Since episode hasn't aired yet...
I thought the episode had potential but it fell somewhat short, especially cutting out the fight scenes between Arya/Waif and Blackfish/Army, the Blackfish deserved a bit more of a finale i think.

Why he didn't opt to leave the keep i'll never know, it was clearly a lost battle and he could have re-taken it after the Battle of Winterfell surely, a favor repaid for helping Sansa/Jon.

The guardsmen were idiots for allowing Edmure to take command and give up arms, Blackfish warned them - Sure, save his life by bringing him in but at least get some information off him, instead they just passed leadership on to him. Lame.

I think the boat for Lady Stoneheart has sailed, if they haven't got her body out now then she's going to be an absolute mess - Though i guess this could put The Hound on a collision course not with The Mountain, but with Brienne for a round 2 fight.

The Arya part was a bit... strange. Here last week she was stabbed multiple times in the stomach, survived the bleeding to wait for the actress to finish up, to then recuperate only for her to start bleeding out again, but still had enough in her tank to be like Jason Bourne in a car-chase before doing what i thought she would do in leading her into the darkness.

Best part of the show? Jaime's heel turn, that was glorious!

Lady Stoneheart can still appear as lots of things have already differed from the books. The way that she was talked about through out the episode makes me think that she may be revealed as the leader of the brotherhood without banners in the last episode. They can just say they brought her back years ago by the priests prayer instead of the last kiss and is now leading the brotherhood in secret. Personally I have a feeling Brienne and Pod will get captured by the brotherhood and will be brought to their leader which will reveal her.

I am really liking the hound. He is slowly becoming my favourite character on the show. He was the best part of episode 8.

I quite enjoyed that episode. After all the build up of Arya getting her ass kicked over several episodes, the thing that disappointed was not showing the fight with the Waif.

Bit difficult to do that in the pitch black of a completely darkened room.

So who reckons that Littlefinger has something up his sleeve? That he'll ride into the battle and try to slay whoever is left, so that he can take Winterfell for himself?

So, Episode 9 .... I expected more to be honest, it was all very predictable, apart from the gruesome ending.

I enjoyed the crap out of it. Probably the best episode of the season, which is typically the case with all episode 9's.

The brutality of the horses hitting the men on the ground was fantastic. That whole sequence was amazingly well done.

Brilliant episode. I genuinely thought he was toast on several occasions. You just never know in GoT.

I thought it was a great episode really pissed off that I watched it today though as it is a week to wait again.

Just watched it. Shit the fucking bed. Awesome TV. Missus was in hysterical tears. I was shaking.
I wanted to jump in and give Ramsay a kicking with Jon.

That moment where the 2 cavalry charges met was brutal, really well put together sequence

Sort of wondering what the point to the Brotherhood without banners, Sandsnakes and Arya have now. With Kings Landing about to go up in smoke, the North free and Daenerys about to (finally) stop fucking about in the desert, there seems to be little wiggle room for the Lannisters, which would essentially spell the end of the show.

Unless we have some sort of standoff between John Snow and Co and Deanerys...but that would be kind of shit. Maybe they unite against the undead.

It was so well done, the special effects, the fact that it all looked so realistic (and to a point was). Eg Jon standing as the cavalry charged was amazing and I believe he had 40 horses galloping towards him during filming... The details on the corpses on the body pile were superb. My favourite bit was Tormund and Small Jon Umber in the battle of the beards

So, speculation for next week...
I'll put it in spoiler tags to keep the anally retentive happy even though it's pure guesswork
King's Landing on fire
Jaime kills Cersei
The fleet sails for Westeros and/or Euron turns up
The Wall comes down

The way Jamie was talking I do not see him killing Cersei. More likely for me the faith militant try to take her and a fight ensues. Jamie Cersei and the Mountain are all killed or escape while Tommen is killed. That leaves Margery as the Queen and she then has the Tyrell army wipe out the Faith Militant to get revenge. Then it is revealed that the whole time she has been playing the High Sparrow just to kill off House Lanister and take over the throne for house Tyrell.

I think the fleet leaving for Westeros will run into Euron next year as he needs to rebuild the fleet he should be no where near done yet.

The wall should not be touched yet the final season should revolve around the wall and the White Walkers. I think we will find out what Sansa had to promise Little Finger for his help next week though.
