Arya and Sandor
Tyrion and Jaime
The whole stairway scene - Cleganebowl (perfect ending), Qyburn getting picked up like a bit of dust and thrown down, then Cersei nonchalantly walking past, between Gregor and Sandor
The parallel shots, back and forth, with Sandor biting the dust on the stairway while Arya was biting the dust outside, him getting thrown down and her getting thrown down as well, back and forth, back and forth
All of the scenes showing big hunks of walls crumbling down

1. Tyrion and Jaime's scene was wonderful and heartfelt. 2. Cleganobowl with the sky burning around them. 3. The last scene, Arya with the horse. 4. the horror of war (all of it). 5. Sansa smirking in Winterfell, thinking "I knew it" (cut in editing) 5. The dragon emerging from the darkness

1. CleganeBowl - I'll be the first to admit that I was never a hardcore devotee of this idea. People have been crying "Get Hype!" for so long that I felt like the memefication of it overtook the true narrative significance of what it would mean to see Sandor Clegane and Gregor Clegane face one another in a grand battle to the death. Nevertheless, once it became clear that it was inevitable, I was looking forward to it ... and what we got surpassed all of my expectations. That haunting, majestic shot of the Hound ascending the stairs to face the Mountain as the Red Keep crumbles around them and King's Landing burns in the background ... it quite literally took my breath away. One of the best in the entire series. The fight itself was appropriately gruesome, brutal, and ugly ... and yet felt classically beautiful in the scope of its impact and tragedy. And that final shot of the two of them going into the fire together ... My God.
2. Jaime and Cersei die together - It never could have happened any other way. Jaime and Cersei have been two of my favorite characters in this story, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Lena Headey have been two of my favorite actors. And they were INCREDIBLE in their final moments together (Lena, especially ... I don't know if she'll win her long-overdue Emmy this year, but Good God does she deserve it). I don't care about the niceties of the valonqar prophecy - though in many ways, I believe it actually was fulfilled. I don't care if some people think that Jaime backslid on his so-called redemption arc - it was never that simple and clean, and neither was this character (to the people believing that Jaime was done with Cersei forever because of "Put this in the fire" - a passage from the fourth book in a seven-book series that will never be finished, I don't know what to say to you except ... sorry). I don't care if some people thought that it was anticlimactic for them to die by having a building collapse on them - that building is the freaking Red Keep, an iconic symbol of power in this world, and so much of what Cersei and Jaime have done in their lives, together and apart, has been tied up in those walls - the things that they've done for power, for their children, for each other, for the realm ... for love. I thought everything about it worked, and that image of the Lannister twins holding one another, leaving the world together just as they came into it, was perfect.
3. Arya and the Pale Mare - OK, I don't know if it was actually a mare, but regardless, the symbolic nature of that idea is just too good to pass up. I loved everything that happened with Arya in this episode, but this sequence in particular - it was so beautiful and ethereal that I've seen some people wondering if it was actually a dream, a manifestation of Arya's dying mind as she departed this world. Obviously it's not, but I can understand the appeal of that theory because the scene really did feel like it transcended reality in the best possible way. Arya's probably had my favorite arc of any character this season ... from killing the literal manifestation of Death to finally rediscovering her humanity and choosing life as death rains down around her - I've just loved everything about it. All hail Maisie Williams - I really believe that she's delivering her best work ever.
4. Tyrion and Jaime say farewell - This scene was such a beautiful, tragic reflection of the Season 4 scene where Jaime freed Tyrion. At that time, the two brother thought that might be their final goodbye. This time, they know it. When Tyrion broke down talking about how he never would have survived his childhood without Jaime, and the way he clung to him like he never wanted to let go, even though he knew that he had too ... I broke down as well. Peter Dinklage, man. I know he's won three Emmys for this role, but it somehow still feels like he's underappreciated.
5. Dany and Jon by the fire - This scene tore my heart out ... and that's why it was so good. I wanted so, so badly for Jon and Dany to be happy together, and I held on to that hope tightly with every ounce of strength I could muster ... and this was the moment that my grip finally broke and I felt it all falling away. I mentioned this in the Best Lines thread, but when Dany said the words "All right, then ... let it be fear,", I felt my spine freeze and my stomach sink through the floor. I don't know if I've ever been more terrified or more heartbroken at any point watching this show.
Honorable Mentions: -The Hound finally convincing Arya to choose life over death, followed by Arya thanking him and calling him "Sandor" -Dany's initial attack destroying the Iron Fleet and the scorpions -Tyrion admitting to Varys that it was him and squeezing his arm before the Spider's execution -The horror on Jon's face as the Unsullied and Northmen start to sack the city -Arya's run through the streets ... essentially everything happening on the ground in King's Landing during the last half of the episode.

Jaime and Tyrion say goodbye (so heartfelt and genuine between these two actors who have fantastic chemistry)
Arya and Sandor (ditto to the comment above...^^^^^^)
Cleganebowl...every shot was like a cinematic painting and it was masterfully acted and Rory hit it out of the park.
