I think Margery technically is the Queen, since she and Joffrey were married (for a few minutes) before he died. I mean, Cersei won't see it that way, but legally speaking, Margery is Queen and Cersei is Queen Regent Emeritus.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Margaery
is EVERYTHING. Man, I want her to rule the world. She is really deft. The women in that family are very capable.

not only that, Tyrion gains nothing with Joffrey dead. His situation, even if he isn't suspected of murder, is worse.

This is really the key to anyone with a brain - Tyrion is not a Pointlessly Stupid Crimes Of Passion kind of guy. (He's more of a Pointlessly Stupid Falling In Love With Prostitutes kind of guy.)
Being insulted by his nephew in public doesn't even come close to the worst abuse he's put up with from his family, and he hasn't murdered any of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
[wrong thread indeed]

Because books.
Wrong thread, ita?

Exactly. I'm just assuming the Lannisters won't let that stay.

According to the producers in the EW interview, they really did look into having riding pigs in the episode, but weren't allowed.

I haven't read the books, so I don't know how things work in this world, but is she queen or queen consort?

Theo,
I am actually thankful for that.

Margaery's marriage to Renly was annulled because it was unconsummated (to noone's surprise) so there'd be no doubt in anyone's mind that this marriage was annullable as well. Plus, Tywin has a bigger army.
I suppose, logically, Tommen inherits the crown, and Cersei continues to be Queen Regent, with Tywin (and his large army, did I mention that?) as Hand.
