I remember the Usurper King saying he's going to Dany, but my question was about what Dany said in this last episode concerning who has 1000 ships. So i guess, unbeknownst to each group, they're on a collision course.
that sounds very dumb given the characterization we already have for that character... unless they go with that "Targaryens all go nuts" thing.
Well the idea is that there is wildfire under King's Landing and when Drogon shows up it will burn everything in the city to the ground on accident, whereupon all of Westeros will look upon her with fear like she's a huge, Sauron-esque threat with screaming savages, eunuchs and dragons at her side.
perhaps we'll see [SPOILER - highlight to read]: LSH after all.

I think with the return of the Mountain, the return of Benjen, and the resurrection of Jon Snow, not to mention the likely possibility that the Hound will "return" (having never been killed but assumed dead), it won't rock the boat too much to see LSH. The only question will be why she didn't appear earlier, the answer being that D&D are hacks who abandon entire storylines for seasons at a time only to abruptly bring them back without warning. See: the Ironborn.

questions:
1. so, Margery is totally playing the High Sparrow, correct? I mean, it doesn't seem like we got anything hint of her being indoctrinated.
2. Who in the hell is the Faith possibly going to get to face the Mountain in Cersei's trial by combat? Is that where the Clegane bowl comes into play?
I didn't buy Margery suddenly swallowing the Sparrow's message, it was too abrupt a change. She probably just realized that if she could convince the Sparrow that she'd been broken she could play a long con while also taking away all of Cersei's power over the King by convincing Tommen to join the Sparrow's cause.

They realize that they've taken too much time to move the chains, and since they decided for some stupid reason to shorten their run (I don't think viewers or HBO would have had a problem with the series lasting 8 or 9 seasons, but they've essentially shortened it to 7 just because) they realize they now have less than 20 episodes to wrap up a bunch of plotlines that have taken 50+ episodes to set in motion.
I imagine the final scenes of the season will show Dany and her army setting sail on the Iron fleet (which will have been constructed in a matter of days because of the stupid timeline that kept the Ironborn stagnant until they were suddenly plot relevant again) while the White Walkers arrive at the wall, perhaps breach it.
On a sidenote, does anyone else feel like Arya's plot line was a waste of time?

The shorter seasons is pretty stupid and I hate it , BUT they could be doing that in order to have a bigger budget for those fewer episodes.
As it stands now they only have enough money for 2 or 3 of the 10 episodes to be high budget big battle type episodes. Like "Hardhome" and "Hold the door"
I think they are doing it so the last episodes will all be more high budget than stretching the budget to accommodate 10 episodes.

that totally depends on how it all turns out. If she goes on to use what she learned to make an impact on the main story, it will have all been worth it.
i will be supremely disappointed if she doesn't reconnect with her family. My hope is that all the Stark children find their way back to each other, and that we get LSH.
