Her fanatical love for her children is well established.

I still feel Gendry's claim to the throne is stronger (if he's legitimate) over Dany or even Jon's claim to the throne.

Yes. See William The Conqueror (William I of England) and Henry Tudor (Henry VII of England). Both ascended to the throne by conquest, even though both did have a blood claim.

There's quite a difference between liberating slaves, like Dany did in Braavos and offering a pardon / amnesty to an army that just laid waste to one of your ally's forces.

That's exactly what I was talking about.

Uh, no. The Lannisters just wiped out Dany's ally: The Tyrells. "Defending themselves." LOL

Ah, I should amend my previous comment.

Honestly, I think Sam might be sad for Dickon, but relieved his father is dead. Dude was a grumpy son-of-a-bitch.

He also follows conversations pretty well. He knew exactly at whom to aim.

Nah. Robb Stark executed that Carstark dude by sword. Jon executed by hanging. Dany uses a dragon. Same thing, different method.

"Joral." LOL. Purposely mispronounce his name.

1. We have no idea if Arya is "being played." Let's see how it plays out.
2. Arya has every right to criticize Sansa's handling of the Lords of Winterfell in Jon's absence.

I object to you referring to Arya and Sansa's back-biting as being faux-feminist. Look at how Cersei and Tyrion fight. They're siblings. It's what siblings do.

Well, I think Jorah will be more discreet to whomever he reveals who healed him and by what methods since they were, kind of illegal, no?

Unless Cersei's lying and has no intention to honor any agreement with anyone.

And if Gendry isn't a bastard and is really Cersei's son, then HE would have the strongest claim since Robert deposed the Targaryens by conquest.

Little Finger The War of Five Kings accomplished more breaking of the wheel than Dany could ever dream of.

So would House Tyrell go to Lady Olenna's family (Redwyne)?

Acquit himself? Who? Tyrion? Thommen outlawed trial by combat. I haven't heard Cersei rescind that. Or are you talking about Gendry? What did he do that would require an acquittal?

Oooh! Then Gendry can marry Arya and House Baratheon and Stark would be FAMILY!
