She was great.
Yup, it's hard writing a story from scratch. And yet, there are so many people who give Martin a hard time because it takes him a while to create this incredible world.

Guys I still cry when I watch the hold the door scene
Manipulative ass music gets me every time. Do we have a standalone version of the song?

Mace walks out completely unhurt. People start bowing to him.
"What does this mean?"
"What does this mean?"
What do you reckon will be the cause of what you're predicting?
Wildfire, the Faith Militant, the Mountain, or something else?
Cersei blowing up the Sept of Baelor with Wildfire seems very likely considering her conversation with Qyburn two episodes ago.
The show is hinting pretty obviously that
Wildfire will play a part in the final episode. There's Bran's visions as well as numerous references to it.

Marge too? Damn that sucks but I guess it makes sense that anyone and everyone who could possible take control after Tommen dies needs to also bite it.
Still a better character than Ros
Darkstar was in 6 quick pages
Ros took 20 minutes of my life
Is being entertaining and well-written too much to ask for?
I don't even need everything from the books. I just want some logic in the show and to honor the spirit of the books. That's all I actually want.
I would've been okay with it if Ros had been the show's version of Shae.
But she ended up just being a flat character to see much more interesting characters talk to and flash her tits.
I suppose that's also Shae (but even Shae had more depth) but I only need one of those not two.
And then they used her for a shocking death. CHAOSH IS A LADDAH
Why is it binary with you people? Making the show more intelligent or nuanced doesn't mean it would have to be less entertaining.

Probably not raped. I think Joffrey had no interest in sex.
Definitely snow.
"Snow" is on the throne when she walks in
There's also a blue rose( R+L=J) behind the Iron Throne in that vision too
I used to give the show shit for their version of the HOTU but it's not bad
This season was so light on Margaery, it'll feel kind of anticlimactic to lose her here. Also if this pans out, them sending Olenna away earlier in the season totally seems like a way of getting her and the Tyrell army away so Varys can get her onto Team Dany. I would imagine if Marg and Loras and Mace are all dead, there'd really be nothing holding her back from sending the Tyrell army against Cersei.

Loras is horribly burned in the books, maybe that's the thread they're exploring here.
Is he, though? Is he really?

Let's not forget Tommen is supposed to die (Cersei's prophecy) at some point, maybe she will beat the religious nuts with fire or swords, but in the chaos, she will provoke his death.
I would totally bet on that happening. I think by the end of this episode our cast of named King's Landing characters could be down to just Cersei, and maybe Qyburn and the Mountain.

I'd find it interesting if tommen dies and Kings landing/westeros is ran by religion. I mean there would be cersei and Margaery but neither has claim to the throne.

No way does Tommen die without Sparrow dying too.
I mean, if this KL and Frey stuff happens like some are thinking, who is left that was somewhat a leader from before?
North: Civil War might have just ended, shitload of people dead.
Riverlands: Non stop war on top of whatever happens to the Freys.
Reach: Olenna as the BTS leader?
Dorne: ShowDorne is lead by some lady Oberyn had kids with.
Westerlands: Who the fuck knows, place might as well not exist.
Stormlands: Does anyone live here anymore, or are they all dead from losing battles?
Vale: LittleFinger by Proxy
Iron Islands: Still looking for those trees.
LittleFinger pretty much has it in the bag, right?

Every Kings Landing character whose names aren't Cersei or Qyburn are dying Sunday. That's why they purposely chased Olenna out so that she'd actually survive next season.
Margy and Tommen will be our big deaths for the season, just like how Stannis was sacrificed to the God of Surprising Deaths last season.

Walder Frey is also dying but only the hardcore even know who the fuck he is.
Dany has wasted her time, building up an impressive army, ships, and 3 dragons. She's going to come rushing to shore, looking to start The War, only to find...

I'm curious of Jaime and King's Landing/Bolton army will go to fight for control of the North. Seems like it won't be necessary. I expect that with Winterfell claimed the Starks will amass their forces again, let the wildlings settle, and maybe go get revenge on the betraying forces.
Also turn over Winterfell to that scary looking girl riding the horse.

What I think will happen (FOR DRAMA!) will be what The North's next step should be. Sansa will want to work on going south for revenge and Jon will want to work on getting as many people (even enemies) to realize what's coming, that everyone is required to even have a chance.
That, plus the whole "lack of trust" thing that has to happen after TBOTB, will probably cause something to happen.
Ok so everyone think that the rumor that Cersei ordered Qyburn to investigate are the caches of wildfire buried underneath King's Landing.
But back in season 2, the show had already established that Cersei knew about the wildfire and in fact commissioned the pyromancers to make more to burn Stannis' fleet at Blackwater:

Are the writers forgetting this? Or is the rumor something else?

Yeah i really do hope that Jon and the Wildlings didn't forget about the scary looking ice zombies trying to climb over the wall, and go warn as many people as they can of what's coming.
But I expect many fat pampered lords "LAWL NO SUCH THINGS"

Guesses on final shot of season?
Any guesses that aren't R+L=J?

If KL starts to burn, no way can Jaime muster his forces to go North when all that shit is going down in the South. If Marg, Loras, and Mace bite it, you can kiss the Lannister/Tyrell alliance bye and we'll likely see all out war between the Lannisters/Freys and everyone else. Not to mention if Tommen dies then no "legitimate" king to order anything.
You're forgetting someone:
Randall Tarly will finally crawl out of show prison and put that WORK in. The Tarlys are sworn to Tyrells, but they haven't really involved their forces yet and with the Blackfish now dead; he's the last legitimate oldschool badass commander left the show has to work with.

Probably. The show's pretty committed to ending every plot that's not directly connected to Jon or Dany. Which is a shame because there's a really cool plot hidden there where Arya and the Brotherhood fight to take out the Freys. Instead she's gonna teleport there tomorrow and kill off Walder with relative ease, making us all wonder why no one bothered to kill him for the last three seasons. But alas it'll be all to show us that she actually learned something these last two seasons.
Brotherhood's probably fucked too if they don't find Jon soon.
Always took this that she knew of Wildfire existing (as generally alot of people did), and wanted the Pyromancer's to make it to defend the city (City had less guards to defend, so using a deadly weapon to bolster the defense would make sense).
So, the Pyromancer's made some wildfire, they didn't go grab the old supply of wildfire, which may have been a rumor.
Trying to remember, when was it stated in the show first, that Wildfire under KL existed? Was it Jaime talking to Brienne in the baths? Did Tyrion actually mention this fact ever?
Well, I thought of him, but he's like an "underboss." I could have thrown out Royce at the Vale, or Howland Reed.If KL starts to burn, no way can Jaime muster his forces to go North when all that shit is going down in the South.

It'll be Dany and Co on ships heading to Westeros. That scene has been built up too much to not be a season ender.
They already ended on Dany twice so I hope it's something new.
