There might be other Baratheons, but if there are, they have not been introduced. The entire male line of succession ended with Stannis/Shireen, leaving the false-Baratheon Tommen left. So if Tommon dies we can only hope Gendry rows into Kings Landing harbor just in time to be legitimized. | ||

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). Feudalism biggest problem always was the transfer of power when a ruler died. Since Game of Thrones is loosely based on the war of the roses, which is cited as one of the causes of the decline of feudalism and rise of the merchant class. You see this in Game of Thrones through the Iron Bank. But like the real world, in Game of Thrones the only way to remove a crazed ruler is through warfare, because there is no legal system to remove a mad king. And even if it happens, there is always this lack of a mandate. | ||

Maybe Melisandre can no longer glamour? Maybe she died? Maybe Jon has gone insane? Maybe Olly spontaneously combust? Maybe Davos lost more fingerbits? Presumably the next episode will tell. | ||

I'm having difficulty grasping Davos characterization in the show. It's been pretty well established that he despises Melissandre, what with seeing her birth shadow demons and being responsible for Shireen being burned alive. And now he is suddenly all compasionate towards Melissandre, giving her pep talks and asking for help. Even suggesting ressurection, when there's nothing to hint such things are even possible if he isn't aware of Red Priest doing his work on Berric. I kinda feel they completely butchered his character in last 2 episodes. | ||
