Naw, this would end up being even more of a zombie show.
Anyone want to guess chances of characters dying tonight?
I give Jamie a 60% chance of dying, possibly while saving Myrcella from Ellaria. I'm giving Bronn a 70% chance, Doran an 80% chance, and Ellaria a 90% chance.
Based on the title, I'm giving Cersei a 30% chance of dying, but a 100% chance of going through something awful this episode. I think Margaret will come out alright. I want the High Sparrow to marry Cersei and Loras to punish them both, but it's going to be something much worse.
I'm giving Stannis an 80% chance of dying, Roose a 90% chance, Ramsay a 70% chance, and Brienne a 40% chance. I can't wait to see blood magic at work again.
The only one I'm 100% sure dies this episode is Ellaria, after she tries some poorly planned shit again. Other likely candidates: Bronn, Myrcella, Myranda, maybe Ramsay, maybe-maybe Stannis.
I'd also say Selyse is a safe bet, but it doesn't have to be necessarily tonight. The grief will definitely get her tho.
Jaime's not a goner yet. He was the least developed character in the entire Dorne storyline. He's safe for now.
Death is Coming speculation! I'm getting the 90% dead by Areo Hotah for Bronn. It's like he was asking for it. Though I really would like Ser Blackwater to finish his thing with the little Sand I'm going 50-50 % on Myrcella. Though if that Maggy prophecy we saw in the GoT opener is true one of Cersei's kids should buy it and Myrcella might have a higher chance. I do like her spine and I now I hope no harm comes to her. I think 100% Trant. I mean Arya really has it in for him. Question: will Kevan arrive?!?! I really hope so. Maybe he can do something about this Lannister mess in KL. I also hope we get a WF kill them all. I mean Boltons, Stannis, Mel, Selyse. Really. EVERYONE. Except Sansa, Pod and Brienne.
Come to think about it, didn't Cersei's flashback prophecy at the beginning of the season say something about all of her kids being crowned and then dying? Technically Myrcella should be queen before getting the axe then, so maybe she survives tonight and Tommen is the one to go. Aaargh, who knows anymore?
Yes Macha! Someone mentioned to me that first they need to be crowned according to what Maggy said in the beginning of the season. Which is why I dropped my % for Myrcella's death from 90% to 50% I adjust easily!
Ooooh, Queen Myrcella! She'd be as useless as her brothers, no doubt, but it would be fun for all three of Jamie and Cersei's kids to ascend to the throne before dying. I think Tommen may die tonight as well. But doesn't that leave Margaery as queen, and he Lannisters out of the picture? Assuming Margaery makes it. I'm hoping some of her friends among the orphanages and the poor petition the High Sparrow on her behalf. Probably too much to ask for, but I'm hoping she escapes whatever awaits Cersei.
What do you think about Meereen? Are we even going back there this season? Maybe Drogon will take Dany straight across the Narrow Sea, and we'll never have to see it again. Or he can drop her off in the midst of some Dothraki, so that she can reconnect with her roots. A girl can dream, can't she? All I want out of Meereen at this point are some Tyrion/Daario scenes. And that can wait till next season.
Arya's story arc is so boring and predictable. May we please get a plot twist in Braavos? Pleeeeease?
I think we will get Meereen too Basi. Show tends to close out scenes and Tyrion and Co in the pit needs a closure in my opinion. Who's to rule Meereen if Dany flies to Westeros or maybe Valyria where Drogon made his appearance? Hizdahr is dead, Barry is dead, Tyrion is barely known to anyone . I'm not sure what happens actually in case Dany disappears for a longer period of time!
Yes, also: I freaking loved Myrcella. I can't believe Martin didn't write that! Myrcella you beautiful daughter I you and also: ELLARIA BITCH YOU ARE ON A SHIT LIST! Don't know who's but it better be someone's.
Loved the Ep. Crowned a good season with its pitfalls, but i still give this seven a seven out of ten. It's def not the worse season but also not the best one. I hope next season we see some improvement.
Simply amazing. Not really enough to rocket this season to one of my favorites, but a brilliant ending nonetheless. Arya, Stannis, Jon, Dothraki, the sausage party: , Varys, Brienne's miscue, Jamie's shining moment...so much goodness.
Holy fuck. That was easily the best finale the show has ever had IMO.
Arya killing Meryn Trant was gloriously brutal, and that bit afterwards was a serious mindfuck.
Stannis' arc this season was so unbearably tragic, and his last words were fucking perfect: "Do your duty"
Meereen was a bit more subdued, but Tyrion and Grey Worm being in charge is cool. And I dug Drogon the teenage dragon.
The Walk of Shame was absolutely brutal, but the sympathy it got from me...wow. Lena deserves an emmy.
Even Dorne managed to have a small amount of payoff!
10/10

Ok ok ok. I will admit that a felt a little bit of sympathy for Cersei, but that is because the show does a good job with making her likeable.
Agreed Cosca, best finale yet. I love how each arc ended abruptly with some serious cliffhangers. If anyone still wasnt interested in watching S6 after this episode, then they must be as dead as .

Rear ender. All the props to Headey's double. Holla.
I noticed the booby switch! I did. I never pay too much attention to women's bodies since I see one all the time but I did notice the double/Lena booby switch! I'm getting a PI license when I retire.
Interesting that Melly Sanders says: "I have seen Bolton banners burning and thrown on the ground", but she never said Stannis would do it. So we still see this happen? Who will smash the Boltons?
Loved the last scene with Sam and Jon, felt like a true goodbye between them. "They'll bloody try!" LMAO big laugh of the night.
Lets see what will become with Sam and Gilly, John Bradly is a delight and I am sure he will make the best of it.
My heart truly sank when Sansa finally managed to light her candle, just as Brienne left. Smart that they made Sansa into an eagle eye view of the battle as it went down and seeing Stannis' forces get completely annihilated.
Stephen Dillane has been great, giving Stannis more humanity than the pooks, I love that he admits right away to Brienne of his brothers murder and does not beg for his life with his last words...if they WERE his last! Woohahaha ( we did not see blood or his head roll..Stannis lives!)
Myranda "hipbones" dying was the first "fuck yeah" moment of the ep, not her death per se, but Reek snapping out of it. Sansa and Theon's leap of faith was great too, where the hell will they go tho?
No issue with Trant hitting the young girls, in past seasons he was all to eager to hit Sansa, dude gets off on it. He got one glorious death didn't he? Aryas bit was great, from the murder, Jaquen not being Jaquen ( called it!) and the bit with the masks was eerie and very well done.
Oh Dorne, what a hot mess, only Bronn and what little we got of Doran made it bearable. While the Myrcella ( lol poor girl got cast just to die), death was unexpected, why would Elaria kill the girl while Jaimie's ship in only a few hundred yards away? And Trystane? Will Jaime throw him overboard?
Little Throne room scene was quite good, Tyrion getting the best lines as always. Vary's showing up was so cool, glad he made it and him and Tyrion ruling together should be fun.
Dany and Drogon the teen dragon was nice, gods he sure looks great doesn't he? He looked better than some of the shots of Jurassic World. What the hell will the Dothraki do with her?
Cersei's walk of shame was a mixed bag, I found the scene lasted too long and the obvious body double was very obvious on our projection screen and kinda distracted from the scene. Lena was still quite good however. Robert Strong was kinda hilarious, those zombie eyes peering through his helmet are so obvious.
Davos face when he realized he was too late for Shireen! Will he avenge her?
Jon, poor Jon. Is he truly dead? No one knows, even is trolling us. NO ONE KNOWS! NO MORE POOKS! WE ARE ALL UNSULLIED!

So just a small gripe. Sansa went through all that suffering this season, finally takes matters into her own hands, and in the end, she needs Theon to save her? I felt a surge of disappointment at the Myranda scene.
I was sure I detected different sets of boobs! I may need to work on my detective skills I suppose...
Basi, I think they tried to evolve both of them at the same time and it came out as best as they could make it. Sansa did try to light the candle and was resourceful enough to pick the lock and not stay a victim in her room slowly dying at Ramsay's hand. But Theon needed to bust out too out of Reek's skin. So you got a mix really and it was bound to come out stronger on Theon's side since he would not save himself not even when his sister came for him... I don't know, I was not a fan of the Sansa in WF consolidation to begin with. But in the end they both got out.
Sansa: "wheeeeee, let's jump off this wall, I forgot why I am actually here anyway!"
Brienne: useless, pointless character that should have been killed a season ago
Stannis: D&D never liked this dude, forcefed us the idea to dislike him too, then finally felt confident enough to kill him. Or didn't they? Fucking ambiguous (?) editing there, terrible. Dillane fucking owned it though, whelp there goes the last good actor on the show.
Sam: the actor is atrocious, he should have been on his way to Oldtown at least 5 episodes ago. "hurhurhur I had sex Jon!"
Dany: "fix me some supper Drogon!" this bitch is useless. CLIFFHANGER
Tyrion: nooooooooo he's going to govern the city noone cares about. Can someone explain to me why Jorah had to bring Tyrion to Meereen? This really added nothing besides the Stonemen thingy (which was one of the few scenes I liked this season though), he could have easily shown up in the fighting pits and we would have had Varys bringing Tyrion to Dany. It could have saved us the cringeworthy second exile.
King's Landing: meh, not happening much here. Should have shown more what happened in the Red Keep and the tension with the Tyrells in the city. Instead we get a "powerful" scene that is not helping the plot along any further.
Jon: I liked the scene, but man, this is not how you end a fucking season. Full of cliffhangers and sad notes without giving us any idea what the fuck will happen next. I guess because the writers had no clue themselves what they would be writing for season 6.
A part of me is happy Dillane can stop wasting his time on this show, another part mourns because Dillane as Stannis was a match made in heaven and would have been a great force to be reckoned with for the final endgame whatever that may be. There are still some good actors left (Hill, Siddig, Pryce) but their characters haven't come to fruition yet and they look very bored most of the time they are on screen.
So just a small gripe. Sansa went through all that suffering this season, finally takes matters into her own hands, and in the end, she needs Theon to save her? I felt a surge of disappointment at the Myranda scene.
It seemed pretty equal to me. Sansa didn't even flinch at Myranda's arrow, and her standing up to Myranda was what motivated Theon to push her. Then they both clasped each others hands and jumped down.

Can we just say: "Fuck The Nights Watch"?
They have mutinied and betrayed their last two Lord Commanders, those assholes deserve to be turned into wights.

And now that 90% of my favorite characters are dead, finally some good news. I won't have to trudge through Winds of Winter!
Maybe I'll be more articulate tomorrow, but what comes to mind now is that Stannis and Jon had beautiful deaths. I teared up a bit at the end, Jon has really become one of my favs. I think the decision to show just how much Stannis lost in the blink of an eye was a great one, but fuck... I'm pretty much devastated. Reading the books (which really don't matter from now on), I really thought he would find a clever way to crush the Boltons. I can't believe I'm now hoping for Littlefinger to come and clean up this mess.
Really surprised at how genuinely sorry Melisandre looked upon arriving at Castle Black.
About her and Jon's death, I agree it's very convenient that she's there and that her scene with Thoros wouldn't otherwise make sense - except for her reviving Jon in some capacity. But at the same time killing Jon for good also looks to be in tone with the way D&D handled the show so far. So I won't get my hopes up.
Only stupid scenes were shore party in Dorne, the entire Meereen party planning their next adventures and Dany, but I blame all of those on Nutter not finding the right tone. And Varys, that one I blame on D&D, because to me it sucked. Didn't like him suddenly arriving there at all. Also Jaime and Myrcella was a tad weaker than the rest, but this wasn't Jaime's season anyway.
Theon and Sansa - yay, motherfuckers! I expect that fall to injure one of them, and it'll be cool to see who find them before Ramsay's dogs do. Brienne looks like the best choice, but then I kinda hope by this time Asha has gotten her shit back together and maybe she'll be headed that way as well. Or maybe Davos will come back to see for himself the carnage, and find them. The North is really too unpredictable at this point.
Great work from Lena but nooo I felt no pity for Cersei.
Oh, forgot to say earlier, LOVED the scene between Jon and Sam, probably the best in the episode.
The name of the ep is pretty spoilery. It's clear what route Cersei will be taking.
better get her shit together and start eating everyone to death.
Death is Coming speculation! I'm getting the 90% dead by Areo Hotah for Bronn. It's like he was asking for it. Though I really would like Ser Blackwater to finish his thing with the little Sand 
I'm going 50-50 % on Myrcella. Though if that Maggy prophecy we saw in the GoT opener is true one of Cersei's kids should buy it and Myrcella might have a higher chance.

I adjust easily!
Or he can drop her off in the midst of some Dothraki, so that she can reconnect with her roots. A girl can dream, can't she? 
All I want out of Meereen at this point are some Tyrion/Daario scenes. And that can wait till next season.
:myrcella:
and 
you and also: ELLARIA BITCH YOU ARE ON A SHIT LIST! Don't know who's but it better be someone's.
Atreyu, what the hell are you doing theorizing about warging at this late hour?! bit No.
All the props to Headey's double. Holla.
, Varys, Brienne's miscue, Jamie's shining moment...so much goodness.
