True, but I wasn't trying to sell it. First, that's something I'd seen discussed elsewhere (and perhaps here) and, considering there was discussion about how Howland and Ned were both there and how perhaps Jon and Meera were perhaps secretly siblings, my thought was "hey, wouldn't it be cool if...?" I think the biggest difference was I was always "R + L = J" first.

Yeah, I didn't care for the minor theory online of R + L = J & M. People went with it due to Meera having a similar age to Jon and same curly dark hair. There were no other clues/forshadowing to support that theory. It was also too similar to Star Wars.

While, seeing Jaime's face and how he found out about Tommen, I think it's highly likely that he would strangle Cersei - he is sort of missing a hand.

TOTALLY wild theory - I'm wondering if Arya would either get Tommen's face or kill Jaime to take his, then strangle Cersei? She's had Cersei near the top of her list for forever, and she's finally doing something about it.

Jaime is gong to be the one to stick the sword in Cersei. Almost sure of that. The Snow revelation was a non revelation at this point. The theory had way to much weight. Littlefinger is going to try to get Sansa to doubt Jons loyalty. Standard. And Daenerys is now single. Targaryen's always wedded other Targaryens and there is one in Winterfell waiting for another woman to come flying in. I think the show gets more predictable simply because the board is almost empty of the pieces. Arya's story seems the only wildcard.

He's already been sticking his sword in her for years...

That's the main thing I wondered about. Arya's look after killing Frey looked rather sadistic (even considering the pies) rather than duty/sense of accomplishment. I fear they're leading her down a dark path where she couldn't really integrate with her family. Since they're all in the same area and crossed paths before, I'm guessing there will be a reunion of Brienne, The Hound + BWB, and Arya. Possibly Mel if she heads that far south.

That'd be really cool to see all of the starks meet up next season. Arya is back from Braavos moving north, Bran is back from the tree moving south, Jon and Sansa rule Winterfell again now.

I also think the only place Mel can go is the the BWB, with them following the red-god and all.

Pretty sweet episode, but this bugged me. How was Varys (bald guy) in two places so quickly?

Realistic travel seems to have become a thing of the past this season. :) Arya, also.

Same could be said with Jamie, making it from the Twins to King's Landing while it's still simmering.

Varys warp-speed traveling was the only one that really "upset" me. It's not uncommon for the show to say "character X is in this location now" but then that character spends the rest of the episode in that new setting. Seeing Varys just APPEAR in Dorne and then end the episode riding on the ship with Dany just didn't make sense. Aren't they going to sail right past Dorne anyways?

People need to get over the "timeline". It has been pretty prevalent over the last season and a half or so. Everything is not happening chronologically anymore, if you notice that Varys was there in SunSpear at the same time Olenna was there and knowledgeable of The Sept coming down (just happened earlier in the show and Highgarden to Sunspear is not an easy trip), Arya was in the riverlands when she was last in Braavos 2 episodes ago, Varys was back in Meereen after being in Sunspear but if you notice in the last shot, I believe there are some Dornish sails on some of the ships, so he clearly came back with them telling Dany that the alliance was successful and the Martells had offered their full support (and ships as well). Things happening don't need to be in a perfect timeline, there are too many things to happen going forward for them to dilly-dally around and keep everything in a perfect timeline .

yeah, the events in each location (Westeros, Essos, the North, etc) must be taking place on wildly different timelines. Every time that happens, and a character moves very quickly, I just remind myself it's a television show. .

You are totally right and I missed this. I even remember staring at that and thinking "whose flags are those with the sun?" Now it makes sense.

Littlefinger knows the truth about Jon's heritage right? I swear he hinted at it a few seasons back. Methinks he is going to throw a wrench into the reign of the King of the North.

I think he had his speculations. A lot of people didn't believe that Jon was Ned's bastard because of it being so against Ned's character, so I can definitely see Littlefinger piecing it together.

There were also Tyrell sails in the armada:

Awesome, didnt see that! Damn, they're a force to be reckoned with huh?!?

right, which makes me wonder what Cersei has up her sleeve because her army would be crushed just by Dany's army, let alone with the Martell and Tyrell army's.

My guess is Euron aligns with Cersei, which at least gives her some naval power (1,000 ships)

I still don't know where she's going to get the extra men though, certainly not from the north and not from the Vale either.

So Dany is Jon's aunt, correct? I get so confused by the Targaryians, all their names sound the same.
Yes, but the legitimacy is still in questions. There isn't proof if they did or didn't get secretly married before the baby was born. But yes Rhaegar and Dany were brother and sister, so Jon would be Dany's nephew.
