Have we established a strictly male line of succession among the Targaryens? Jon is the son of Dan's brother, but Dany is the daughter of the last Targaryen king, putting her technically a generation ahead of him, & the only surviving heir to the throne. Of course, things being as they are, the protocols are pretty…

Definitely—it's kind of a no-brainer that Cersei needs to lose. But still, I didn't want either Jaime or Bronn to die—especially Bronn. Bronn's death was more likely, because his role in the big picture is less critical—Jaime's plot armor is way too strong, at least for now.

I believe my exact words were, "Holy fucking shit!"

It certainly is for everybody around him.

Interesting idea. That would put BOTH of Cersei's "little brothers" into position to possibly fulfill the prophecy by killing her. Of course, the "next week on" preview showed Varys & Tyrion still working for Dany, so if she does banish Tyrion, it won't be right away.

Except doesn't Arya have to kill & take a face to wear said face? That serving girl whose face she used to get at Walder Frey was, I think, herself the night of the banquet that Bron & Jaime were at (i.e., not Arya yet), but I assume Arya killed her—as well as the Frey sons she served to ol' Walder—that same night,…

When Qyburn crowned Cersei at the end of season six, he was wearing the badge of the Hand of the Queen. We didn't see her put it on him, like we did with Dany & Tyrion, but he'd been wearing it ever since.

My prediction is that the other two dragons will die by the end of the series but that Drogon will live. Tonight was a close one, though.

Nope—young Pod has a normal size dick, as was confirmed by the hookers who swooned over him. That's one of the specific questions Tyrion & Bronn asked them.

Except Pat Robertson is really obviously skeevy, you can see his scammy smarm a mile away, & when you get close it's obvious he's a fucking lunatic. Osteen has a veneer of respectability—I can actually understand his appeal, though it's pretty easy to see through it if you try. Robertson's appeal, though, baffles me.

Until she opens her mouth. Between the hateful bullshit she spews & her intolerable buzzsaw whine of a voice, no amount of hotness could render her attractive.

Her sitting at the table after drinking the poisoned wine—and having the queen mother of last words—was the last thing we saw before the cut to black & end credits.

Hot Pie's tavern is in the Riverlands, though, & Jon & co. would have sailed out of White Harbor, which is in the north, so they wouldn't have passed by the inn.

D'oh! Shoulda proofed that better before posting.

Yeah—coulda been him. That certainly makes more sense. Guess I'll find out next Sunday!

Thanks for addressing this. I was this close to flagging his post, especially after seeing the third or fourth one down here. Hopefully he'll read this & do the right thing going forward.

I had the same thought—why waste perfectly good food? Throw garbage or horse shit or something sensible!

I'm gonna say it now: The three-headed dragon will be Dany, Jon, & Tyrion (who is also possibly half-Targaryen). It'll be an alliance rather than sexy-time. When the truth of Jon's parentage is known (& all the wars are over), he'll be legitimized as King in the North. Dany won't begrudge Jon a royal throne, since…

Also, that other Red Priestess we met back in Meereen seemed toknow what the voice from the flames said to Varys when his junk was burned after he was castrated, so maybe Melisandre knows, too? Maybe that voice spoke of Varys' ultimate fate? Of course, Melisandre has been wrong often enough, so who knows?

In the "next week on…", did anyone else see what looked like Gendry falling onto a beach? I went back & re-watched it & it really did look like him. If not him, who was it? And if him, why bring him back? Inquiring minds want to know!
