Do you folks have a youtube channel you like the best for GoT episode reviews? I just found New Rockstars and I'm really impressed with them. They point out camera angles, symbolism, framing shots, book insight and other minutia that I missed. It helps me appreciate how deep the story is.
I like Elio Garcia and GoT Academy. Preston Jacobs I ok.
Itamal from GoT Academy gives a lot of historical insight into the story.

Here's an interesting question at this point: If Tommen kicks the bucket, who is the Baratheon heir to the throne? Robert's highborn "children" would all be dead, as are his brothers and their offspring. At this point it seems like either some distant cousin would be next or just all out war for the crown. Probably makes Dany's (or Jon's) claim go much easier. Although it wouldn't surprise me if Sir Pounce was somehow Tommens heir.
Gendry's still out there rowing somewhere but I'm not sure many people know who his father was and he's a bastard anyway.
I usually go with Alt Shift X, he does a pretty good job but can be slow in getting them out after the episode.
Yeah. I keep waiting for something to happen with this storyline. Maybe it's written out? Maybe he got swallowed by a shark somewhere? Seems like a loose end...
Yep. He does take a while to get the video out though because his videos are super detailed with photos, family trees, previous quotes (book and tv), etc.
It will be interesting to see, there aren't many ways they can go with choosing the king. I think, if Tommen does so happen to die this episode and somehow the High Sparrow doesn't, he will try and force the Faith onto everybody and try and take power. I also think that Margery will try and keep her position, but the only way is if she is pregnant (Thanks to the High Sparrow somewhat telling her she had to have a child this could be a high possibility)

Tommen IS going to die. Maybe not this episode, but soon. And Cersei can't die until he does so lets get these dominoes falling. Please. As for the inheritance:
1) Gendry/ Edric Storm inherits with the backing of the Storm Lands. We don't really have a named character championing the Baratheon line since Davos is clearly under the Stark banner for now. Although maybe Jon refuses his call for justice in regards to Melisandre and he heads south to Storm's End. Low Probability.
2) The Lannisters argue that Tommen's nearest male relative should inherit and Kevan becomes King. This would be relatively easy to do as he is the overall Lannister commander and Hand of the King. The #2 guy has a good shot. If the High Sparrow endorses him (Assuming he is alive) it would be a shoe in. Moderate odds.
3) The Tyrells argue that Margery is Queen and should continue to rule. I don't think this is standard practice in Westeros. I can't think of another time this happened in the past but with the situation as it is, and if the Lannisters are dead (Cersei -clearly Margery's plan- Tommen, maybe Kevan?) or returned to Casterly Rock, continuity is better than all out civil war.
4) Tommen and Cersei die and Dany lands in Dorne, proclaiming herself Queen. The Tyrells do what they normally do and try to marry Margary to Dany but then realize that won't work and just support Dany in order to avoid war with Dorne.
5) Littelfinger marries Sansa, becomes Warden of the North and names himself King.

If she is pregnant, that would definitely happen. Although, her downfall wouldn't be unprecedented. It isn't like GoT has had a problem killing pregnant Queens.
Yeah clearly he has no desire for power or armies or titles or high born marriages or huge castles.
yeah, he definitely hasn't been consistently acquiring these things over the entire series, or anything...
