Re: A Song Of Ice and Fire (Spoilers for all Published Books
i don't disagree, but clearly, the show is no longer interested in slow burns, so this would be one way to redeem jaime with only so many episodes and bigger things to tackle left.cutuphalfdead wrote:Jaime's transformation works better as a slow, gradual process though.

Seems like with the north and south in open revolt and some number of dead Lannisters and Tyrells, everyone will just go back to their cities and make their own kingdoms.spike wrote:no successor. in stable times, the heads of the great houses would get together and sort it out, but things are currently chaotic, so it'd probably be the lannisters (cersei) and tyrells (margaery) butting heads for the throne.BurtReynolds wrote:If Tommen dies who next in line? Or does everyone give up on the idea of a king and break up in time for the dragons to come?
Everyone will shake hands and part amicably. The End.

Maybe Cerci's plan is ruined and in a fit of classic cersi rage she tells Tommen that he's a product of incest and this fact drives the fragile kid to kill himself since he's all one with god now.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
