Looks like a cursory reading is all you did. The Tyrells may have no problem changing sides, but Stannis does not like traitors. He may accept part of Renly's former army because he considers the Stormlords his army by right (as an elder Baratheon brother), but why on earth would he trust the Tyrells? They have not…

Sorry, I disagree completely. If Stannis believed this for even a second, he wouldn't have bothered with a costly war or any of the things he's been doing since he killed Renly. He'd have sent a shadowbaby to assassinate Joffrey and Tommen, and then walked into King's Landing the next day to ask for his throne.

It's book canon that Myrcella is Tommen's heir. Stannis also considers Shireen his heir. None of them seems to believe that females cannot sit on the Iron Throne.

She gets it from the non-chauvinist people who are left alive.

Joan had a right to be angry with him - but IMO, she went overboard with her anger. It's one thing to not want Don back at the firm because he's bad for business - but Joan was acting as if he had done something bad to her personally. She was treating him like she hated him, which just doesn't gel with anything in…

But knowing that Don had a poor and miserable childhood is not the same as knowing that he deserted from the army and stole a dead man's identity. Even Don's children now know that he came from poverty (since Don apparently now uses that information as a pick-up line). But they surely don't know that their name should…

Roger wasn't really a mentor - he and Don were friends, but Don didn't really look up to him (hard to do that to a man who was so drunk that he forgot he didn't really hire you).

Oh, please, if Joan had dragons and/or Unsullied, you know she'd make way better use of them than Dany has done so far (and I say that as a Dany fan). One good 'Dracarys' from our Joanie, and the whole of McCann-Ericson would be in flames (well, the chauvinist pig portion of it, anyway).

Seven seasons and a movie!

But Jane didn't have drunken escapades with Roger. She did, however, drop acid with him - and it was indeed transformative.

No - that was the Targaryen rule. It's not a general Westerosi law. The latter states that Tommen inherits before Myrcella, because he is male, though younger than her (unlike Dornish law, which goes by primogeniture alone), but Myrcella is next in line to the throne after Tommen. Cersei certainly seems to think so.…

Spoilers from trailers:

I didn't mean that I personally find the romance between Grey Worm and Missandei interesting - just that, objectively speaking, GW is likely to survive because there's an unfinished romantic subplot left for him, whereas Barristan doesn't have any specific story left unfinished (apart from being Dany's advisor in…

Rhaegar never burnt anyone. His crazy dad did that (when Rhaegar wasn't around, btw).

Rhaegar was around 24-25.

Actually, Myrcella will get the throne. That's part of the prophecy too.

The fact is, whether or not Rhaegar raped Lyanna doesn't really affect the R+L=J theory. Either way, the two of them had sex, so Lyanna could have gotten pregnant with Jon, and been afraid for his life.

Tyrion and Dany are definitely going to meet - and become best buds, judging by the on-set photos they released (of the fighting pit scene, which will probably be in episode 9).

A knife in the gut is pretty fatal in real life. But in TV land, it's only a flesh wound.

Obviously the celebrity recognition factor in Westeros isn't as high as in the photo-filled modern world, but Jaime has been (a) a Kingsguard and (b) an active participant in tourneys for a long time. Many people have seen him when he accompanied the Kings he served on their journeys and/or when he participated in…
