My thoughts.
1). Fantastic episode. Short on action, but great dialogue. Excellent acting. HBO writers redeemed themselves for crappy writing in prior episodes.
2). The twist with Sansa/Arya/Littlefinger caught me by surprise and was well done. It helps to explain most of what seemed to be bullshit dialogue between the 3 of them over recent episodes. Good to see him called out on all his BS and killed off. I wonder if his face will be used by Arya in a future episode?
3). Kind of weird that HBO named Jon "Aegon Targaryean". That is Griff's real name in the books (or the name of the person he is impersonating). Aegon will not be Jon's real name in the books. I know for sure that HBO has told viewers that Rhaegar's 2 children, whose mother was the sister of Oberon and Doran Martelle, were brutally killed by The Mountain, but I can't remember if they revealed that the boy was named Aegon. If so, it would be weird for Lyanna to name the baby Aegon when Rhaegar already had a baby, by another woman, with that name. I always assumed that, in the books, his name was actually Jon and the secret Ned was protecting was that he is a Targ.
4). Speaking of the Mountain, he is not much of a body guard. That Wight would have eaten Cersei if not for the Hound having it on a chain. What was the Mountain doing? Taking a nap? As an aside, interesting that Cersei doesn't believe in animated dead people. Isn't that pretty much what The Mountain is?
5). Did Tormund and Dondarion survive? I think they got to the part of the wall that did not collapse, but it wasn't clear. If they are still alive, are they trapped behind enemy lines? Will be interesting to see where they go. I would think they have 2 choices. Either track down horses and beat the Army of the Dead to Winterfell, or head for Castle Black and mobilize the Black Brothers who are there. I think we can assume that Bran saw the wall fall and Winterfell will know what is heading their way.
6).
@Inky29 . There is a difference between incest where 2 siblings have known they were siblings since they were old enough to comprehend the concept, and incest between 2 individuals who have no idea they are related. I think it is safe to assume that when they find out, both Jon and Dany will decide that they can no longer continue their romantic relationship.
7). As to all of the discussion about Tyrion/Jaime...just remember that there are only 6 episodes left. That doesn't leave a lot of time to have something intricate and convoluted happen. I think it is pretty safe to assume that things will be as they seem to be with Jaime and Tyrion. Jaime has turned on Cersei and is headed to the A-team to let them know she is not on their side, and to help them as much as he can. Tyrion is committed to Dany, but will likely end up supporting Jon as king. Why he was lurking outside the love nest, I am not sure. Probably (as mentioned above) due to either jealousy, or concern that both of them won't be thinking clearly due to the emotion of their newfound relationship. HBO probably put him there so that someone, besides the two of them, would know that they hooked up, and that their baby will be the heir to the throne when both of them are gone.
