Calling it now, Dany will marry Jaime. She told Daario she might have to marry for political alliances.
If the Maggy prophecy is true, a younger, more beautiful queen will take "everything you hold dear" from Cersei. Margaery kinda fulfilled the prophecy but I think Dany will seal it by seducing Jaime, who will kill Cersei. Just a wild guess.
Also they'd make a cute couple and this is a great way for him to protect her and forgive himself for breaking his vows to her father.
Cersei looked so awesome. I mean, a lot of folks were in black this episode, but Cersei looked dope as ****.
I also kind of like how she's Pokevolved into a full-on Disney-style evil queen ruling the land just in time for things to get serious and the dragon-princess daughter of the slain king to sweep in.
All the women were in black in fact. Cersei, Dany, Sansa, Ellaria, Olenna, Lady F'in Mormont, Missendei, Arya...girls are gearing up for war.
I'm still screaming over the fact that Varys was from Dorne, went to Meereen only to get on a ship back to Westeros all in one episode
Also, I find it interesting that both Lyanna Stark and Joanna Lannister died giving birth to their children, Jon and Tyrion. I believe that giving birth to a child with Dragon's Blood is too much for anyone without the Dragon's Blood in them, hence solidifying the theory that Tyrion and Jon are the other 2 dragons. This also makes sense as to why Targaryens practiced incest. Because only they could give birth to more Targaryens without dying.
The fact that he has the power of going back into the past and he didn't go back to when he was pushed out the window to see what exactly happened to him

I don't know, there was something deeply disturbing about this revenge, far more so than Sansa last episode. Feeding sons to him is a whole other level of cruelty and sadism, no matter what Walder has done. This feels like an appropriate and worrying escalation for Arya, each kill has gotten more twisted and more savage. Polliver got a quick stab to the neck. Meryn Trant was stabbed to pieces. And now this.
What if Arya kills Jamie, takes his face and uses it as her disguise to kill Cersei. It fulfills the prophecy through a loop hole because she still thinks Jamie is killing her
Interesting theory. It's a bit of a stretch, but I also wondered if valonqar could have been a reference to Arya since she got her training as "a boy" (her first encounters with jaqen). That being said, neither are likely since she missed her chance to kill Jaime (imo), and there are probably others on the list of people likely to kill Cersei who will make for a better story.

I thot I saw this scene when bran was getting his infodump in episode 5? It's no longer relevant enough for a whole scene about it, since everyone knows about the lannister twincest, even if Cersei hasn't been formally charged for it (well, might have been). Maybe when the book comes out bran will acknowledge that he's seen everything now, but I doubt his path will cross with Cersei's at this point.

Does the book say that you can be born with Dragon's Blood by chance? Otherwise, I don't see how Tyrion has connections to the dragons.
Women died all the time in medieval times during childbirth.
And it wasn't because they had kids with Targaryens.
Lyanna dying maybe cause she was in Dorne with lack of proper care. What about Joanna? She died at Casterly Rock. She was wife to the lord of a noble house, you'd think she'd have the best service. I'm just saying, dragon's blood might be a factor.

There are plenty examples of women giving birth to Targaryen's without being Targs themselves - the most recent example being Elia Martell, who was described as frail and weak to begin with.
Also Lyanna and Joanna probably had Targaryen blood. All the great houses intermixed throughout the centuries. Though I do personally believe it's possible that Dany, Jon, and Tyrion are all children of the Mad King through rape. (He raped and abused Dany's mother constantly)
The problem with "blow all your enemies up real good at once" as a plan, is that you almost never get all your enemies up all at once, and if you do you make a whole new bunch of enemies who are more aware of what you're capable of, and will fight you accordingly.
In the books at least, GRRM made it abundantly clear that, while The Red Wedding worked in the short run, it really screwed things up in the long run. Nobody ever trusted another's hospitality or promise of safe passage again, and those known to be responsible (House Bolton, House Frey, and House Lannister) found that their word was no longer considered worth anything and wouldn't treat with them except at dagger's point. Cersei, like her father, might have believed terror was an acceptable way to rule, but history has shown time and again that Reigns of Terror are not just notoriously bloody, but also notoriously short-lived.
Sooner or later enough people get fed up enough that somebody comes in and kills the leader - and while the reign following may be as autocratic as the one before, it's also centered on rebuilding and restoring confidence in the Government.

I'm pretty sure Tyrion is a half Targaryen as well. Let's take a look why.
a) Jon's and Tyrion's mothers both died when giving birth to them (as already posted beforehand)
b) both were sort of born around the same time (during Mad King's rule)
c) Targaryen's were known for having several women and raping women
d) Tyrion was described as "not-Lannister like" from the get go
e) in the books, Tyrion is decribed as ugly and having eyes of two different colors, one green and one black + his hair is lank and very pale, but when he lets his beard grow in it comes in as a mixture of blonde and black hairs => so basically, he's a mix
f) He has always been interested in dragons and all of that
g) his connection to the dragons when he set them free was unprecedented
h) It was said that Targaryen's often had cripples as kids due to their extraordinary bloodline -> Tyrion is in fact an imp
i) The symbol of the Targaryens is the 3-headed dragon. We got to learn in season 1 that Daeny refers to herself as "a dragon" when telling her brother once he died that he never was a "real" dragon -> therefore, one could interpret it as a play on the word dragon. The Targaryen's symbol is not just a reference to the 3 actual dragons, but to 3 Targaryens whose destiny it is to save Westeros and the World -> hence the whole idea of dragon blood is important. Daeny's brother did not have dragon blood, hence it makes sense that the other women who used to give birth to half-Targs lived after they gave birth to them (because they usually didn't have dragon blood). With Jon and Tyrion, however, they probably have real dragon blood in them, hence in this case, non-Targ mothers died when giving birth to them.
j) Tyrion's connection to Daeny -> she immediately trusted him, which is very unlikely for her

Oh yes! I just rewatched that scene and they show the ending of 1x01 where he falls out of the tower. I guess I just didn't realize that he probably also saw the events leading up to that moment too. And yeah that's true since everyone knows about it and it's been 6 seasons, so there's no need for Bran to be like "omg the Queen is sleeping with her brother!" I could see the book having something about it, but in the show it would just be wasting time.
ruling the land just in time for things to get serious and the dragon-princess daughter of the slain king to sweep in.
I feel like hes going to be very important, hes probably going to find out something important in the library and he also got the sword.
