Does anyone remember what Quburn was searching for in terms of information?

Not sure about that one. Tyrion, Cersei and Jaime - their characters have been meaningless this season. When Edmure Tully outshines Jaime Lannister, we need to talk. And LS is coming. Lady Crane's "vengeful mother" speech as Cersei nailed it home yet again. Tyrion being a waste is too much. And why did they have a long arsed conversation with Jaime and Edmure about decency? Only to have Jaime make the threat I loved best to be about getting back to his precious f-ing Cersei!?! Also I thought the fact Beric was still hanging about, that meant we could kiss LSH good bye, since she'd be fleshless bones by now. I agree the foreshadowing is pretty heavy handed, but I can't see how it would work now.

They did hint very heavily about LS, but when I saw Beric I knew they weren't also going to have her.
The confusing part for me was to have the three hanged men talking about the Lord of Light, unless they were supposed to be impersonating the Brotherhood Without Banners?
I thought Jaime's speech to Edmure was lame. I just didn't believe him anymore that he felt that passionate about Cersei.
There were so many bizarre twists last night that I just can't see it happening this way in the books. Yes Jaime does take Riverrun without a battle, but the Blackfish disappears...he doesn't get killed off camera.
Maybe the info Cersei is asking Qyburn about is wildfire? Maybe that is why they showed us Aerys II saying "burn them all"? Cersei chooses violence. If she can't have her son or the Iron Throne, then she'd rather burn them all.
The storm cut off my satellite with 15 more minutes to go. I had to finish watching on my iPad and HBOGO. (internet is a land line).

Does anyone remember what Quburn was searching for in terms of information? The next shot was Tyrion, so maybe the whereabouts of Tyrion? Would fit with the revenge theme from mummerCersei. But logic seems nonexistent in the show, so it's probably something else. They did hint very heavily about LS, but when I saw Beric I knew they weren't also going to have her. So mad about this. Tyrion being a waste is too much. How many scenes are there with drunk Tyrion trying to make meaningless small talk while sober Missandei and Grey Worm just sit there? Three? This is what D&D are doing with the character? I thought Jaime's speech to Edmure was lame. I just didn't believe him anymore Agreed. Secondary and tertiary characters have been leagues more interesting this season.

I'm still reeling at the thought that THIS was the EIGHTH episode of the season. Just flabbergasted at the waste of airtime.

She's going to burn the Sept down if she's likely to lose her trial. The next shot was Tyrion, so maybe the whereabouts of Tyrion? Would fit with the revenge theme from mummerCersei. But logic seems nonexistent in the show, so it's probably something else. This was the impression I got as well, but Mel may be right. As the last known person to use wildfire successfully, cutting away to Tyrion would make some strange sort of sense.

I'm guessing Thoros has seen the battle for the dawn in the flames right? How else would Beric know who the real enemy is? See as how the wights can only be killed with fire, I don't hold out too much hope for the Hound being involved. Still trying to figure out how we can Cleganebowl now that there will be no TbC.
Also another thought, what if all the heavy foreshadowing is for the Red Wedding 2.0 and not LSH? All of these mentions of how the Cat and the Starks were betrayed, and the heavy handed way they've been talking about violence and vengeance could be just pointing to a second massacre to come. Only who's left to enact that vengeance? If the BwB has lost it's way and they're heading up north to deal with the threat from beyond the Wall, and there is no LSH, the Blackfish is dead and Edmure is a wuss, who has the motivation to kill Freys anymore?

who has the motivation to kill Freys anymore? Arya. But I'd be shocked if D&D teleported her to Freyland before the season is over. Still holding out hope for LS though.

Still holding out hope for LS though. It's possible Thoros already resurrected her without Beric having to give up his life. What I found strange is neither Beric nor Thoros asked the Hound about Arya. They had to know she was taken by him when she ran away from that cave. If Brienne knows, then they would have to know as well, right?

Adding to this is Arya's comments to the actress that the queen would be more than sad at the loss of her son...she would be angry. Tommen isn't dead, but she lost him, so to speak so in her anger she'll probably try to blow up the Sept with wildfire.

If Brienne knows, then they would have to know as well, right? I agree! And at this point Sansa knows Arya is alive. And Jon knows Bran is alive. Why isn't this a topic of convo? the queen would be more than sad at the loss of her son...she would be angry. I was getting chills imagining that Lady Crane was playing Cat during the death scene. Everything fit. I could be totally wrong, wouldn't be the first time. But maybe there's a deeper parallel/mirror between Cat and Cersei than we suspected?

That is frustrating that we don't see Sansa and Jon discussing Arya and Bran! Now you make me want the transcript of Lady Crane's speech!
