I agree, of course they probably want much more, but there is a way to finish shows without having to artificially extend its life. And splitting seasons like AMC did for Breaking Bad is not a good way to go about it.

Still think in some areas the show will still be ahead. I have a feeling anything to do with the White Walkers was stuff GRRM was saving for ADOS, especially the info about how the Children created them.

They aren't splitting seasons, it's a reality of their production pipeline in order to air the show every 12 months. They are maxed at being able to make 10 episodes right now, it's not like they are shooting multiple seasons later year and we won't get to see it all until later.
Breaking Bad did not start this.

She is not showing up tonight... please don't listen to book readers. In fact, I really hope she never shows because it was a terrible addition in the books.
Not everything George writes is precious.

She wont show up.
thats what I believe however 
She kills Lannisters and Freys and looks awesome doing it.
That said, I have a feeling Arya (or maybe The Hound) will be killing Freys in the show since they need karmic justice for the Red Wedding but clearly don't want to introduce Stoneheart.

Leaks shouldn't be posted. I didn't click on it, but still.. not here, yo. Lol
Really?
So what do folks think the body count is going to look like in King's Landing tonight?
Methinks:
Tommen is going to die.
High Sparrow is probably going to die.
I imagine either Loras or Margaery dies but not both (Olenna needs some young blood to interact with). Probably going to be Loras.
Pycelle, Lancel, and Kevan are probably all ending up dead.
Qyburn is probably safe.
Mace is probably safe.

Not much of a spoiler at all, but yeah prolly should remove it anyway.

Jon and Sansa arguing before the battle is such a powerful scene for me, especially on this re-watch. Scenes like that are what make me appreciate this show so much. Yeah, the massive battles are dragons are awesome also, but it's the character moments that glue it all together.

100% Dead
1. Tommen
2. High Sparrow
3. Lancel
Loras will probably be horribly disfigured from wild fire burns.

Kevan, Lancel and Pycell are top on my Death list.
I think Tommen is going to hang on a little bit longer, same with Margary.
I don't get how Jon becomes King with Sansa still around. Who even knows about Robb legitimizing him? And even if he was legitimized, I can't imagine Sansa will lie down while Jon is named Lord of Winterfell.

I think he becomes King for saving the North.
Not exactly for his name.
That might be the next tension between Sansa and Jon. The Northerners declaring Jon KitN.

Almost the entire army loyal to Jon is dead, and Sansa has her Sugardaddy's army.
Hopefully the series ends with the fun adventures of him and Ser Pounce
The Northerners who denied Jon didn't fight against Jon.

I don't buy this whole sansa turning on anyone thing. They'll unite. If anything Sansa will support Jon being king. Or maybe sansa becomes queen who knows.

The Hound is a better fighter than the Mountain. None of the heavy hitters really had too much respect for the Mountain, he's just a big brute. Even Bronn would have taken him on for the right price. Everyone respected the Hound's fighting abilities.
The Hound had zero trouble holding his own against the Mountain at the tournament, even though he was deliberately holding back while the Mountain was full-on trying to kill him.

I chalk up Sana not telling Jon about the Army simply to bad writing, and them wanting that Rohan moment.
But I still can't see Sansa stepping aside for Jon.

I think Sansa has had enough of being the wife of ambitious/scummy men who want to use her simply because of her blood to rule something. If she has to be queen at least let her be queen by herself and have Jon go around with his wildling buddies recruiting people to fight against the ice zombies.

I don't see Jon actually wanting the post. I think he'll be the first to declare for Sansa actually.

he's had enough of being a leader with scummy people who'll stab him in the back. Let Sansa do it.

You might have noticed from watching the series that being legitimate has nothing to do with being a king. The king in the north was made up to begin with!
They could both be king of the north and bran could be king of the north, north. It is all about the swords.
