Jaime and Cersei had damn well better be dead. Or I shall be very cross.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I would be v v happy if Nymeria came back and killed Cersei in the finale, since Arya's probably going to have to kill Dany.

This. I know the last episode is going to have Too Much Stuff smushed into it, let's not add Jaime and Cersei.

If we're lucky we'll get a shot of them both smushed under dragonrubble holding hands and smiling or some such.
But I'm pretty sure that falling rubble doesn't count as a legit way to end a major character. It's the most classic of cliffhangers from an old serial, barring actually hanging from a cliff.
Even falling from a great height doesn't count unless you hear a splat, see a bloodpooled body or they go, Clegane-style, into a fiery holocaust.
Also all other parts of Cersei's prophecy have come true, so she's supposed to be choked to death by her younger brother.
She's Not Dead Yet, I'll wager.

Jamie survives the bricks, then he kills Cersei, then a cache of dragonfire explodes, and he walks through the flames, then an anvil falls on him and he gets up and kills Dany, making him a thrice-over Kingslayer.

OMGYES. I am officially ok with Cersei surviving having the Red Keep dropped on her if Nymeria rips her throat out.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
From the NY Times. I totally missed this:
I and many others missed what might have been a significant scene at the very beginning of the episode. It came when Varys was in close conversation with one of his "little birds," a kitchen maid named Martha, who says that Daenerys isn't eating.
"We'll try again at supper," he says.
On Monday, some astute "Thrones" fans suggested that Varys, having decided that the Dragon Queen was unfit to rule, was trying to poison her.
Go back and rewatch the scene: It's pretty convincing, especially when you consider 1.) that Varys was previously involved in a plot to poison Dany for King Robert in Season 1, an assassination attempt she mentioned to Gendry last week, and 2.) how the camera lingered on one of his rings — a poison container? — as he removed it before facing his execution.
Who knows what, if anything, will come of it. But I love that this close to the end, the show is still slipping in sneaky things like this.

Oooh yeah, he actually told Tyrion she hadn't accepted any food.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I definitely thought that he was trying to poison her in that scene.
