How about them getting us to the point where Ned approaches the Tower of Joy and then just dropping it for 5+ episodes?
Game Of Thrones (spoilers)

ha, 5+ episodes isn't that bad . . . we were intro'ed to Benjen in season 1 (one of the early episodes?) and didn't hear back from him until season 6.
so they turn Blackfish into a barely minor character by killing him off screen (after not seeing him since the Red Wedding). I was hoping for an inspiring fight scene and watch him go down in a blaze of glory.
and isn't Game of Thrones medicine just the best? Arya 1) gets stabbed multiple times in the gut (and the waif even twists the knife), 2) goes for a swim in sewage water and all it takes is bandages and bed rest to heal her internal organs overnight so she can go through a big city chase scene and kill the waif like a jedi "with the blast shield" down the next morning?

So it seems to me Cercie was referring to wild fire when asking qyborn if he found what she told him to look for. The same wildfire that Aerys wanted to blow up Kings Landing with and Jamie killed him before he did to become the king slayer. Same wild fire Tyrion used in the battle of the Blackwater. Same wild fire bran saw in his vision of everything a couple episodes back. We also know, as a child, a witch told Cercie she would see all her children die and be killed by a little brother. What if Jamie returns to see Cercie about the blow up Kings Landing, or she actually did blow it up and killed Tommen in the process, and then he kills her to either prevent it like with Aerys of in a fit of rage if she does kill Tommen in the process?
Cercie came out first. In the books they go into depth about how she would have been heir to Casterly Rock if she was a man.
Would Tyrion not have used all the wildfire? Weren't they struggling to make enough for him before the Battle of the Blackwater?
They didn't find all of it. Here's the quote from A Clash of Kings
We also have this quote from Jamie in A Storm of Swords
So you see, there is much more Wildfire lying about below Kings Landing. And it seems Quborn's little birds may have found it.
also, searching for those quotes, seems a lot of people believe Cersie will burn down (or try to burn) Kings Landing. But I don't see too many thinking Jamie will kill her for it.
could the little brother be Tommen sentencing Cersie to death??? No one would have seen that coming, very GRRM way to do it. Only problem is she needs to see Tommen die before she's killed. Maybe that's where the wildfire comes in...
I'm thinking that Tommen is the Valonqar - the identity of his father will likely come out during the trial and if so, I'm willing to bet he kills himself (which might be the first suicide in GoT), but Cersi is still sentenced to death, technically by Tommen - that would cause the prophecy to come true
I've never seen a cooler depiction of a typical medieval battle scene. Hopefully future movies, shows, etc. get the hint and realize that you can make it feel visceral without some shitty, shaky camera work and a lot of motion blur. I always feel sick watching those scenes. The way they kept the focus on John while the bedlam (horses smashing into each other, pure chaos, etc) was taking place around him was just awesome.
Did you see the behind the scenes? Those were all real horses. The way they filmed it all was mind blowing and made me appreciate it more knowing they weren't CGI.
Someone took the scene of Jon Snow pounding on Ramsey Bolton and looped it to last over an hour.
The idiot Stark kid could have survived if only he wasn't just running into a straight line. You can tell he hadn't really had to fend for himself.
He was so far away he didn't even have to serpentine. He just had to take a step right or left while each shot was in the air.
That was one of the best battle scenes ever Period.
When they showed the piles of bodies and people still squirming and screaming it was bone chilling.
Hopefully this doesn't mean a weak finale. That's usually how they do it. Strong finale or strong pre-finale. Usually never both.

Well they still have to wrap up Kings Landing, that should be a blast
We should also lear Margery's plot for the High Sparrow. They previewed the North last episode, so we get a denouement there; shouldn't be exciting, but will give us an idea of the political projection the Sansa and Jon plan to take. Will they give us more Mereen? Sam & Gilly? Arya? The Hound and Bw/oB? Brienne & Pod? Will Jamie make it back to KL? Bran & Coldhands/Benjen??? It's supposed to be the longest episode ever for the series, so hopefully they hit on many of those sub-plots to keep us interested till next year. Though I hope WoW comes out before next season and I can get a little ahead again with the real story.
I would expect little action but hope for significant plot developments like
