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?

I think Margery technically is the Queen, since she and Joffrey were married (for a few minutes) before he died.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think Margery technically is the Queen, since she and Joffrey were married (for a few minutes) before he died.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

Oh, Tommen! I forgot about him.

I saw him at the table during the reception, and I can't tell if the original kid grew up a lot or if they've recast him. (Tommen in the book is 8 years old, Tommen in the show looks closer to 12.)

Speaking of long-offscreen Lannister babies, any bets on whether we see Myrcella ever again? She's been mentioned once in every ep this season, but I still have my doubts about whether we'll actually see Dorne or just hear stories.
