sound like?
You need to become no one to become someone.
Fuck this show. I saw Jon's death coming as soon as Sam got shipped off but it still fucking sucked to see.
Pretty entertaining episode but there was WAAAAAAYYYYY too much going on. I do not and never will understand why they could not have shared around a lot of the plot climaxes earlier in the season. Cersei's walk could have been placed in Ep7-9 and it would have worked better and allowed more time to flesh out the other story lines. Bah.

I have no fucking idea what was going on with those scenes. Unless this was all some crazy Arya fever dream, they're now actual magical shapeshifters? Now someone is going to reply to this post with "um excuse me but if you had been paying attention to season 3 episode fuckwit you would have KNOWN that they were shapeshifters for sure ages ago".
