I don't know why you take the dismissive tone; having children by Robert was the only job she had.

No, Robert did need to give Cersei a reason to love him, she was his wife, she was the Queen, and he was stuck with her. Had he tried to love her they could have made a life that was passable. Failure to get the Queen's sexual frustration out risks creating all sorts of trouble for both of them and for the…

Understandable as in, "We can explain why she did it. She had done some evil shit and needed to cover it up, so she put some more evil shit on top it".

Robert didn't rape her. Robert didn't want her enough to rape her. If Robert had wanted her enough to rape her he wouldn't have had to (Cersei revered him at the beginning of their marriage), and Cersei probably would never have had to go to Jamie for male affection. The entire war in War of Kings would never have…

This is a bit of B.S. I am not pleased. It's like the show goes out of the way not to give us any positive relief.

Marital rape???? What's that got do with Cersei?

Giving someone a little bit of "act-right" normally does have that effect.

Wasn't at Hardhome with the Free Folk. Hadn't been converted to White or Whitewalker, or at least wasn't with their army last week.

Actually the Lord of Light could let her die and just bring her back. He's done it before. Was it Thoros of Myr that got killed by the Hound and then was suddenly alive like he had mad a wish on the dragonballs?

Practicing Christian here: I'll keep it short; don't want to interrupt the GoT discussion with real religion. The correct interpretation is…

But then, of course, Jon could be Ned's son and Ned could have been telling the truth the whole time. Ned has been known to tell the truth before.

That's what I was about to say.

Bastards are not heirs.

Also, bastards are not heirs. So even if Jon is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark, he would be Rhaegar's bastard, not his heir. Rhaegar was already married and Lyanna was promised to Robert. However, the Red Woman can use the blood of a bastard (see: Gendry). but that doesn't mean that you are the heir.

I wrote that line incorrectly.

Moreover, there is evidence directly against Jon being the son of Robert and Lyanna. Robert doesn't even remember what she looked like.

He had just better make sure that Trystane and Myrcella get married BEFORE they leave Dorne. Cersei is a certified idiot when it comes to trying to protect her children. She will no doubt pull another transparent and stupid plot to stop their marriage if she can.

I have a problem with the success these people have against the Unsullied as well. The Unsullied are hand picked from birth, trained to fight and only to fight literally from the moment they take their first steps, and weeded out through attrition. They would absolutely curb-stomp a group of random dudes in an ally.…

They make no sense to you because you are not religious. And who said they were duped, the Lord of Light, as Melissandre calls him, definitely responds.

I understand what you are saying and I think I agree with it a little bit. I have watched a lot of fiction. At a certain point, the story is told and you can see the end. The GOT is getting to that point rather quickly. The squabble over the Iron Throne is Westeros is just about told, it can only be resolved in…
