Spoiler:

Yeah. Got to imagine everyone at Eastwatch and The Wall are done for

Bran is our last hope against the Dead Army. The boy about to tap into all that power and save Westeros after all the memes and jokes fired his way

Spoiler:

Also. I hope Bronn catches up with Jaime. I need Jaime and Bronn teaming up with the good guys to fight the Night King. That would be too beautiful.

Spoiler:

so much has got to resolve in the next series, its going to be action all the way

[Shaun]

Spoiler:

Jaime being offed by Cersei (I'll ignore that it's a bit ridiculous since she spared Tyrion) pretty much clears the way for a Jaime/Brienne moment doesn't it she deserves better.

[bitontheslide]

Spoiler:

its pretty obvious Dany is going to be pregnant too

Spoiler:

Consider I've Tormund looks to be dead(. I shipped them hard). It has to be Jaime and Brienne now. Meh, I can live with it.

Solid episode. I'm not sure how I feel about Jon's name really being what it is though. There is a seperate living character in the book with the same name who invades Westeros before Daenerys does, seems a bit crap if they do just bind them both together (even if it is just a name).

Spoiler:

Think my favourite scene was probably the Theon and Jon conversation. Theon really needed to hear that, and everything Jon said will also apply to himself next season when he finds out that he isn't a Stark either. Great acting from both too.

Littlefinger... I'm glad he's dead but I'll kinda miss him. Always enjoy that actor in everything he pops up in, and considering he orchestrated pretty much everything we've seen happen (besides the Walkers) it'll be a shame he doesn't see it out until the end. Good death though, outwitted by the girl he taught the game to, and finished off by both her and Arya who he severely underestimated.

Glad that the Wall finally came down and the Walkers crossed. Interested to see how they drag it out for 6 episodes now though, surely they'll arrive at Winterfell in Episode 1 because it's a fairly short journey, and you'd imagine Jon and Dany will already be there. Not sure how they can defeat them really..... I think Tormund and Beric are still alive, we didn't see them die so there is no way they actually are. They'll probably link up with Edd and the remaining Night's Watch members from Castle Black (as the Walkers crossed at Eastwatch which is much further along) and trail the army of dead.

The Cersei and Jaime scene was really good and for a moment I actually thought he was going to die. He had enough of Cersei's crap quite early in the books so it's great to see that FINALLY happen in the show. Like Leon said hopefully Bronn goes with him, no point in him remaining in King's Landing now really. The shot of the snow arriving in KL was a good touch too.

Bran and Sam conversation and then voiceover explaining everything was great.

Only thing missing for me really was a battle between the Hound and Mountain. Been waiting forever for it and really thought we were getting it this week. Hard to see how it will ever happen now.

[Locke.]

Some good theories here from Reddit for next season. The second from bottom one would actually be pretty incredible, I hope something similar to it happens.

Spoiler:

The good guys march on to Winterfell and defend it against the Night King.

Cersei sent Euron over to ferry the Golden Company, but Theon gets in his way. Theon saves Yara and dies, at the same time killing Euron. Euron's flagship sinks along with the remaining gold; Golden Company slips back to Essos. -END of THEON, YARA, EURON arc-

Cersei, in a desperate gambit, marches all her forces north to confront Daenerys/Jon while they're weakened. Hound meets Mountain in combat. CLEGANEBOWL GET MOTHER****IN' HYPED! Hound is mortally wounded but says '**** it' and uses fire to kill his brother (because The Mountain is undead, durrrr!) -END OF HOUND/MOUNTAIN/CLEGANEBOWL arc-

Cersei tries to get Qyburn to blast the dead and Daenerys/Jon armies with wildfire but Jaime stops the plan. Qyburn dies and his experiment fails. Cersei surrounded by wildfire. Jaime joins Cersei to die in the flames. -END OF CERSEI/JAIME arc-

Jon tries to fight NK using good ol' Longclaw but finds that it has no effect. It can only kill the WW lieutenants but not the big bad endgame boss himself. NK tosses Jon away and he's knocked unconscious.

Un-Viserion kills Rhaegal who also gets zombified. NK with two un-dragons attacks Dany's forces. Drogon joins the fight and kills both un-Viserion and un-Rhaegal but is also mortally wounded. Drogon dies - the last dragon. -END OF DRAGON arc-

Dany falls of Drogon and NK clutches her by the throat. Dany shouts to Jon who wakes up. She bids Jon to 'finish it' - and Jon plunges Longclaw thru both Dany and NK. Because the Azor Ahai prophecy means that he must kill his 'wife' in the end, Jon fulfills it by killing Dany. Dany bursts into magical flames and so does the sword - turning into pure magical energy. The flames burn thru the Night King and destroy him. -END OF DANY and NIGHT KING-

Jon returns to Winterfell and is told that he is a Targ and not a Stark. Jon and Sansa then get married - a Targaryen on the Iron Throne, and a Stark remaining in Winterfell. Arya and Gendry meet again and decide to go on an adventure, they stop by an inn to meet Hot Pie. Sam becomes Bran's new Hodor.

overall, a really great series for me. Definitely one of my favourites

mine too

Just rewatched the finale

Spoiler:

Found the final scene with the White Walkers attacking much more effective this time around. Think I was too on the edge of my seat to take it in first time round.

Agree though, this was my favourite season since S3.

Spoiler:

the wall coming down was outstanding.

This episode had so many good bits. Littlefinger being taken out with a flick from Arya, Jon and Dany getting together while Jon's heritage was revealed . Having no balls being an advantage at several plot points ... i mean wtf .... So many highlights in one episode, i couldn't list them all

Overall thoughts

Spoiler:

not surprised Cersei double crossed Dany, I expected it to begin with, but not the second time when she agreed to it, genuinely thought Jamie was going to kill her and fulfill the prophecy

Jamie's obv gonna ride north, catch up with Dany and tell them about cerseis double crossing

Can't believe no one has actually asked dan what the **** is going on and they're just letting him sit by a tree on his own and know it all by himself

The ending skfgshfa I can't even, why is Viserion rotted so much already, the cold would surely preserve him more, the wall coming down was amazing, can't believe we have to wait a year and here's only SIX episodes left, gah!

OH also, there is no way Jon will accept the throne, Dany is the one with the dragons and the army she is the one who has come to conquer, she won't just hand it over

[Adamw92]

I am shook. I don't know if I can survive the wait until Season 8 though.

Also

Spoiler:

BOAT SEX.

That is all.

[Brother Leon]

Still think S6 was better, but this was a very enjoyable season. I actually enjoyed the fast pace.

[Tom4784]

I thought it was pretty great, one of the better finales.

Spoiler:

I still don't think that the Army of the Dead is the end game though, unless the Night King can talk and they develop him into an actual character and not just a force of nature then he won't be the main villain. The White Walkers are the framing device that provides spectacle, not the main attraction.

I'm so disappointed in Cersei </3 Bitch should have helped and then betrayed everyone when they were weakened after fighting.

I'm glad they finally bumped Littlefinger off, it was a weak end but it redeemed Sansa and Arya's terrible arcs this season. He probably should have been given a bigger ending back when he was still relevant tbh.

I loved the bit with The Hound and Brienne and also Brienne telling Jamie to **** honour to get Cersei on side was rather wonderful. I hope Brienne gets more screentime next season.

Bran finally telling someone about Jon It only took him a ****ing season to do so. Poor Sam still not knowing what happened to his family though.

The ending was spectacular although it does bother me that Viserion is still able to fly with MASSIVE HOLES IN HIS WINGS! I don't think Tormund is dead though, They would have shown it on screen given that he is a fan favourite character. They only give offscreen deaths to flop characters like Stannis.

Also was that Viserys' actor playing Rhaegar? It looked a lot like him.

Spoiler:

I dunno, it took the dragon a good few minutes to take down the wall, in theory enough time for them to rappel down the other side and start riding west (along the wall). The AotD head straight south once they're through the wall so, so long as they were off the wall, they could feasibly have survived.

Spoiler:

Randomly one of my fav moments of the episode... Sansa and Arya...

Arya: "I believe that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me..."
Sansa: "Well... don't get used to it... you're still very strange and annoying."

Such a rando genuine "sibling moment" thrown it with all the drama. Plus she IS quite strange...

Spoiler:

i think they'll have just ran along the wall rather than down it, you saw tormund watch as parts started to fall so it wouldn't surprise me

Spoiler:

i actually like Arya a lot more now than Sansa, i like tough badass girls, while sometimes not all the times i find Sansa a bit whiny, just a bit though

[Brother Leon]

Spoiler:

Still a little pissed that we have to wait 2 years or so for a Jon and Arya reunion .

[Smithy]

It's not going to be 2019, they start filming in October, so probs it'll be oct/Nov next year when it airs

That would be a lot more reasonable. Not sure where I got 2 years from
