Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 73

Yeah possibly true, they could be setting him up to be a big villain for the final act since it seems like Ramsay is unlikely to survive this season, however I would have thought after him they would be more focused on the White Walkers being the biggest threat, so who knows.

If it does happen, I wouldnt be surprised if it was a book-only storyline

 

They cannot end the show without doing something with the Wight Walkers. You can't leave a huge threat like that untouched.

 

What is everyone's favorite scene/sequence from the show?

Mine has to be when Arya is helped by Jaqen in escaping that town, I'm blanking on the name. His entire character before The House of Black and White was just awesome and we haven't seen anything like that since.

 

Well yeah obviously, but the question was is there enough time to establish Euron as a big enough threat to incorporate the E. Apocalypse theory when, I imagine, much of the last two seasons will concern the white walkers and (possibly) Dany's invasion

 

*White Walkers, not wight walkers. they make wights, but aren't themselves wights.

isn't part of the theory also that Euron is the one to bring down the wall and unleash the White Walkers on everybody?

 

The guy who basically invented the theory even acknowledged there's next to no way the show has the effects budget to do all of it, plus the show hasn't set up key pieces of info that are in place in the books. If it happens it will be books only for he most part.

 

So much to cover in potentially 18 episodes (4 this season and 7 for next 2 seasons). Kind of sad to think that's all of the episodes we have left assuming all the series ending stuff is true.

 

Where is Gendry?

 

I've just accepted that Gendry was no more than a pawn. It might be nice to hear his name come up again, but it won't bother me if we never see him again.

 

He was going to chill with the Brotherhood Without Banners when Davos sent him off. Now that they're being brought back up, there is a good chance we'll see them and Gendry will probably be there.

 

Nope.

 

Who would be in line? I have no clue.

 

Hardhome.

 

Ah yes, besides the Battle of Blackwater, this is easily the biggest thing to happen on the show. I'm hoping the Battle of The Bastards will hold up.

 

I love the Battle of the Blackwater, but there was something about that final shot of Hardhome that just... it'll be with me any time I think of this show.

 

I'm pretty sure that's correct. Jaime, now released from his service as Kingsguard, is next in line to inherent the Iron Throne.

Here's some excerpts to help explain:

"[...] the most important death is the one that barely got any attention: the poisoning of Princess Myrcella Baratheon, sister to King Tommen and official heir to the Iron Throne. She was the last Baratheon in Westeros — legally speaking, at least — and her absence has the potential to create even more of a power vacuum in Tommen's already ineffectual reign. If Tommen were to die without producing any offspring, there'd be no official heir apparent — a fact that doesn't seem to have occurred yet to his mother Cersei or biological father Jaime. (Note that this is not the case in the Song of Ice and Fire books on which the show is based. George R.R. Martin has kept Myrcella and Stannis alive thus far; he also didn't have Stannis's daughter and heir, Shireen Baratheon, burned at the stake).
That is, if he hadn't ended up looking down the business end of Tyrion's crossbow while sitting on the commode.

That being the case, however, his title of heir to the throne of Westeros passes to his firstborn son ...

So who is next in line to the Iron Throne of Westeros on the show, presuming Tommen's death leads to a peaceful and legal transfer of power?

Even in real life, royal lines of succession can be hard to grasp. First of all, it isn't simply about who is descended from whom. There are several hundred royals in Europe who have more right to sit on the throne of England than Queen Elizabeth II, for example, but they are barred by dint of being descended from the Stuarts, a line of ousted Catholic English kings.
Similarly, if the Baratheons died out, legally and politically speaking, you couldn't simply hand the Iron Throne back to Daenerys, daughter of the Targaryen king that King Robert Baratheon ousted. Once a new dynasty seizes a throne, there's no going back except by force.

So to find out who would replace Tommen, we have to go through a convoluted Baratheon family tree, find out who married whom, and end up in another House altogether.

King Robert acquired the throne by force. He had three kids, officially and legally at least, with Queen Cersei. Joffrey and Myrcella are dead, leaving only Tommen. Were Tommen to die, theThrone would then pass to Stannis Baratheon, if he weren't pushing up daisies near Winterfell, then his faithful daughter Shireen Baratheon, if she weren't in cinders, then his younger brother Renly Baratheon, if he weren't in an advanced state of decomposition post-shadow baby.

That exhausts this generation of Baratheons. And according to this unbelievably extensive Baratheon family tree,you have to go all the way back to Robert's great-great-great-great-grandfather to find anyone in his family who sired another line that survived.

A hundred and fifty years before Robert was even born, an aristocrat called Corwen Baratheon married a woman named Leyne and had six kids. One of them, Arion, was Robert's great-great-great grandfather. The next one down to have surviving kids was Elyanna, who married a Lord named Mathin. Lord Mathin Lannister. Mathin fathered Jason, who fathered Demon, who fathered Gerold, who fathered Tytos Lannister. And who was Tytos' firstborn son? Tywin Lannister. That is, if he hadn't ended up looking down the business end of Tyrion's crossbow while sitting on the commode. That being the case, however, his title of heir to the throne of Westeros passes to his firstborn son Jaime Lannister.

There's a problem here, however — Jaime is Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. That's a lifetime post, one you don't simply leave, even if it is to become King.

So if Jamie is ineligible for the post, what about Tywin's second-born son? Tyrion Lannister. But, you may remember that small matter of Tyrion being convicted and sentenced to death for regicide. He's officially a traitor who lost his trial by combat. So next in line would be Cersei Lannister. Yeah, you read that right. Tommen's rightful heir to the Iron Throne, the next ruler of the Seven Kingdoms if he doesn't get busy with Margaery, is his own mother — via the most convoluted route of succession imaginable. "

Except now that Jaime is no longer Kingsguard, he gets his place back in line as heir.

 

I heard this on the SpoiLORE podcast from baldmove.com today!

 

Well that's complicated. Though I get the feeling no one is going to give a shit about that throne come season's end.

 

The Hound's "eat every chicken" bar fight scene
Bronn's fight during Tyrion's TOC at the Vale
The Hound's fight with the Lord of Light follower

 

once it gets this complicated a council would step in to determine an heir, as they have done in the past, assuming it doesn't just stick with margaery tyrell.

Great Council

He looks like he's starring in a remake of The Crow.
