I'm wondering if there's going to be some sort of surprise at the trial.
Information in spoiler based on an interview published a couple/few weeks ago.
Spoiler
I remember an interview with Jonathan Pryce where he said the HS thinks everything is going his way, but then...I don't remember exactly how he put it, and I don't want to give the wrong idea, but it gave me the impression the tables may turn on him, somehow.

White Raven is ace. Speculation: The Sept is toast, perhaps the whole of King's Landing Dany leaves Daario, Missandei and Gray Worm in Meereen to rule/lead the armies and sets off to Westeros. Jaime and the Freys feast at Riverrun, and he sets off for King's Landing only to see the Wildfire. Arya meets the BWB, setting up for her Frey revenge season 7. After meeting Edd at the Wall and saying goodbye to Benjen, Bran goes home and sees the rest of the Tower of Joy after visiting the Godswood and touching the tree.
No idea wjat happens at Winterfell.

Isn't that Jaime's form? Interesting that Jaime goes to the Twins for a wedding. I got goosebumps because I have dreamt we'll have a feast with some candied nips and big ass three dove pies. Cause as the saying goes it ain't over until the fatman sings!
That guy is the cousin Lannister "whatshisface", Cersei´s toy for a while, the one that´s with the HS now. I don`t remember if he is Kevan´s son.

Cersei will nuke the Sept if not most of Kings Landing, she will try and spare Tommen. Marge and Loras are looking grim. If Tommen survives a sneak attack by the Sand Snakes might do him in.
Jaime at the Twins, while I would love for him to kill Walder, I doubt he will, unless pushed.
Bran will see the whole Tower of Joy flashback.
Dany finally takes off for Westeros, Missandei and Grey worm stay behind to hold Meereen. Dany might leave half her unsullied to keep the city. Daario and Tyrion tag along.

All of that sounds about right DNA. Though I can't see a scenario where Jaime would have to kill Walder Frey. What I can see happening is Arya turning up and killing Walder. Though now I think about it, you could have a situation where Arya poisons or kills a Lannister wearing a Frey face, leading to the two sides fighting things out.
In fact, I'm starting to worry that Jaime AND Cersei could die this coming episode. Cersei when she blows up King's Landing, and Jaime at the Twins. It's unlikely I'll admit, but it seems alarmingly possible...

Then who would remain as the main (human) antagonist in S7? Cersei lives, for sure. Blowing up KL has to lead to war between the Lannisters and Tyrells (Olenna survives obviously, the others might be gone) Dorne.
All good points, but at the same time there's only 13-15 episodes left, and the Wall could very well come down next episode. Do they need main human antagonists anymore? It's not like the Lannisters have any chance against Dorne, the Tyrells and Dany (who I assume will form an alliance).

So I rewatched and caught a bit of the preview by accident. Saw Jaime w the Freys. I am assuming he is there to tell Walder that Bronn is the new Lord of Riverrun since the Freys lost it?

Uuuh nice one, Ry. But I think he will keep Edmure in place, he did what he asked for after all. No idea what will happen at the Twins, but the fact that Jaime is there should be important.
The only thing I fear about a Sand Snake appearance is the people who'll scream about how the episode was shit 'cause they showed up. I guess "fear" is too strong a word, but I'm so weary of that sort of freak-out/hyperbole. Ah well, I'm sure I'll enjoy the episode, anyway.

-Sand Snakes whereabouts and why we should give two shits about Dorne
-Sam gets to Oldtown? (hope this is in the intro)
-Brotherhood Plot goes where...? Walder & Jamie...? Arya kills Walder? Arya kills Jamie? Jetpacks are real? Some hooded figure hangs The Hound and Brienne?
-King's Landing BBQ Presented by Cersei Lannister
-Bran and perhaps the second half of the Tower of Joy scene?
-Lord Varys shows up in King's Landing?
-Littlefinger wants some sweet sweet Sansa loving...I mean the warden of the north?
-Davos tattletales to Jon about what Melisandre did to Shireen. Hoping for one more gratuitous tits shot.
-Daenerys & Yara scissoring, Daario breaks down and has to be comforted
-Whitewalkers bring down the wall with the music from Les Mis
-Winter cums
I think Sam's arrival at Oldtown will lead into a montage of the white ravens arriving at the various locations of Westeros announcing Winter has come. My guess is it'll work similarly to the red commet in season 2 episode 1.
Most of the episode will be setup for season 6 and King's Landing climax. Jaime at the Twins will set up Arya's Frey revenge arc, as well as Arya meeting up with the BWB. Varys at Dorne. Bran seeing the rest of the TOJ. Dany setting off for Westeros... etc

This.

I'd be perfectly fine with all that.

Looks like something's up in the trailer with Dany and Daario. Maybe Sid's got it right: Daario breaks down and needs to be comforted I think she's leaving him behind in Meereen while she takes her horde, her Unsullied, her dragons and sails for Westeros.
Maybe he doesn't want to come in the first place, now that would be a nice twist. Maybe not everyone has to share Dany's thirst for conquering a land they don't know.
On another note, with no footage of Arya in the preview, it seems more and more likely she'll show up at the Twins, otherwise I still can't think of another reason they'd have that scene there. Interesting that Jaime is also there. Maybe we're looking at another unlikely duo that could turn out to be a hit.
You could totally be right about Daario. I do see him going off to conquer for money, or just for the fight he's so enamoured with, but don't see him "settling" in Westeros. I don't suppose he will even stay in Meereen to run the city either. That job will probably be left to Missandei. GW will go with Dany and the Unsullied.

I like your idea of a Jaime/Arya duo. I have little doubt Arya will end up at the Twins, and I sincerely hope some Frey's will die. On a related note, I was looking at pictures from Episode 10, and while my eyes may be playing tricks on me, I could swear it looked like a piece of pie on Walder's plate. I hope it is, and I hope he really, really enjoys eating it. :)
It seems like we have lots of characters still in the Riverlands, or at least that's where they were when we last saw them: Brienne and Pod, and The Brotherhood (now including the Hound). I wonder if any of them will be involved in whatever is happening at the Twins, or if not, what they'll be doing. Of course, I also hold out great hope we'll get one more character returning before this season ends...Gendry (and if we could even hear a pack of wolves howling in the background, I will completely lose what little is left of my mind).

Maybe Olenna Tyrell, being pissed off at Cersei, will seek an alliance with the Lannister-hating dornish, now led by Ellaria I suppose?
Varys would probably know about the decades-long grudge between the Martells and the Lannisters, so maybe he went to Dorne, and the three will meet in the same spot. So a Targaryen-Martell-Tyrell alliance is born, and together will topple Cersei and the Lannisters. *If* Margaery is indeed killed when Cersei detonates the Wildfire, that'd be reason enough for Olenna to support Dany as queen.
They may even seek the help of the new King in the North, or Littlefinger (though I doubt it, since no one trusts in Littlefinger, unless Sansa becomes the Lady of the Eyrie or takes control of the Vale's army).
Nah, Cersei and Jaime won't die in the S6 finale. HBO is negotiating their contracts for the final season, so they'll make it.

I like Margery Tyrell! I hope she's not dying. But that would definitely make Ollena switch alliances. That would be like the nail in the coffin for the Lannisters.
Well, TW you were shit outta luck cause Margery is out. So is everyone in KL. I actually liked the set up. Had a nice pace shot sequence and soundtrack was and fit beautiful. that was me at Tommen trying to fly Kid was too nice for this world.
The rest was not bad but I felt like I'm getting the spark quick notes for the Arya vengence. Loved the concept though.
Nice touch with the Hand of the Queen in Meereen but I felt bad for Daario. On that note I'm surprised at how big Dany's army at this point is: Dragons, Dothraki, Unsullied, Dorne, Tyrells... Am I missing anyone?! Lannisters are left alone, since the Freys as Jaime remarked are pretty useless and cooked!
And this brings me to the highlight of the ep: Queen in the North. Yep, I said it. It's only one I recognize and her name is Mormont best damn speech I've heard in a very long time in GoT! Perfect delivery too. Just give her Longclaw and her 62 men and cower at fierceness!
We also got the reveal we suspected. Fine transition from TOJ baby to Jon, King in the North. And Littlefinger is still him wants that IT something bad!!!
Well that was a bloodbath. I think they got everything setup in a way so they could end all in one season which is remarkable considering the amount of shit they've had to take care of in this one, good job for them. Solid episode to top a solid season.
Don, the Frey Pies had Black Walder and Lothar Frey. That's two more on that death list count. I don't know, I thought there were more. There seemed so many were dying. And Septa Unella won't live long for sure.

This was the first episode where all facets worked amazingly well: writing, directing, acting, score.
Question: So Jon is a bastard of a Targ. Would he have the bastard last name in Kings Landing or Dragonsreach? And what are they? Is it Storm? Jon Storm? Just curious.

I agree this was the best season finale and that all facets were perfect: editing, soundtrack, directing, cinematography, acting and story. It seemed like a couple of months passed throughout the episode, which explains the Arya and Dany stuff. Jaime seeing the smoke in King's Landing still makes little sense, though. Lol

Didn't the book say that Wildfire was quite difficult to put out?
While I agree with most that the finale was masterful, and the storyline momentum is great. I do worry how the pacing will work. Though if the show only has 13 episodes left, then I think it will be fine.

now, we all know who's Bryan with the Pokemon wallpaper!
I think she's leaving him behind in Meereen while she takes her horde, her Unsullied, her dragons and sails for Westeros.
Kid was too nice for this world.
