When cersei doesn't turn up to the trial.
Cersei kept telling them she wanted trial by combat and that she chose violence. Since they wouldn't let her use the Mountain, she had to take things into her own hands.

Why wouldn't she be heir? Offspring of the king beats nephew of the king, surely?
But the confusion really shouldn't take that long to overcome with visual cues like Oleena's outfit and understanding that it probably took weeks if not a few months for Dany to consolidate her power in Mereen, Astapor, and Yunkai. As well as gather the supplies for her army for the voyage to westeros. More than enough time to take a ship back to Mereen.
She's a woman. In medieval terms only good for marrying and making babies.
But she has lady parts so it goes King > King's son > King's son's son > King's daughter.
Joffrey came before Stannis. Same with Jon coming before Daenerys even if she was a dude.
And this is Jon's actual relationship. He was the heir's son.
Grandson of the King.
I really despise this meme but this one had me laughing, you got me Dennis
Just watched the finale for a second time, just masterful work, zero fat, everything on screen drives the narrative forward without fucking around.
A bit cheesy but I also thought of my uncle who introduced me to the fantasy genre when I was a kid. He died of cancer in 1987 but Seven Hells he would have LOVED this!
But it does to Dany, a lot, so once she finds this out she will have to betray a part of who she is and if she doesn't give the Throne to Jon then she becomes a hypocrite.
to be fair, Jon's father was the king's son and nephew
After everyone else is defeated, Littlefinger gonna reveal himself to be loyal to House Mormonts and that Lyanna is to be his eventual bride.

Daario commented how they started painting the sails when he spoke with Dany and obviously that task wasn't completed overnight. Also it was the final scene of the episode, you can be a little looser with time jumps.
Haha, She'd sass their way to the Iron Throne easily.
Right, but Rhaegar was the presumptive future king.
Ah, yeah. My bad. Targs are confusing.

If Jon is a trueborn son, he was the only (living) son of the crown prince (Dany's older brother), making him the direct heir for the Targ line of succession.
It's all a bit muddy because a) that line of succession was broken by Robert by right of conquest, and b) we have to assume until we know otherwise that Jon was born out of wedlock, meaning he gets nothing without a royal legitimacy letter. I don't think Cersei would write such a letter.
Wait, wait, wait, I just noticed this lmfao
I wonder how all this will play out although I am 99% sure Jon will not fight for the throne whatever happens.
Btw what happened to Kinvara?

can you explain this? I have trouble keeping up with all the story threads and small details...
And yeah. Unless Lyanna and Rhaegar were married or there was some form of legitimacy made, he'd still be a bastard putting him behind Dany. Just a Targaryan one instead of a Stark.
Of course Jon doesn't want the throne and he'd probably be Dany's ideal husband anyway. Targaryan, good looking, brave, has the respect of a good chunk of Westeros.
I'd be surprised if Jon took it. He'd be the type to say "there's only one Targaryen in this world and I'm talking to her. I'm going back to the North."
"But ... be safe."
Though it's been pointed out Danaerys can't have kids. Which means it's up to Jon as to whether there are any more Targaryens.
Because Jon is Rhaegar's son he'd be next in line for the throne....if he weren't a bastard. Dany is still the true heir to the Targaryan throne.

You're in luck, there are multiple seasons of Tudors available for your streaming pleasure. I thought her death was extremely satisfying, but I've always rooted for Cersei's in their conflict.
I guess that would make him a bastard of the Crownlands, so he'd melt into Jon Waters (Crownlands bastard name).

Nah, I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Its good though. This season underwhelmed me but the last three episodes are the highest peak the show has hit yet.
Also, OMG if that were the case.

When cersei doesn't turn up to the trial.
At least they gave her a solid ending of telling the high sparrow to fuck off and realizing shit was about to go down.
It'll be interesting whether it's before or after taking King's Landing, Danny won't be keen on the idea of White Walkers coming into Westeros. She's gonna have to ally with Jon and that's what makes him prime for marriage material right now. Even if she knew she was related to Jon, she might say "Fuck it. That's how we Targs do."

Good catch, never even though about that.
Isn't it based on where they were born? If that's the case, and the Tower of Joy is in Dorne, then Sand?

thanks for the recommendation, but been there and done that. I've been a fan of hers for a while now, i guess.

Pretty much. While it was a pleasant sight, that hardly fixes anything retroactively. There's no cawing on my plate.

Wait so his name should be Jon Rivers?

there's a pretty cool moment in S1 where the shot lingers on Jeor and Aemon before cutting to Jorah and Dany side by side in Essos. Forget the ep.
Here's my real recommendation - choose a Queen with fangs instead of thorns next time
He betrayed her. She doesn't put up with that shit, her child or no.
Yep. She was great!

I liked that they showed a plan completely not working out.
So the End Game players are:
Daenerys Targaryen
Cersei Lannister
Euron GreyJoy
Peter Baelish
Sansa Stark
Jon Targaryen
I think we can count Euron out. He may spur some shit but he's going to lose big time to anyone in that list. Dany and Jon being the obvious power players and Cersei is no slouch. But Little Finger and Sansa are not to be underestimated either.
Man next season can't come soon enough.

Cersei Lannister

I'll agree with this. From looks alone he would have been another character for me to roll my eyes at when heads were talking. However, like Charles Dance, his performance lifted his role and (in worst cases, just a bit) the entire episodes he had good screen time in.
The High Sparrow was good.
