Also if Arya could get to the Frey's why didn't she go home and see her family? Is she that set on vengeance now that she no longer cares?
And how can she use another face if she gave up on being a faceless man? Are they just like masks? Seems a bit crude. I thought they still had some magic behind it from the many faced god.
I always sorta kinda not really liked Margaery but I'm not even really sad about it. #mixedfeelings
I'm sad. I liked her. She was smart, and even though she was all about getting ahead, she was still at least nice to people. I hope Olenna gets some mad revenge.
I'll be back in the morning! My parents planned a last minute dinner tonight and I got home late so we just finished. As much as I want to catch up now I need to go to bed.
I don't think it'd that Cersei *wanted* Tommen to die, but had already accepted that it was going to happen. She knew how much he loved Marge.
I think she already considered him gone, if that makes sense.
This. I don't think she expected it this soon, and was too wrapped up in her own schemes once again to see what was happening to her kids, but I think she had accepted the fact that he would eventually die too.

That was a great finale! Tied up a lot of stories and a great setup for next season. The final scene with the ships was amazing! I can't wait to see what happens when they arrive. It looks like next season is going to be all about the women.
Even though I read about the wild fire theories ahead of time, I was still like "holy shit" when it happened. Cersei is definitely the mad queen.
WE FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE TOWER OF JOY!! I was tearing up when it happened and the way they cut from baby Jon to adult Jon was awesome.
I loved Lady Olenna! I was laughing through that whole scene. I can't stand the sand snakes so it was perfect. I didn't know where they were going with the whole Dorne scene but was happy to see Varys there.
And yes! Walder Frey is dead! I hope Arya continues towards Winterfell and finally sees her family.
LF realizing Sansa would not be the "head" of the Stark house. He told her that he only acts when it helps his own vision of being on the Iron Throne and this doesn't help. Makes me worry that he will try to kill Jon Snow or otherwise ruin his claim.
Let's hope Arya comes to Winterfell and Sansa "names a name" heh heh
Also where is the actual Nymeria. I love me some assassin Arya, but if she meets back up with Nymeria I could die happy. Then they could go seek vengeance for the other Starks/direwolves.
I would seriously ugly cry. Also, where the F is ghost?
I made it finally! They really did finally give us everything we wanted...and it feels so good!
My thoughts:
I get why the next seasons will be smaller - the game has gotten narrowed down considerably.
Jon Snow v. Dany v. Cersei v. Dorne
Of those 4 big players, I am hoping for an alliance between Dorne and Dany to wipe out Cersei, then at the last second Dany's dragons will be brought up north to kill the White Walkers (or be used to make a ton of Valyrian steel which we know kills WW) Oh, and Dany would get to discover that Jon is her nephew via Bran Stark somehow?
- I had a feeling that wildfire was going to be used! I had no idea that so many characters would die. Cersei is one crazy bitch. I think that Joffrey dying triggered a whole series of self-fulfilling prophecies regarding her children. It was tactless for her to not be with Tommen when the city burned - she valued her enjoyment of that scene more than being there to support Tommen. She's gone full-selfish and that is some scary shit. As much as I didn't like the the SHAME nun lady, I think letting the Mountain brutalize her is really messed up. I actually felt sick about it I wish she could have just executed her.
- Arya! SHE IS SO CLOSE TO HOME. And she is so so so so brutal. Dayum. I really hope she gets to see Jon and Sansa. I will cry big fat tears. It's hard to imagine them all back together after all the horror they've all been through. By the way, how will word get out about the Freys? Just some raven shows up "Um, all the Freys are dead? IDK how.."
- Lady Olenna + Sand Snakes + Varys (who loves Dany) = CERSEI GONNA GET WRECKED.
- Gilly looked gorgeous, and I friggin love baby Sam. He is so stinkin' cute all the time. Samwell walking through the stacks was adorable. I hope Gilly finds something productive to do in Old Town though, I felt bad that she was just waiting around for him.
- R + L = J CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED! Hey, have we seen Jon get hit with fire/burned at all? I wonder if he is able to withstand burning too...
- Davos made me cry. I'm glad he confronted Melisandre, and while she deserves execution she did redeem herself pretty hard by bringing Jon back. For all her sins she is responsible for a naked Jon Snow so...
- Little Finger is so so creepy. Thanks for helping them win against the Boltons, but you can go die now kthx
- That shot of Dany coming to Westeros on the ships was everything. Where will they strike land? I am assuming/hoping Dorne so as to begin that alliance. I worry the sand snakes will be jealous of Dany but hopefully they will see her supreme skills and dragons and just team up.
Also if Arya could get to the Frey's why didn't she go home and see her family? Is she that set on vengeance now that she no longer cares?
And how can she use another face if she gave up on being a faceless man? Are they just like masks? Seems a bit crude. I thought they still had some magic behind it from the many faced god.

This. I don't think she expected it this soon, and was too wrapped up in her own schemes once again to see what was happening to her kids, but I think she had accepted the fact that he would eventually die too.
I feel like she knew it would be right away. The whole getting dressed scene, I think she knew she would be crowned by the end of the day.
housecarder I'm not sure, but I think there is a magic to the masks and Arya knows it. I think she learned the ways and then abandoned the "mission" of the many faced gods.
However, I don't know if she is making faces in Westeros or if she took faces with her or if she can just skin-change at this point?
That was frickin' amazing. Perfect end to the season.
My one prediction is that Arya will kill Cersei. Without something of that magnitude, Cersei is going to end up winning the whole damn game, because DAMN.
I don't think she knew Tommen would kill himself. I do think she accepted once Joffrey died that all of her children would die, but I don't really think she expected that. That being said, now she has a one-track mind.
I don't think Tommen killed himself bc of his love of Margaery. I think he realized what he had done: disenfranchising his mother, which led to the death of damn near everything. He felt immense guilt and knew he was powerless to stop Cersei.
- That shot of Dany coming to Westeros on the ships was everything. Where will they strike land? I am assuming/hoping Dorne so as to begin that alliance. I worry the sand snakes will be jealous of Dany but hopefully they will see her supreme skills and dragons and just team up.
I think there's already an alliance with Dorne/Sand Snakes, the Tyrells and Dany. Varys was on the ship in the last scene and you can see the Tyrell sigil on some of the ships in the background. I assume the Sand Snakes are on board since they were the ones that called Lady Olenna.
For some reason as soon as he walked off screen I was expecting to hear some sort of death noises. Maybe him hanging himself. Was really surprised to see him come back and just walk out the window!!
She's gonna lose her ever loving mind when she finds out.
I was seriously expecting her to go ape shit when she found out. She was scary calm. Which I think from Cersei is even scarier than an obvious freak out.
MH and I refer to him as Filch when we talk about him too because MH doesn't remember all the characters names all the time. Filch is just easier than reminding him who Walder Frey is.
Loved the "why do we need you then" burn from Jamie.
