I always wonder how well the people in the back of the pack hear her. She's a small woman on a dragon. Doubtful after the first few rows anyone can make out what she's saying.


In a show with Dragons and snow zombies, the way a character's voice carries in a crowd is bothering you

The shite will hit the fan when Tommen finds out that Jamie is his real father. When he does, Tommen might well step down from the Iron Throne acknowledging that he is an abomination and does not have a legitimate claim to the Crown, throwing himself off of a cliff like should have been done shortly after his birth.

Having said this, it might work better if Margery is sincere since Tommen is good person at heart.
I think it's equally possible that she's really angry that he didn't get her out of prison ASAP. She might be the one to kill him.

We might get a really intense scene in which Tommen is killed, Cersei loses the trial by combat and is strangled by Sandor (the little brother) with a noose, the possible method of her execution.

I think Cersei is about to get the rug pulled out from under her. She is way too confident in the Mountain and her trial by combat. The HS is going to take that option away and force her to trial. With Jamie sent away and Tommen putty in Margaery and HS' hands, she's f*cked.

I agree with the thinking that Arya killing the Waif is her test and after she will go back to Westeros. I don't think she will be one of the faceless men, but I think Jaqen will back her.

I'm really interested in what LF is up to, he's one of my favorite characters and always has a curveball up his sleeve.

I don't think so. Her being queen is her family's rise/claim to fame and prominence. Plus the king is easily manipulated. If she can get rid of Cersei then she becomes unequaled in influence in KL.

Yea, I think this is more likely and if Cersei is found guilty then Tommen no longer has a claim to the throne leaving Margery in the driver's seat.

Yeah, I don't think we'll see LF again until E9. I do think he'll be a huge part of S7 & S8 though.

I wonder if there's any chance that we'll see Cersei's trial this season or have to wait until the beginning of S7.

There is no heir. I think she'd be regent in the event of Tommen's death, especially if she's pregnant at the time.

The prophesy says that Cersei won't die until after her children all die. If Cersei loses the trial, she'll likely sit in jail for a while, just long enough to know that Tommen has died. Then, she could be hanged by the executioner, Sandor.

I'm not saying this will happen, but it's a decent theory. In any event, she will still be alive when Tommen dies.

The waif doesn't belong with the Faceless Men. She wants to kill Arya. She has since Jaqen took her in as she believes Arya doesn't belong. She smiles at the opportunity when Jaqen finally tells her to take Arya out. Jaqen knows that Arya is not meant for the Faceless Men and that a price has to be paid for her leaving. He is leaving it up to fate to decide who's death pays that price.


I agree with all of this. At first, I thought the Waif was just trying to make it hard on her but it's pretty obvious she has a personal vendetta toward her. And that's not acceptable to the FM.

Cersei guilty leads to Tommen suicide.

Then the prophecy of her outlasting her children and being replaced by a younger more beautiful Queen has come true.

All that's left for Cersei is the Valonqar's hands...

Not really. If Tommen loses his legitimacy to the point of losing the crown, then sexy Margery loses her legitimacy as well. She is only there as a by-product of Tommen. Without him, she is nothing more than Oleana's granddaughter (or Mace's daughter, whatever).

I tend to think if we have 2 more seasons with 8 episodes in each that she'll die at the end of S7.

Did you see what happened when Robert died WITH an heir??? There would be a mad dash to seize the throne by everyone with a sizable army. As Tommen's queen, Margaery will run shite.

We know Tommen's going to die, i just don't see it happening by the queen's hands.

Once Tommen dies the throne will be chaos.

IMO the throne being up for grabs will be the conflict to distract the Southerners from the WW.

best way to put it. The only way that Margery remains queen is if she is carrying Tommen's heir. That would give her legitimacy as Queen regent. This is assuming that Tommen dies. If he's ruled illegitimate, then she's fricked even if she is with parasite.

I mean with child.

This would not surprise me given Tommen's sincere/fragile character.

In retrospect, you are obviously correct. The thrown will be up for grabs and the High Septon might well be viewed as the authority until a new king is determined. Meanwhile Daenarys will be coming to take the crown.

There was still an heir, and the war broke out because Ned found out that Joffrey wan't Robert's son.

I'm down with this. Arya will kill the waif, become the waif and skip town to go knock some more people off her list.
