Spoiler: Probably already a theory somebody's had but I was impressed with myself for coming up with it (click to show/hide)

Jon's half Targaryen and has no way of knowing it. Bran's probably not ever going to get a chance to tell him, maybe he's afraid to do psychic shit since he fucked up Hodor when the time came, he's probably not going to go south of the Wall again (probably).

At the end of the series, Jon and Dany meet up because Song of Ice and Fire, and become King and Queen, and the whole cycle of incest and insanity continues, keeping with the theme of seasons being incredibly important: after Winter comes Summer, and then Winter must come again...

Spoiler: HYPE (click to show/hide)

It has not been said directly I think, and even if I couldn't hear the fucking whispers clearly, but even then it's pretty much confirmed. The way the scenes were arranged made it pretty clear.

Also... by the Emperor, before the episode I thought I will be fucking dissapointed but instead I am just simply amazed. Even the weakest part, Sam's arrival in Oldtown was pretty cool due to some shoots (ravens leaving the Citadel) and also due to that fucking maester.

In the end, the episode just ends in more hype. DA KING IN DA NORF!
DA KING IN DA NORF!!!

Also Cleganebowl get hype, Jaimie killing the Mad Queen, Daenerys doing shit finally and also VARYS TELEPORTATION SKILLS.

[Sheb]

I must say, the one redeeming part of the whole episode was Lady Cutemont. I had more pleasure watching her two minutes of glory that the rest of the episode.

The rest seemed rushed, with the usual teleportation. News travel instantly. Death are rushed, but we just don't care, people dies without charisma. Cheap CGI just feel like fillers for the fact that they don't have good characters anymore. Like how many characters died in this one episode? Yes, I just can't care.

Also, are the dragons going to fly non-stop for the whole trip?

[Loud Whispers]

Ohohoho, I think we just discovered where D&D excel - bloody, shocking grrrmmmmmdark

I'm still watching the finale but the first 15 min are proving themselves to not only be a departure from the books, but a bloody damn well excellent one that was executed near-perfectly. The signs were there to boot :D

[Kot]

The rest seemed rushed, with the usual teleportation.

Spoiler: Yeah, the last scene, with Varys. (click to show/hide)

And not because Varys teleported. It's because Martell and Tyrell ships are already in the fleet. Not only Varys teleported.

To be truly honest, writing is going down. D&D are bad and there is basically nothing redeeming about them... but Miguel Sapochnik is fucking god. His every episode was truly amazing, he is turning shit into diamonds. Actors are also all great, they make it all feel real.

Spoiler: Light of the Seven (click to show/hide)

The King's Landing scenes were great. The music was perfect, the scenes, the waiting, Lancel's helpless race against time, Tommen watching King's Landing. It all had this feeling of a plot/trap, events slowly unfolding. Then there was High Septon's face when he realized that his triumph was turned into ash...
And then it went off.
My favourite scene when it comes to drama was Tommen laying down his crown. That kid took King's Landing too fucking literal. I did not expect.

Spoiler: Winter has Come (click to show/hide)

Lyanna talking down grown men was glorious. Also Baelish pose and even damn placement was great.
DA KING IN DA NORF!!!

EDIT:
Spoiler.

[Loud Whispers]

The musical score in the finale actually managed to one-up the Red God's theme, musical score 10/10

Norf Scene and preluding intrigue setup (including Salsa's acting as she realizes shit just went down, 10/10), I agree Kot, CIA's placement everywhere was perfect
King's Landing everything, 10/10. CGI was lacking but, eh, Cersei's actress and the Court of the Seven's actors killed it, including the repurposed Varys plot making all the fucking sense. Dat end closing shot harkening back to S1, some point along the way Cersei plotline became Richard III and it makes the show so much richer for it
Riverlands Scene without spoiling too much (someone just broke a serious guestright rule) 10/10
Dany scenes were the usual crap, but D&D abandon a lot of the usual bullshit plotlines, and to sum up Tyrion's optimism: Stuff is actually happening, 4/10

Basically acting in this one was some of the best the show's ever produced, the musical score was the best the show has ever produced, the writing was passable (at this point, just ignore plot holes. It's worth it, and that's coming from me), Miguel Sapochnik is the 20GOODGOD we have been waiting for. Of all the worthwhile characters, none were underutilized, even in death (cept maybe one certain character I shall not spoil anywho), but you definitely get the sense that it's all coming to a close. And everything really is. Dank episode

*EDIT
Sam Tarly plotline a shit, weakest one by far, and of all the things to steal from, Brendon Fraser mirrors are not one of them (least of all in a library)
Otherwise, dankest episode

Yep, Tommy "fuck this I'm out" Baratheon

[Kot]

Yeah, I dislike Sam's plotline pretty hard. I wish he just got cut down or at least confronted by his brother, the "took the sword and walked out" plothole is way too big for me. The only redeeming quality was the Maester, though I actually liked the mirrors and stuff. The orrery is actually the same as the "sun" from the intro.

That kid took King's Landing too fucking literal.

Can't get enough of this joke. I have read it like 100 times and I'm still laughing.

EDIT:
Also, even Bad Poosi couldn't spoil it.

[Comrade P.]

Still wondering what will become of Arya.
Figure she's gonna cross paths with the Red Woman again.

[Sheb]

Well, who's left on the teleporting assassin's kill list? Jaime? Cersei?

R + L = J. Rhaegar Targaryen + Lyanna Stark = Jon Starkgaryen.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Never watched the series (read the books), but Jon Snow is Edaard Stark's bastard not Lyanna's. It'd take some major plot convolutions to pull that 1.

[Comrade P.]

Well, who's left on the teleporting assassin's kill list? Jaime? Cersei?

Cersei is definitely there... Come to think of it, both Clegane brothers are.
