6. Why did Edmure and others get screentime? Good question, no
answer. Unless the producers just thought we'd be wondering, "Hm, what about all those other folks, shouldn't they be taking part in this negotiation?
7. I also thought it was pretty tacky to let Tyrion just stand there with the shackles on during the whole parlay. Spose just nobody thought of it. Grey Worm wasn't gonna do it.
8. Did Bran know the whole time? You bet. I was startled when he said, "Why do you think I came all this way?" He couldn't have done anything to change what happened, so he just let it all play out. He probably knows when Dany will come back as the Ice Queen.
9. Arya knows she needs a new purpose, and I expect she doesn't see one coming up in the rebuilding of Westeros.
10. Sansa will be a very good queen and live a very long life. Everybody will love her.

Who put the Starks in charge? Well, all along it's been pretty much Starks vs Lannisters, with all the other kingdoms throwing in their lot with one or the other. As Sansa said, the North was always seen as separate and independent. That's one reason Ned Stark was stuck in the Lannisters' craw and after Robert Baratheon died, they were only too ready to go after him. Now, when the Lannisters are out of the power picture, they're the default big cheeses. Nobody else at that parlay would have the nerve to stand up to them.

Grey Worm was just trying to fulfill his vows the best he could figure out how. Without Dany, he wasn't going to just go asking around, "Who do I answer to now?" Jon killed her - so wouldn't he have to answer for that? Tyrion insulted her. And they all got Missandrei killed. He's pissed.

I think that Jon's heritage was swept under the rug because after all the things that have happened in the name of the Iron Throne, and after seeing what the other Targaryen just did, it was thought that the less said about the "rightful" king, the better. Jon would agree with that, and his sisters knew it. Everybody was, to use a modern metaphor, gunshy.

What happened to Dany's body should be obvious, although it took me a few minutes. Drogon flew her to the far North, where the Night King was created. He knows something about people coming back to life after being killed, specifically his brother/sister (I don't know which is which). Dany will be the new Night Queen, spend the next few hundred years or whatever it takes, to build up her army. And then history repeats itself.
