Another possibility for the final scene is: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Dany happening upon the khalasar. That's my guess. It fits in the tradition of wide eyed mega visual that they can pan out from. My thoughts exactly.

I'd like to avoid a Dany last scene, let her be second to last. Still though anything would be better than the end scene last year, wasn't a big fan.

Another question I have involves the first image we see in the preview of the finale. On top of that mountain, it looks like someone is standing there. It might be nothing but if it is a person: Who the hell is it? It took me forever to see that figure on the mountain, is that the same area around Moat Cailin? My guess is it is little finger, that does seem like an unusual shot though because you definitely aren't supposed to know who it is - how could you? I guess it would have to be Littlefinger in that case. Where's his army? Probably off-screen but if he's planning on going to Winterfell by himself at this point that's...more than a bit of a risk.

I guess when you guys lay it out like that, quite a bit did happen this year, but it still just feels like the entire season flew by too fast with not much happening in each episode. I don't know, just the feeling I get.

They did wait late this season to pick up their stories. Even with all the streamlining they've done, it has dragged a bit.
Hopefully that means we're in for some good stuff this Sunday. It would be disappointing if this season ended on a whimper of some sort.

I do hope Ramsey gets shagged soon as well. He's coming off to me as a villain sue. How the hell did he know exactly which old woman to flay to kill Sansa's hopes? Sansa never told Theon about her, and even if she did, knowing Sansa, she'd probably screw up the description and they'd flay the wrong old lady. Also, winter JUST SO HAPPENS to hit nice and hard so that Stannis and his army can't just walk in and smash the Boltons. The Boltons have somehow instantly recovered all their strength even though they lost a pretty big war thanks to their moronic betrayal of Robb Stark. Roose just so happens to be the most intimidating man and everyone is scared of him so no one will screw with Ramsy. Sansa is STILL the stupid studdering stammering idiot she was in season 2 and hasn't figured out "just kill the f***er already" ect. Ramsy almost seems to have Littlefinger level luck. It's time for him to die.

And the Boltons won the war when they betrayed Robb, I figure they lost less men and all the other armies who fought for the north took the big hits.

As much as I hated what Stannis did, I don't think he's evil. Let's face it, if He was Joff level evil he would've made Davos sit and watch. Stannis seems to understand the bigger picture. He might be being used, but in his heart it was the only way. The actor portrayed the inner conflict perfectly.

Yes, Joffrey was a fiendish little bastard, but he was also insane and could not comprehend how to be good. Same with Ramsay. Stannis on the other hand knows how to be a good ruler and a good person, and that didn't matter to him because right now, there's nothing he cares for more than to be King of Westeros, and no one, even his daughter, is safe from his avarice.

theres NO ONE on this show who hasnt got a black mark against his or hers name, no one is innocent, even Jon Snow and Ned Stark executed people for questionable reasons. The reasons given were desertion but I dont think its as clear cut as that, Ned's victim ran from a White Walker, maybe Ned shouldve believed him and gathered info on the Whites rather than "Off with his head!" and Jon's victim, while not the most honorable man was an old man looking for shelter, do they really deserve death? I wish people would stop pulling that defence. How is that an argument for anything? How is the fact that other characters have done morally ambiguous or even downright reprehensible supposed to make anything fair game? How is the fact that other characters did bad things even relevant? I'm sorry but even by Game of Thrones standards, burning your own daughter alive for your own benefit is a special kind of f'ed up. I'm trying to point out that before Stannis burnt his daughter viewers were backing him and behind his cause, supporting Stannis as a "good guy" , now people are angry that he's "gone bad", is Westeros there is no good and bad, only actions and consequeces, rooting for the "good guy" isnt what this story is about. Stannis didnt burn her for his BENEFIT, he stated that him becoming King is his destiny even if he doesnt want it, Stannis is'nt aiming for the throne because he WANTS it, the throne is HIS. That belief is the basis for his character, it's horrible but killing his daughter was the only thing he could do without discarding his beliefs and nullifying his character. (This post does in no way support human sacrifice)

The weird part about that first scene where Ramsey somehow has fires burning in a row(in rapid succession somehow. I guess Ramsey found kerosene along with his plot armor) is that there's like...no snow on the ground. It all just happens to be neatly shoveled. If you're going to make it look desperate, keep it the snow all around where the soldiers who are running out of their tents can barely stand and are tripping over themselves.
It's supposed to be this desperate situation where they can't move forward at all except, it really isn't that desperate. The road is completely shoveled.

And the Boltons won the war when they betrayed Robb, I figure they lost less men and all the other armies who fought for the north took the big hits. The Boltons only really lost a lot of men at the Green Fork(The battle where Tyrion was at in the Riverlands). Outside of that, Roose Bolton made sure his army suffered little to no losses as he made his rival armies do most of the fighting. Not sure if they ever mentioned that in the show. Speaking of Robb's betrayal, where are the Freys? I guess they're just chilling at the Twins and no one's said a word to them.

When you burn your daughter alive thinking its going to help you achieve personal power, you're evil.
