[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jon seems quite dark to be half Targaryen--but I'll have to watch finale again, of course, and focus on the Lianna scene...[/quote]

NP here.  Lyanna had dark hair.  So Jon gets his dark hair from her.  I think that is why they had that scene -- to show that he takes after his mother but is still Targaryen.

I agree with the PP that Sansa is worried FOR Jon.  She doesn't trust Little Finger.  If she had any interest in the Iron Throne, she wouldn't have rebuffed his offer.  And I don't think she will ever forgive him for the entire Ramsey thing.  She knows LF serves himself and that he only cares about her in so far as she is useful to him.

As for Tommen, I do think that he loved Margery.   I don't think his love was misplaced.  Margery is shrewd, but she is not nasty in the way that Cercei is.  She may not have loved Tommen like he thought she did, but she was the actually the right mixture of shrewd and reasonable that a queen should be.  I think he committed suicide out of a combination of sadness that she was killed and a horrible realization that his mother is horrible -- willing and capable of doing unthinkable things.   I don't think he wanted to be that kind of king, but he realized that he had no real power, not even in his home, to be the kind of king he wanted to be -- the kind of king Margery was trying to make him.  His action was a combination of grief and escape.

I actually think it's telling that Cercei didn't seem that upset that he died.  Compare how upset she was over Geoffrey's death compared to Tommen's death.  I think that she liked that Geoffrey was ruthless, even if his sheer level of ruthlessness even surpassed her own.  I think she was actually kind of disgusted by Tommen's compassion and preference for nonviolence.  And I think she was even perhaps relieved that he was gone, because she could see he was not going to be the kind of king she thought he should be.

[b]As for Jaimie, I think he is coming to see that Cercei is crazy.  Jaimie can be ruthless as well (let's not forget what happened to Bran), but Jaimie's character has grown.  I think he is also smarter than Cercei and knows that a ruler who is hated and viewed as crazy won't last long.  After all, Jaimie is the one who killed the mad king.  I think that scene where he looks at Cercei on the thrown is him starting to realize that Cercei is slightly (if not full on) mad.  I think he also might realize that she sent him away for a reason.  It will be interesting to see how they interact.[/b]

I wonder how things will develop between Dany and Jon.  Even if it comes to light that Jon is Targaryen, I can't imagine she will readily believe it without seeing him survive fire or some such thing.  I don't think Jon is interested in the Iron Throne.  Perhaps they will negotiate something.

But the real question in my mind is, what happened to Ghost?  I don't recall Ghost getting killed in any of the episodes.  Perhaps I missed something?

And will Nymeria come back now that Arya has returned?  [/quote]

Jamie is going to end up killing Cersei. He doesn't want to. He loves her. He won't let her destroy King's Landing, though.  He killed one king for trying to burn it down. He will kill her for the same thing. [/quote]
