Gendry aka the rightful heir, will comeback.

Lancel, Jaime, etc are all Lannister so they are out anyway.

With Stannis, his wife, and Shireen dead it looks like Tommen really is the last one left in the official Baratheon line of succession.
And with Margaery in church prison it'll be difficult to produce an heir any time soon.

It's not like succession means much at this point. If Tommen dies just make Jaime king, and brutally repress the sparrow-led population.

Yeah, didn't Robert just take the throne by force? Or did he have a claim?

Pretty sure anyone could be king if they have an army.

Robert took the throne by force with the help of Eddard and Jon Arryn. Any of the three had a claim to the throne, but [...]

I'm aware that the one with the most power will just take the throne by force. The question was who has the strongest legal claim with the most legitimacy? I can't imagine that according to the law, the official succession rule in case of no obvious heir is civil war.

Since the whole Baratheon / Lannister clans has no "legal" claims,
There is your answer:

Suddenly it was a great episode overall!

I already thought that Balon was dead, seems like Stannis told that to Davos long before? When Melisandre used her blood spell to cut our Joff/Rob/Balon. So it was a flashback, the reason of Balon's death was his younger bro Euron, or it was Melisandre?

+ Show Spoiler +
The usurper Robb Stark, the usurper Balon Greyjoy, the usurper Joffrey Baratheon
[image loading]


Ramsay is now officially #1 hated person in whole TV series, Joff moves to #2. Everything he has done to lady Wolda Frey was horrible, she seems like was good person. And even tho Roose was a bit "evil traitor", he was smart ass and pretty intresting to follow, never made clueless moves.

Now I really feel sorry for Cersei, Jaime and Tommen, their family suffer a lot and feels like they are more victims, hope for some blood vengeance on weird fanatics and lord sparrow.

With Jon playing full Jesus and having such allies as Melisandre / Davos / Tormund with wildings and giant, with his direwolf, possibly Sansa / Brienne / Pod joins him - makes their side very OP by any possible means.

And yea, flashback was cool! Finally something interesting about Bran!

Can't wait for episode 3!


Blizz should really nerf Jon ^^

Now, if Jon would be to marry Dani that would be some power couple... and just right in time before Winter is coming.
Some final war scenes, lots of explosions and CGI -> The end
May they live happily ever after

If Westeros was your average European kingdom from middle ages an election would be the most likely outcome. Whatever Lannister closest to Tommen would have an extremely weak claim even if the laws would allow that kind of succession.

Also I think it's a simplification to say that Robert took the throne by force. The rebellion's goal was to remove the mad king, not to put Robert on the throne. He was chosen to fill the vacuum, it's not like he subjugated Starks and his other allies. What I mean is that his coronation was more acceptable because the rebellion against Targaryens had a just cause (this is from some medieval philosopher but I can't remember which one).

You get it, the reason why Rob took a throne he had more claims after all

still hard to explain what exactly turns Snow back to life, suspecting Melisandre, Ghost and even Davos :/

What? How is it hard to explain.
Melisandre did Magic.

Everything else, because there is 0 evidence for anything else, is just pointless speculation for speculations sake.

Tommen is clearly going to get killed this season, and I don't see anyone else who would do the job, but maybe I am wrong. I think we will have a lot of Sparrow action. They might also fuck up the show entirely by having the sand snakes kill him. That would be bad..

That's my new head canon.

Plotlines all continue to plod on slowly, while the sand snakes traipse around westeros killing all the major characters one by one until they're the only ones left.

She never did this before, she saw only once and was surprised, and when those happened, it was a few moments, but we had Jon sleeping and "waiting" till everybody goes out (or almost everybody) . I belive she knew what she could do and what she could not. At least she seems like did her best but wasn't looking like it had success, Davos was the last man leaving those room, Ghost simply left there on a floor.

Dunno, maybe am looking for something that does not even exist and everything has more simplier explanation.

I was kind of thinking along those lines, but I think in the end it's just sub par execution by the film makers. I felt the resurrection was super forced, lacked any intensity, so I was thinking it was not really her that brought Jon back. But I worry it really is as simple as that, even though the show leaves enough ambiguity to wonder what really happened.

Yeah and in the last scene, the last Sand Snake says "after all this time, I've finally won the Game of Thrones!". Then she grins, put her sunglasses on and flies on her dragon towards the sunset

I get used to a thing that every action is connected somehow to others, there must be a reason, the same with necklace scene she took off at episode 1, hope there are interesting details to be revealed.

No need to traipsing. They can teleporting. The only real challenge will be littlefinger, because he can teleporting too. Or *plot twist* he was behind it all!

Surely there are still plenty of Baratheons left? Distant relatives, cousins etc
Won't they come before a bastard born like Gendry in the line of succession?
