According to the producers in the EW interview, they really did look into having riding pigs in the episode, but weren't allowed.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

"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?

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.

Because books.
Oh, Tommen! I forgot about him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

Can women inherit the throne?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Not unless every single male they are related to is dead, IIRC. This is not true for every House or subkingdom, particularly not Dorne.

Right, that's what I thought. Thanks, -t!
