Don't act dumb.
Most shows and movies don't get leaked, literally the only way for things to get leaked are someone gets their hands on a copy, which can be someone on their team or via press release.
Considering that this leak likely cost HBO about 5 million viewers for the four episodes, you can expect this to not happen to GoT again. I'd give a ballpark estimate of 90-95% that there wont be another episode leak in GoT for the remainder of the series.

Remember how Jaime once used a sneaky dagger move to kill Ned's guard that one time, to show him being ruthless and (literally) underhanded? Even at the time, when Jaime's character was a little less multidimensional and more painted as just being a bad guy - I did not interpret it this way. I took it more as "holy shit, this guy is dangerous and unpredictable". Your analysis was awesome though.
Yeah, that's a decent read. Also, thanks!

I just remembered the awkward moment when Bronn was digging into why Jaime was there to rescue his 'niece'. Ahh incest the awkward gift that just keeps giving.

I understand Jaime is ineligible because he's a kingsguard, Cersei as woman will be overgone in favor of men (?), and while this might make Tommen the heir, I suspect he will rule as a king and name a "careholder" which should be the next person in the line, i.e. Lancels father and then Lancel himself.
Not sure we know all the Lannisters (Robert said there were lots of them). If we know all, in a male line Jaime, then Tyrion, then Tywin's brother, then Lancel.
Lancel probably swore all his earthly belongings off when he joined the latest sect though and Jaime already said he refused because he is in the kingsguard. Go Tyrion ! (well ... once the little matter of his killing Tywin and Joffrey gets cleared out, of course)
If Tywin's brother dies, not sure what happens. Cersei probably takes control through Tommen ?

There are probably more Lannisters in Casterly Rock that aren't mentioned yet?

Still, unless they are unknown sons of Tywin (unlikely) the above is pretty much correct. Excluding the eventual marriage of Myrcella, it's Tommen over Kevan over (???), since none of the other Lanisters introduced so far are eligible to inherit.

I don't think Tommen gets it, he is officially a Baratheon, not Lannister.

Isn't the line of Tywin effectively dead at this point? Cersie's kids are officially Baratheon's. Jamie is a Kingsguard Tyrion i would assume is disowned after killing his dad.

So it's Kevan right now and unless there are other sons of his we don't know about after him it looks grim for the Lannister line of succession.

Tyrion was stripped of his titles when he was convinced, so he has no rights anymore on the inheritance

what if tyrion ends up with danny (like on her side not withwith her) and then once shes ruler of everything can she give back the inheritance to tyrion? or does it not work like that, Stannis offered jon snow warden of the north and the stark name.

A King can do anything they want if they can enforce it. If Dany attacks Westeros and wins she can do whatever she wants including giving Lannister lands to Tyrion or to a random peasant or to her pet monkey(if she gets one in the meantime :D).

But giving lands and titles requires a bit of politics and diplomacy, but nothing impossible for someone conquering a continent on dragon's back ^^

Yeah, I mean, I'm still a little confused by the way royal families work in this universe. Any real family can keep backing up generations to find more relatives, even if they have a different family name. Sometimes, as when the British had disqualified Catholic succession, you can jump to somebody who was 50-something on the list. But, barring bad bookkeeping, you should always be able to find someone.

I'm sure they'd be able to find someone but when you go that deep on the succession list the claims get weaker and weaker and there are more and more people in a similar position as you. Even in the most stable systems this causes conflict and Westeros is anything but stable. Letting succession fall that far down the line is a surefire way to get another war in this universe.

Fair enough, but it's just odd to me that everyone's treating Sansa like she's the "last Stark" when surely there are dozens of them running around somewhere.
