I can't think of any king who would not sic the army on these sparrows if they captured and tortured his wife and mother.

Even under the strongest rule of the Church during the middle ages.

That wouldn't look good for the new king to slaughter a bunch of peasants. It's not like they're hurting the queen anyhow.

A real king wouldn't care. Let them know you r ruthless first, then you can be nice.

Isn't Tommen just a young boy? Who is now advising him?

His mother was advising him not to mess with the Faith Militant. She was the one that told him that they would use the queen as a hostage. Now that she's been taken, he'd be smart to turn to the Queen of Thorns...but he probably won't.

Kevan did say that he would not come to court as long as Cercei was running things

That opens up him to come to KL to be hand and start fixing shite until Varys has enough of that

Pycelle I'm guessing, and soon Kevan. I'm sure he'll come to King's Landing like in the book right when he hears what happened to Cersei.

I'm thinking we see Kevan come back next episode and he doesn't get killed until S6.

Isn't that more or less what happens in the books when Cersei gets all shaved and shamed?

The way the show has diverged from the books so much, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Littlefinger and the Queen of Thorns

Season should end with Kevan's murder then John getting stabbed then the screen goes black.

So, if you are the High Sparrow's D.A., what are you charging Cersei with:

Count 1 - Regicide
Count 2 - Brother fricking
Count 3 - Cousin fricking
Count 4 - Murdered a Septa
Count 5 - Accessory to toddler flinging
Count 6 - Cruelty to Direwolf
Count 7 - Inciting a Riot/War
Count 8 - Kidnapping/Hostage Taking
Count 9 - Manufacture of Zombie with Intent to Distribute
Count 10 - Generally Being a Bad Person

That one she won't get since it's not even frowned upon in Westeros, but she will get one for sex outside of marriage.

When did she murder a Septa?

Mordane...not at her hands but at her command. I would add Stark household guard, but they were soldiers.

I thought Mordane's beheading was ordered by Joffrey?

She didn't poison her children, though the intent was there and she almost did it.

Well, if it's based on Lancel's testimony, I'd bet on Regicide............
