I think the consensus is no.
Really freaked the unsullied out though.

I agree with the others who already predicted that bronn is fucked and probably going down oakheart/hotah/darkstar storyline.
From what I can remember back when his death was reported, it seemed as if he had filmed more than one scene, as he passed just four days after beginning filming. So, yes, that seems like the case.
From the show's perspective, they were lucky to have filmed the most important one, so that they can still benefit from Mallister's inclusion. Not to mention J. J. Murphy himself had his final appearance on the biggest show in the world.
Edit: Here's the original source. Confirms "scenes" plural.
Edit 2: There was no "In memory of J. J. Murphy" at the end of this episode, was there? That's either an oversight, or another small scene of his might be included in a future episode.
No greyjoys. Dany already has her ships even though they have never bothered to show them
Yes.
Dany already has all the ships she needs to invade Westeros, now they just have to clean up Mereen and that's it.
I want Lavarm more than anyone, but seeing how they are writing the new stuf... I almost prefer not to have him cast.
I remember him looking too evil in his season1 appearance. He seems fine now though
Christ. What a bottle job. Would've prolongued the book content as well, rather than fly through to the point of no return and deliver a diluted product to boot.
Just not that arsed about the show, in all honesty. It's sub-par compared to the books and coasting on the world thats already established.

Honestly a lot of the current content is heading towards stuff that dragged for fucking ages. Danny's chapters were an absolute slog for me, so it's of little consequence personally. The faster they get to the pits the better imo on that end. There was simply too much meandering for my tastes and if they can cut that out then fuck it.

I agree, but I felt like his dialogue during the head scene laid it on a little too thick. I think it'd work better if it was more "I will dispose of the body" as opposed to "I use dismembered body parts in my work"

Because it require balls to stand up to that

I'm still hoping in the back of my mind that the only reason they scrapped the Ironborn plot this season is because the last scene will be the Kingsmoot and it will end with everyone seeing The Silence coming over the horizon and Daario=Euron will step off the ship.
On a related note, I was highly disappointed that the show omitted the "Tywin Lannister does not shit gold" line from his final scene,
I mean, he was killed on the toilet....how do you not keep that line?
That was in Tyrions head though. Would be strange it have him say it there and then to himself.
Speaking that line out loud to no one would have been absurd.
It'd sound pretty stupid spoken aloud to be honest, as great a line as it is it's only in Tyrion's head.
Edit: Beaten slightly...
Do a voiceover, or work it into it somehow. That line was good.

I don't think it would have translated well into that medium. they surely thought about it, but it would probably have been too much comedy for that scene.
You're probably right about the comedy aspect of it.
I would also accept if they could work it into one of the conversations Tyrion is having with Varys this season (or last season). That wouldn't kill the mood of the death scene and still kept the line.
A voiceover? Come on, man.
Might as well just have him deliver the line right into the camera and follow it with a laugh track.

This isn't fucking Arrested Development.
Thankfully, it seems that ship has sailed.
you mean butchering the stag?
Is a stag not a deer?
I love Arrested Westeros.
Dany's storyline is godawful to be honest, so I'm inclined to agree that the faster they get through it the better
not for the purposes of *~symbolism~*
I'm so glad I read this post of yours. I've read a bit further in book 3 and I caught a subtle hint at Loras's sexuality when Jaime first re-appears in King's Landing with Brienne, and Loras accuses Brienne of murdering Renly and tries to slay her himself. Jaime says something like "I am Lord Commander of the Kingsguard you little pup! Put your sword away or I'll shove it somewhere even Renly did not find!" aka a play on shoving something up someone's bum, and a reference to Loras's and Renly's bedplay... something I would not have caught if I did not check out these posts and look for subtle references like this.
And the way Loras slays Emmon and Robas in a fit of rage in Book 2 makes a bit more sense now. He was deeply in love with Renly and then Renly mysteriously dies. I should stress that I knew Loras was gay thanks to the show, but now I'm much happier to catch subtle cues like this in the book, after realizing the book won't ever explicitly say "Loras is gay".
This has definitely been my favourite book so far. I'm at the Jon Snow chapter where Jon and Stannis eventually meet each other at the Wall (don't know the specifics yet but I skipped to the end of the chapter and saw randomly that Stannis speaks with Jon). I recently read the Jaime chapter where he holds interviews with each of the members of the Kingsguard. I was absolutely blown away - I'm so excited about that chapter I basically gave an excited verbal synopsis to my brother. I adore two aspects of this chapter: 1) It serves as a wonderful refresher on each member of the Kingsguard. I always knew Ser Meryn Trant was the piece of shit who would beat Sansa bloody (and that he is the one who killed a baby at a mother's breast), but I couldn't make heads or tails of Ser Boros Blount versus Ser Balon Swann. The chapter made it perfectly clear what each member's personality is like (and thankfully it let us know why only five of the Kingsguard sat with Jaime - because Ser Arys Oakheart was in Dorne protecting Myrcella). and 2) One by one Jaime performs his interviews, starting with the biggest piece of human scum (Trant), making sure to interview him in full view the other brothers of the Kingsguard, then dismissing him, then doing the same with the second biggest piece of scum (Blount), and so on, until Loras is alone with Jaime.
I'm sad they never had a scene like this in Season 3/4.

What will the BIG thing be in this season's 9th episode, you reckon? I can only imagine the Pits.

Pits are a certainty, and the Walk of Atonement is a possibility.
There's a show-original battle happening at Hardhome in episode 8, so they're spacing the big moments out again.
Gotta be either the pit or possibly an extended Jon murder scene with some of his friends going down trying to defend him.

You only have to look to D&D since they're the ones in charge.
It was odd since I'm pretty sure they referenced it earlier in the season didn't they?
They've said that they want to move away from Ep 9 containing the huge event because it's become too predictable, but we'll see
Personally I think it'll go:
Ep 7-8: Battle of Hardhome
Ep 8: Cersei's Penance Walk
Ep 9: Pits
Ep 10: Dany & Drogon encounter with Dothraki + Varys kills Pycelle & Kevan + Jon's stabbing

I think Episode 9 will have Battle of Winterfell
We don't know much about what has happened there, I think it's happening this season.
