I've been thinking about how someone in here said "What if the White Walkers ignore the North and just bee-line for King's Landing" and the more I think about it the more I think that has to be what happens. I just don't see how we can wrap up:
What happens to Tormund/Berric at the wall
What happens to Winterfell / the Starks
What happens to Jaime and his merry band
What happens to Dany and co
What happens with Jon's parentage being revealed
How the Night King is finally defeated / pushed back / whatever
The subsequent war against Cersei and co afterwards
Jaime's redemption or lack thereof
Bran has to actually do a thing at some point
Sam has to actually do a thing at some point
Cleganebowl
Who the fuck ends up on the throne once the dust has settled, if anyone?
That's going to be an incredible squeeze to fit into 6 episodes. If the Night King does just go straight for King's Landing, that simplifies things considerably. Then we only have one big clusterfuck of a war to fit into six episodes instead of two.
Does Jaime even have a merry band? I thought the last we saw of him he was riding north without even Bronn for company. Also futilely trying to hide his fake hand.
Yeah, Jamie is headed north solo as far as we know.
Bronn may take up Tyrion's offer since the other Lannister's are screwing him over and Tyrion has dragons, though.

I would be very surprised if Bronn stays in King's Landing. In fact, considering that he and Lena Heady cannot contractually be in the same scene together and there's no one else to interact with in KL, I'd say it's guaranteed he'll catch up with Jamie first thing they do next season.

Why can't they be in the same scene together? Is there bad blood?
Or was that a joke?
“I was quick when I came in here, I’m twice as quick now”
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
Lena and Jerome were first linked in 2002 and have both since been involved in other relationships. Although they have always been coy about their romance, Anne Headey, Lena’s aunt, confirmed that they were once an item.
Speaking about his relationship with Lena in 2003, Jerome said: “We’re not a couple right now, people have seen us together and jumped to conclusions. I can’t rule out a relationship with her in the future, I just don’t know."
Apparently they don't like each other. I don't know details (doubt anyone does, but haven't looked, either).
Bad break up. VERY bad break up. Nobody knows the details because they're both pros and neither of them do the arguing-via-tabloids thing, but it's bad enough that Lena has stipulated in her contract that she is never to see Jerome on set, never mind interact with him.
A friend of a friend worked on the Irish sets for a while and had to install Perspex screens on one set so Jerome could leave and Lena could arrive without their having to make eye contact.
As I said, they're both pros and neither have a reputation for diva-like on set demands, so I think it's safe to assume whatever happened between them is a) private and b) very, very painful.

I don't have this confirmed, but I've been hearing that while the last season is only six episodes long, every episode is movie length, which would mean the cast get paid for six episodes but we would still end up with as many hours of Thrones as we used to get in a ten episode long season.
They've had to either scrap or film and then end up cutting a tonne of stuff every season, so it's possible. It depends on if they can afford the filming.

Contract armor is even better than plot armor for protecting him from Cersei.

That's pretty diva-ish IMHO unless one committed a crime on the other, in which case they probably shouldn't have applied for a part on the same show (and gone to the police.)

To my knowledge this is the only time Lena has ever demanded anything remotely like this on any production she has ever been a part of, including Thrones. The only other thing she has ever insisted on is not having to do nude scenes, and she's not exactly the only actress on Thrones to put that in their contract. If she's going to this level I think she deserves the benefit of the doubt. Clearly the production team who work with her do. If they're happy to accommodate her then we shouldn't insist that her only choices are walk away from a dream job or not make a fuss.
I think there are probably other choices available than "Walk away entirely," "Make no fuss at all," and "Install large opaque dividers so that I don't have to see someone across the room."
But, like, whatever. It's not a huge issue, obviously.

Its funny how they have been so "frugal" and cutthroat in keeping costs down (ie keeping the cast under original contracts and skirting around the details to not have to pay them more)... that they still can't scrape together a few pennies to render Ghost.
I bet we see him once or none during the last season.

I think'll be like Benjen. Ghost will come swooping in to save Jon at some point, get killed, and the plot will move right along.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. ~ Terry Pratchett
Even if you have longer episodes, each episode is expected to have a logical internal arc. Six 100 minute episodes will have a different feel from 10 60 minute episodes
True, but you can work through a hell of a lot more plot in a movie than you can in most TV episodes.
Finale is a decent example. As plotted, those Winterfell scenes wouldn't have landed in the same normal-length episode; and you'd lose a little more efficiency having to restablish context the following week.
So wait, is that the real reason Bronn and Pod go get a drink before everyone shows up for the meeting? That's kind of disappointing. I was hoping it would lead to them meeting up with Jamie at the beginning of next season somehow.
Pod is also a squire, he has no standing at a meeting of kings and queens. I suppose Bronn too, could be considered more of "Jaime's Man" rather than a full fledged knight with any standing at that meeting.
Tangent: It was nice to see Bronn and Tyrion have that moment on the walk up.
Final scene will be a very sad Tyrion on the iron throne with Varys at his side and Queen Sansa of the North is standing in front negotiating an alliance.
They finally got a stable world safe from the ice zombies and crazy cersei but at what cost.
I just hope there's no stupid meta St. Elsewhere's ending, or a Deus or Diabolous ex Machina ending where R'hllor suddenly descends upon everyone or some shit.

Hrm. Aerys is quoted by Jaime as having been saying "burn them all" over and over even as he stabbed him.
I wonder if the theory of
the whispers to the mad king being Bran greenseer/timewarging and whispering to him, driving him mad. He collects all the wildfire but isn't able to burn them because Jaime stops him. But now that the white walkers are here, I wonder if Bran whispers to Cersei or there's some symmetry there.

Most everyone but Cersei is up north.
