Tommen. That stopped my heart. Now I have an unanswered question about his and Margery's "conversions" to the faith.

I knew that was Arya when she first appeared. That "wouldn't it be perfect if..." kind of knowing, I mean. That's one of the only bloodletting scenes I've ever been able to watch. I hate that man so badly that I think even I was having a moment of triumph there.

So many things to think about. And now a re-read of the books is on my schedule, then a re-watch of the series. That should keep me busy until ... November. Then I'll just die quietly inside for a while until the next season comes out.

Great finish to the season! That was some awesome anti-Sept(ic) that Cersei deployed.

Well that episode definitely simplified a TON of loose ends that were still dangling!

Death and boobies, death and boobies, death and boobies (If you haven't seen this - it's a video that the female actresses of GoT made where they make up and perform their own interpretation of the show to the theme song... Arya's version is death and boobies)

Wow Jaime - so uh, how do you feel about Cersei now that she's become a clone of Mad King Aerys?

SOOOO glad they revisited Bran and that tower at the end, I was going to be frustrated if they dangle it in the season then didn't revisit it!

Well, that's likely the best ending for Tommen. He was too kind for that world

Wow, that was an amazing episode. The music, the symbolism, the ACTING! I was revieted throughout.

Seeing the High Sparrow disintegrate was satisfying.

Oh Tommen, your end was fitting, but...oh man...smh. Poor Cersei, she lost all her kids...but then, the prophecy needs to be completed.

Little Lyanna Mormont, she made me a HUGE fan of House Mormont.

Am I the only one who teared up when Ser Davos was going at the Red Witch? Such a wonderful portrayal of emotion from both him and Mellisandre. I was very very impressed with that scene.

Unfortuantely, my question of the season still has not been answered, whatever happened to Gendry?

Oh man, OUTSTANDING season finale. Seriously, after watching the episode "live" as it aired, I PVR'd it and watched again twice before going to bed. I was blown away!

That soundtrack was perfection, the acting was superb, the stories captivating - 10/10. The level of tension and anxiety built up at the Sept (or rather beneath it) was almost painful to watch, but it was an amazing payoff - well, with the exception of the loss of dear Margaery. Tommen's death was horrific in its simplicity, but so very effective - and I must admit, it was so satisfying to see (hear?) Septa Unella getting her comeuppance! Lyanna Mormont is my new favorite - and her speech had us all cheering. Loved how the Northern houses finally rallied around Jon - and how about The Big Reveal??? I must admit, I was a bit underwhelmed (having known of this "theory" for a long time) but I can imagine how this revelation would feel for someone who was unaware of it. Looks like Jamie is finally getting his redemption - his long look at Cercei at her coronation was anything but loving - and Dany is FINALLY on her way to Westeros (but I really hope that someone has been put in charge of making winter coats for all those Dothraki because naked warriors + cold winter = a shitload of soldiers for the White Walker army). Loved how Olenna put the SandSneks (hissssssssssssss...) in their place - but oh, my heart broke for her losing her future. Arya finally got revenge for the Red Wedding but man, I was gagging when Walder lifted up that pie crust (ugh). God, so much to take in - and so expertly played - I loved every minute of it (well, with the exception of Sam and Gilly, but whatever...)

Amazing, amazing, amazing...and I don't know what I'm going to do for the next 10 months.

Divorced and happy.

A fantastic ending!

I was pleased with myself for guessing that it was wild fire under the sept. Was sad for the Queen of Thorns. So pleased to see Arya get revenge for the red wedding.

I cannot wait!!!!

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Stayed up far later than I should have to watch last night.

Without intentional spoilers...

LOVED the cold open. Almost sated my thirst for revenge.

Loved the courtyard scene with Brienne, Pod, and Tormund.

Littlefinger still gives me the creeps.

Arya's journey and the Hound's transformation are fascinating. Looking forward to seeing how they each progress.

My only complaints - not enough Tyrion and way too many bedpans .

Way too many bedpans. And "Shall we begin?" gets another vote for best line ever. More Tyrion is definitely needed.

I didn't buy a ticket for this roller coaster and I want the hell off!

Little known fact. Last time Daenerys said "Shall we begin?" was at the very beginning of Battle of the Bastards episode from last season. Right after she said it she had her Dothraki army wipe out the Harpies, had her dragons torch the slave masters armada, and then slit the throats of two out of three of the slave masters themselves.

"Shall we begin?"

What comes next this time?

She's the ultimate bad ass.
