I think the psychic thing is just sort of a gag they wrap around their insider rumors. Also, having seen the article, I have no idea what it's saying about Ser Pounce, but if anything bad happens to him I will hurt someone.

Yeah that's definitely a possibility. Hope they're rumors are right.

Tommen will get killed in exactly the way Tywin described, through his own decency.

He'll go out of his way to help someone and get thrown off the side of a tower or something for his trouble.
 
Wouldn't it be Stannis? After the children of the king comes the siblings of the king.

Assuming the Baratheon line of succession, yes if Robert's children don't have any children of their own then the throne would pass to Stannis.

Of course the claimants to the throne are doing so based on Cersei's children not being Robert's, so none of it really matters.

Random thought: in the show, how did Jon manage to build a huge funeral pyre for Ygritte all by himself? I seriously doubt that his brothers would have helped him do all of that for one wildling girl.

...I thought that it was a black guy like Aero Hotah or someone random

I kind of think that is a fuck up tbh. Aero is a totally insignificant character (unless they expand his role) and so are Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Salladhor Saan. Like, you want to add some diversity to the cast, but those are the characters you choose to do it with? I mean...

Book Jorah is definitely a creep. When he first appears in Dance he has sex with a very young slave girls that kind of looks like Dany, I think. In other words,

I was thinking of show Jorah.

Book Jorah is probably why the word 'creep' came to my mind in the first place though.

Stannis would be after Tommen technically, but his succession is probably disqualified due to him rebelling against the throne. And no way would the Lannisters/Tyrells say "well I guess it's Stannis' turn" if Tommen and Myrcella were to bite it. Not even the smallfolk would rally behind Stannis at that point. Stannis' only chance to take the throne is by force.

Okay so if Tommen and Myrcella both die who inherits the throne?

Stannis. Though the Tyrells would probably just put one of their own on the throne. They have all the power right now and they control the throne anyways. Of course they have no actual claim but that doesn't really matter anymore.

I wonder if they're going to do the face changing stuff with Arya. On one hand there's no way that doesn't become plot significant in the future, but on the other hand they can't just swap out the actor for long periods of time.
 
Tommen and Myrcella dying would lead to a king by conquest situation. It would likely lead to a Tyrell king or queen, given that they have the largest army and already are in the capital. A Lannister claimant could rise but I doubt it would work.

Ultimately I think Tommen and Myrcella will die during or after Aegon's ascension. If Tommen and Myrcella die before Aegon takes the throne the Tyrell scenario makes a lot of sense. Maergery becomes defacto queen and offers to marry Aegon, who would more than likely reject her.

It would lead to a splintered realm without an actual claimant with rights to throne. Faegon would qualify, though even then I'd be skeptical of his ability to enforce his authority on most of the 7 Kingdoms.

How likely would it be that the small council or someone would legitimize one of Robert's bastards? The only one I'm pretty sure they know of is Edric, right?
Correct, and Davos is the only man in Westeros who knows he's in Lys.
Aegon arrived just in time for that not to be necessary anyway. Mace won't risk besieging Storm's End again, and it's much easier for both sides if he just marries Margaery to Aegon.
