Tyrion had someone make a bunch of wildfire. Maybe he stocked the surplus away?
caches would be leftover from the mad king's plot to "burn them all"
Yeah I'm thinking that was the goal of sending out those kids - to find out where the rest of the surplus was located from the mad king. Tyrion located one cache but supposedly there are numerous other storage spots.
and it's just the next terrible decision by cersei, as it'll no doubt kill people she cares about. considering the riverrun siege is over and characters can move as quickly across the realm as they please, i wonder if jaime will be around in time for the trial at the sept.

he probably makes it back just in time to see her horrible decision come to fruition.
maybe he realizes he has to stab his sword through her back as well to save lives
This would be a great move for him to make in the book, as a sort of completion to his redemption arc. It's a shame they've thrown that away in the show.
i read that article too, and i don't think they've abandoned it yet in the show. his speech to edmure could just be an attempt to raise the drama of his eventual realization that cersei is no good. along with his scene with cersei earlier in the season, when he implies that he doesn't really care about his kids, just her.

jaime rolls into the sept, sees what's about to happen to his last living child, and makes the impossible yet honorable decision to save tommen (who's relatively innocent) by killing cersei (who he loves, but realizes in that moment is pure evil). jaime is redeemed and his thinking is no longer clouded by her.

and then the mountain rips his head off, but hey, maybe he has a shot at going to the seventh heaven now.
Jaime's transformation works better as a slow, gradual process though. If our speculation about the show is true, then it seems very wish-washy "is he good or bad, does he have honor or not!?" back and forth before letting the coin settle. Give me the slow burn any day.

i don't disagree, but clearly, the show is no longer interested in slow burns, so this would be one way to redeem jaime with only so many episodes and bigger things to tackle left.

no successor. in stable times, the heads of the great houses would get together and sort it out, but things are currently chaotic, so it'd probably be the lannisters (cersei) and tyrells (margaery) butting heads for the throne.
Seems like with the north and south in open revolt and some number of dead Lannisters and Tyrells, everyone will just go back to their cities and make their own kingdoms.

Everyone will shake hands and part amicably. The End.

I agree. Seems like way to much to cram into the final episode of this season. This week is going to be all battle and it will be glorious.

Maybe Cerci's plan is ruined and in a fit of classic cersi rage she tells Tommen that he's a product of incest and this fact drives the fragile kid to kill himself since he's all one with god now.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The book version of Dolorous Edd is my favorite character. I hope he becomes king.
