Some speculation about Tyrion's dark gaze at Dany's chamber at the end: we weren't privy to what he said to Cersei. There was a prediction that Dany would be betrayed by several people; could Tryion end up being one of them?

The problem for me is this - with only 6 episodes left, I don't see how EVERYTHING is going to get resolved. I'll put this in a Spoiler in case some folks haven't seen the finale yet...
Spoiler:
Finale was a solid episode in an otherwise messy season. Its pretty clear that the show is growing through shrinking pains. It currently has more superfluous characters than it knows what to do with (Does anyone really care what happens with Theon or Yara at this point?), and they're having to fit narrative square pegs into triangle shaped holes to eliminate many of them. Unfortunately, this can make for occasionally sloppy writing.
In the win column -- how fucking cool was it to see the Night King storming in on Ice Viserion!? I had a conversation with my co worker who said that the Wall went down way too easily, I countered saying that we weren't going to sit there for 45 minutes while Viserion chipped away at the Wall. I mean, we got the point.
While I wish Littlefinger's comeuppance had been prolonged a little, it was immensely satisfying watching him grovel right before his death. The Arya vs Sansa vehicle we used to get there was clunky, but seeing them present a unified front in the end made it worthwhile.
And we also finally got Jon and Dany getting it ooooooonnnnnn. Not sure if it was intentional, but lol @ Bran's narration over a scene of them having steamy butt secks.
I just read the final season is postponed for 2 years. I didn't know that until now, damn!
Solid finale. The season just flew by. 7 episodes felt like 2 weeks.
There certainly are a lot of threads and I'm worried about how they are all going to get wrapped up. I will say that seeing all of those characters in one place was pretty awesome. They all seemed to have history with one another. The season wasn't perfect, but it really made me yearn for the next book even more.

I have a question about Euron and Cersei. When the gathered crowd see the wight for the first time, Euron leaves and Cersei calls him a coward etc. Later, Cersei reveals it was a scam and that Euron was still working for her. My question is, how did they know to prepare for that if Cersei was not a believer and both she and Euron had no clue what was going to come out of that box?
This is the best thing to come out of the last episode!

That's cool Bev. I didn't even notice when I watched. Thought it was an arrow.

Cersei was preparing for war against Dany and needed the gold from Highgarden. When they got the gold to pay off the crown's debt they were going to use credit from the Bank and buy an army from the east. My assumption then is that the golden company army needed to go west somehow, so Euron would pick them up. Makes sense then? That is how I interpreted it.

Finally watched the entire season. It was clunky in many places and I found that many characters seemed to act a little off compared to previous seasons. Still a great mini season and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Time to cancel HBO until next season.
