It's pretty ironic how Jaime killed king Targaryen for planning to use the stockpiled wildfire on his own city, yet his own sister ended up using the very same wildfire in the middle of King's Landing. I guess Cersei inherits the title the Mad Queen.

His theory is that Sansa will rule Westeros not the North. Interesting that the witch's prophecy was that someone younger (a woman) will take her place for power. The obvious answer Danny, would be epic if it's Sansa instead though. If the guy ends up being right, that will be one of the most interesting and fucked up developments to a character in a storyline ever. Personally I have no idea who will be there at the end. :\
Chills.
It's "coll" not "call."

And that particular action indirectly killed her son. Cersei is truly off the wagon. Are there any lannisters left besides her and Jaime?
Perhaps the irony will not be lost on Jaime.
That is almost definitely the parallel they were trying to draw at the end there.
It's not set in stone, so we will see, but your expectation is exactly why they said its likely. They don't have enough time to put together 10 episodes on this level in a year
It all just comes from this interview:

We'd be waiting 2 years for that 10 episode season then. Battle of the Bastards took around 30-40 days of filming.
You literally can't get high production episodes like that done in that quantity in that time window.

The half-man
Are you sure? I thought it was a call to arms. It's call in the captions
Sansa turning on Jon seems like it would be completely betraying the keen judgment of character she's demonstrated to have developed.
I don't think anyone wants to hear HBO suggest something like that ever again. Fool me once...
I hate Cersie, but god damn it if she wasn't entertaining in the last episode. She topped Ramsey. It felt like watching The Dark Knight while the faith militant and the Tyrells we her at the trial. Cersei was the Joker and you just know the Joker had a horrific trap set up for them. Strange comparison, but that's really how I felt. The sense of dread that was built up before the big reveal really reminded me of TDK.

I know its GoT and all, but i didnt get any rape vibes from that scene, Gregor was standing beside sister unella when she was screaming, you can see in the window im sure it was just torture.

Finally saw the finale and like the prior episode it was pretty fantastic. I thought this season was a big improvement over the last, and it certainly has the strongest ending of any season imo. All the scenes about the scepta/cersei/tommen were straight fire (heh heh). Great music too.
These last two episodes (especially the prior one) I feel like have been shot a lot better too. Game of Thrones has always been a polished, good looking show, but never really played with the form too much or create many memorable images, but they used the camera to great advantage here.

I think Tywin said that there were a bunch of Lannisters spread across his lands, but non of them are important. The only ones left to lead the family are Jaime and Cersei.
I retract what i said about Margery. Stannis and Cercei, Lords of the L

Yeah, it would be a huge regression of her character because she would end up being manipulated and used for someone else's benefit once again.
I think this will be her "final test" and she'll end up killing Littlefinger.

He got killed off by little boys and girls. It implied that Cersei was cleaning the house who kept influencing Tommen.
Yeah man, I don't understand why they didn't show Dany putting her ass over the side and taking a shit into the ocean.
I just can't relate if they don't show how life on a medieval boat was really like.
Lots of people bring this up, but it's as straight forward as it looks to me. You give candy and bread to a bunch of poor children, and they in turn murder a corrupt lecherous old bag of shit; and blow up an entire church filled with people for you. Simple.
Lost shot should've been everyone throwing up and dying of scurvy.
I think he is referring to why bother when he would have died in the explosion anyway.
My theory is they need someone to pin the blame on for the explosion and they'll use him.

Jaime: Cersei why did the Sept of Baelor suddenly blew up? Where the fuck is everyone!?
Cersei: Uhh...poisoned by their enemies?
Ah, I see. Yeah, that's a good scape goat. After all, maesters are the ones who know a thing or two about wild fire.

Water is not wet!
i just figured Pycell wasnt going to the trial so they had to deal with him directly. i mean he was with a prostitute while everyone else was gathered for the trial.

Poisoned by his enemies
It was pretty apparent Tommen was not meant for this world. Gotta feel bad for him a little bit.
Probably just Qyburn making it personal after all the shit talking Pycelle has done to him in front of Cersei.
This again ...
They just wanted to avoid the cliche title related to time skips (granted it causes a bit of confusion for a moment), because they figure their audience is smart enough to realize there are Dornish and Tyrell ships sailing along.
Just imagine the title "1 month later..." is in the picture, and everything is fine.
Some questions:
Why did Jon and Sansa smile when Winter arrived? BTW: They could've done a bit more than just "yo bruh, white raven = Winter lol"
Jamie will be the Queen Slayer, right? This is where this all goes down to.
So the Dorne storyline literally is "we just want to kill them all"? That's it?
I kinda haven't realised yet that we've lost Margaery in all of this. ;_;
The last Stark, where the hell is he gonna go now? Is he glued to the tree forever now or what.
Is Jon maybe Father of Dragons but just hasn't realised it yet?

I figured that Qyburn killed him of his own volition simoly to take out the competition. AND it's not like there was any love loss between Cersei and Pycelle.
Little birds are the real key to power.

since Cersei is in full power now and all her kids are dead can she just admit she's fucking Jamie now and make him her king?
She probably thinks that keeping all the power to herself will work just fine.

Pretty sure Cersei had him killed. The way Pycelle smirked at Cersei just because he had Tommen's ears pretty much rubbed Cersei the wrong way in past episode and simply had him taken care of. I guess using those children seemed more convenient.
For a moment I thought they were going to try and frame Pycelle for the Wild Fire, but now I don't think Cersei even gives a fuck about pretending it wasn't her.
In fact, she probably counts on fear to establish her reign... for however long that will last that is.
