Yes.

Re: time/travel - I think it's best to assume that just because scenes are shown in the same episode, doesn't mean they are taking place at the same time. Just accept that all of these things HAVE happened at some point in time. There's too much going on in this show for them to try to keep things linear in terms of days or even weeks. Some stuff lines up time-wise, but it's best to just accept that it all happened. Still furious about the face swapping though. :omar:

^^ That's all fine if the show was/will be written in a way that actually reflect the difference in time periods

So if Danny shows up in Westeros next season after a significant amount of shit has happened since the explosion, that's smart and makes a ton of sense.

But if we see Jaime and Cercei still sorting out the aftermath and then a raven comes with 'yo you'll never guess who just pulled up down South'.... that's pretty retarded

this show has not been very strong on making this kind of sense recently, but we'll see

That is correct. Thought it was weird she called him "older brother", but I guess the show is so far off the books I shouldn't be.

Finale was fun and all but felt like they are blowing their load way too early.
The Starks have the North.
Dany has a massive fucking army, and now just got the Tyrells and the Martells to join her side just for the fuck of it?
And with the Boltons dead and Arya killing off all the Freys, who do the Lannisters even have left on their side?
The whole show has been building to a massive fight for the throne but is there anyone left to actually have one? The Lannisters should be beaten handedly at this point.
I doubt the showrunners have the balls or the finesse to actually pit the Starks against Daenerys.

The show hasn't been building to a battle for the throne, it's been building to fighting the walkers with dragons, hence the Song of Fire And Ice. The futility of squabbling over titles and lines of succession and personal grievances is the underlying irony of all this. In the bigger picture, it was mostly all for nothing. Cercei's title is a great demonstration of this. It's annoying the show didn't devote more time to the fallout of the explosion and her powergrab, but we can just assume she grabbed it on the strength of her name/position, her spies and her giantass zombie. But it's not really clear how far her power actually extends in practical terms (this is where the lack of follow-through is really hurting the narrative). Even if we take it at face value that she's a queen now, she's got nothing. Lannisters are broke, and so is the crown. They likely have only a small army left, considering they've been heavily relying on Tyrell's numbers. No significant allies north or south. She's got the title but basically nothing else. She might not even be able to really leave the city, or even the Red Keep, since it's fair to guess at least a few people might be upset about her blowing up half the town and a bunch of nobles. And even if there's some clever twist that fortifies their position, a new ally or something (maybe Euron?), the Lannisters are pretty much fucked. In the scope of the story, Cercei's last act is to be a miniboss for Danny to fight before she realizes the real battle is up north (or on her way North or whatever).

Yah, as much as I wanna believe Cersei has some sort of plan, I think she's so caught up in just beating her opponents that she doesn't really care about anything else. I mean even if she gets killed next episode and see's it coming, it would still make sense for her character. Everything in her prophecy has come true aside from her getting choked out, so she knows death is coming anyways. She was about to get sentenced to death and/or humiliated again too, so might as well go out sittin on that throne, if even for a little bit.

Looking forward to a potential big sea battle next season though if brother Greyjoy runs into Danny on her way over, or maybe a sea dragon/creature or some shit would be dope too.

it's not really too early considering they said there planning on only like 13-15 more episodes total.

Cersei blew up the last of the Tyrell's and the sand snakes still mad about Oberyn. Everyone out for blood now.

oh man have you seen the Eldritch Apocalypse theory? it's my new favorite batshit prediction

this is built a lot of very circumstantial details but the main idea is that the Drowned God is real and is some sort of giant kraken or cthulu-ish thing and Euron is either gonna summon him by accident or on purpose and he's gonna wreak shit all over south westeros and become the 3rd major thread along with dragons and white walkers

not a chance in hell of all that happening but I love the idea of trying to build some realpolitik strategies around the presence of a giant sea monster

I dunno man, maybe not that devastating, but I feel having D land at Westeros with a fully charged army plus Tyrell's and Martell's on board, that would just make for too big of a wipe out. Those legs definitely need to get taken out a little before she gets there. That being said, bring on the fucking seaman! :pause:

Haven't seen anyone make this joke so I will: lines of succession, and basically the old way of doing things, went out the window with Tommen.

This is a transitory time.

Edit: love the Eldricht Apocalypse theory. Way more likely to happen in the books, but would love to see/read it.

I believe there's actually 2 more seasons, but both will be shortened for a total of approximately 15 remaining episodes
