I expect that something will go sideways while trying to rescue Margaery, and Olenna will align the Tyrells with Dorne against the Lannisters. I'd imagine that Dorne is also where Dany will land, so maybe Tyrion will send an envoy there seeking an alliance.
Varys, perhaps? He still needs to make it back to westeros to kill Kevan and Pycelle.

I think you're right. The dude that plays Loras is signed on to play Ironfirst so he may not be part of the next season. His death during a rescue by Lannister and Tyrell forces would be enough to cause the Tyrells to align with Dorne. Just a thought.

Thought about setting everybody at work on fire and walking naked out into London, but I'm pretty sure I'd get arrested rather than worshipped.

Before the episode I thought "hey, i wonder if we havent seen Sir Loras since he's doing Iron Fist"
then he was in the episode. For less than 2 minutes. Outside of the principle characters, I cant imagine other projects have much impact on GoT. I bet by the end of the season even Jon Snow or Tyrion each still have less than a half an hour of screen time.

Killing and reanimating jon snow was completely pointless and had no emotional impact.

I always felt that the whole point was to release him from his nights watch vows. Nothing more, nothing less.

And to make him less naive.

I'll reiterate: They should've left him dead and had him warg into his direwolf.
maybe they'll do that in the books. it'd be stupid in the show.

I think so too. This could be a nice way to keep book readers guessing about his arc in TWOW.

Ramsey didn't send the letter, that it was from little finger, to get to snow to head to winterfell. But I don't believe it because you saw a bolton man delivery the message.
