That would be my guess, setting up a theocracy with the HS at the top, but we don't know enough about his motives to base it on anything concrete.

Hound: Prefer chicken.
It is easy to forget that the conversation between Cersei and the HS happened the way it did when everyone in the show is walking around like it a) never happened, or b) they don't realize the implications!
Repost, but there seems to be confusion on this point…
Incorrect. She already admitted to sleeping with Lancel. That is what her walk of atonement was for.
"You laid with your brother" can happen without adding "who fathered Tommen".
Huh. I never thought of that.
I just figured the "black of hair" thing would be used to prove the incest, and it would de facto negate Tommen's claim to the throne. We shall see…
*should take longer. But things move at the speed of plot.
The Wall just got 20 feet higher!
Tyrion: There must be 20 miles of tunnels beneath the city (KL).
Varys: Closer to 50. The Targaryens built this city to withstand a siege and to provide escape if necessary.
But Tommen is literally putting his life and the lives of his entire family on the line. If Cersei is found guilty in her trial, then Tommen is not a legitimate Baratheon and has zero claim to the Iron Throne.
I don't buy him as being that stupid.
She can say "tipsy" in seven languages!
Braavos = her year abroad.
Yup! Remember the dialogue that Arya overheard before she spoke with the ship captain…
Ship Captain: He's not a lying man. He says the Iron Fleet's in Slaver's Bay. I'm inclined to believe him.
Beric knows something for sure…
Thoros: We are part of something larger than ourselves.
I thought that the guys Beric and Thoros were about to hang were in the Brotherhood but had gone rogue?
Beric: (gestures to men about to hang)They're our men. Or they were. They attacked a nearby sept and murdered the villagers.
Jaime is becoming his father…
Tywin: Explain to me why it is more noble to kill 10,000 men in battle than a dozen at dinner?
(S3E10: Mhysa)
Last week had another entry…
Cersei: You're right. I made a terrible mistake.
"One of them Faceless Folk will be rolling down the Braavos Stairs soon. Hide the fruit baskets. Again."
This scene really makes me think you are right…
Lady Olenna: What'll you do, then? You have no support. Not anymore. Your brother's gone. The High Sparrow saw to that. The rest of your family have abandoned you. The people despise you. You're surrounded by enemies, thousands of them. You're going to kill them all by…
And if Cersei is convicted of the accusations of adultery and incest, then Tommen is not a "true king"! Does the Faith declare itself THE power in KL?
