He's either going to show up in the books and confirm Jon's heritage or never show up again because GRRM's writing style leads to a lot of dead ends.

He had no point in the show.

Stabbed Ser Arthur Dayne in that flashback. That was sort of important.

But the whole point I'm making is that at that point in the castle Ramsay no longer can threaten them. He's dead and everyone knows it. Tying a sack on his head and yelling "We'll open the gates and hand over Ramsay if you let us go." is the only out they had. Instead they are slavishly devoted to a man who even the show pointed out doesn't have anyone actually loyal to him. It even would have been some 8th grade book reporting for Jon to honor said deal unlike Ramsay's deal with the Ironborn. Hell the literal next episode has Jon do just that by not having everyone who didn't fight for them killed or disinherited like Sansa wants.

Semi-related and forgive me if this has been discussed:

Remember the Tower of Joy flashback when Young Ned was briefly aware of someone's (Bran's) presence? I'm not naive enough to think this will come up again in the finale, but it sure would be nice

I'm looking forward to Talk the Thrones on the Ringer because I think they're contractually obligated to not bash the show. Their discomfort discussing the nuclear holocaust last week without being able to call it rubbish was palpable.

Some would argue it aged very appropriately.

Between this and that horrific Fight Song parody, it's looking even less surprising that Trump won.

It sort of came up again when Bran warged into Hodor and Meera told him to "hold the door" but I would be shocked if anything else came of it.

Sons of Anarchy: One of the main plots was that Jax's father was killed by his mother and now stepfather before the series, but for the first few seasons this was mostly ignored in favor of establishing the characters and such, which is fine. It comes to a head with Jax discovering the stepfather's involvement in the end of season four. Further development of this for the remaining years is pretty much ignored after Jax gets the stepfather arrested in season five's conclusion. The club breaks him out and then kills him after a whole season of him being pretty well removed from the action so there's no catharsis for this main antagonist's death. The final season's main plot is pretty much done with in four episodes with the rest of the screen time leading to the last two episodes being spent on fetch quest plots. Jax does kill his mother but for something unrelated, and then the finale opens with him burning any proof of her killing his father without ever learning the truth himself before spending the finale killing any remaining bad guys we stopped caring about a long while before, and then he finally drives his father's bike into a truck to off himself. Oh and maybe his dad knew his bike had been tampered with but decided to let himself get killed, that's something they inserted into the plot for absolutely no reason at the last minute.

That's all just scratching the surface. I could write a novel on how bad those two ended up being.

I could never take peggy seriously after married with children anyway.
