Cersei is still the dumbest player of the game. How long does she have to reign now? She murdered the only other family that once supported her family and has no blood claim to the throne of her own. Her fall will be the easiest conquest in the history of conquests.
Is there a single major family that doesn't want her dead? As the dragons come for her? Her greatest failure has been interpreting the prophecy to mean Margery would replace her. Wait until Danny comes with fire and blood. It'll be hilarious.

Overall a great episode, although the writers created another plot hole with the Riverlands. I thought Edmund had cut a deal that would enable him to remain free. Why did Frey say he was in a cell?

She had to survive the trial, so the High Sparrow needed to burn. It would have made sense to keep Margaery alive somehow, but Margaery had pissed her off and she thought Tommen could be turned to someone else. Not sure why Pycelle had to go, other than pretty much everyone hated him.
I am not clear what the remaining plot even is at this point. Tyrell's and Martell's aren't even in the game any more. The Iron Islands are split, and the Riverlands are leaderless after Arya's killing spree. The Starks are hanging out with about a dozen of their closest friends in an empty castle in the middle of nowhere. Dany already has two of the biggest and least bloodied houses as allies.
The Mountain will get torched by a dragon, and the battle for Kings Landing will be pretty much over. Littlefinger will cause some additional mischief, but he is not long for the world.
The worst part is that my favorite player, Margaery, got torched, while the three biggest dipspits in the game, Sansa, Jon Snow, and Dany, are winning and poised to be allies. Ugh.
I am rooting for the Night King.
RE: Cersei's Prophecy -
It was foretold that Cersei will be queen until “there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.” It’s pretty easy to tell who that’s referring to. Daenerys Targaryen is coming with hundreds of ships, thousands of men, and three dragons to kick Cersei right off that throne she just claimed.
But the last part of the prophecy is the most intriguing. It is the part that tells of Cersei’s final demise: “When your tears have drowned you, the Valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.”
The word “Valonqar” means “little brother” in Valyrian. At first glance, “little brother” could refer to Tyrion, who certainly fits the phrase. Tyrion is on a boat with Daenerys, ready to aid the Queen of Dragons in dethroning his sweet sister.
But what if the prophecy is foretelling that Jaime will be the one to kill her? Jaime and Cersei are twins, but Cersei came out of the womb first, making Jaime her “little brother” in the strictest sense. Jaime killed Aerys to stop him from using wildfire to kill the people of King’s Landing, and that is exactly what Cersei did when she blew up the Great Sept.
It was her actions that led to Tommen’s suicide, and with all of their children gone, Jaime may realize that Cersei is no longer the sister he loved. She has turned into the Mad Queen, and he may be forced to kill another Iron Throne occupant. It would be a fitting end to the tale of power-hungry treachery and karmic retribution that has defined the Lannisters.

The Tyrell's and Martell's are with Dany. Some of the ships in that last scene had their house sigils on them. I'm curious to know who Dany would marry to form an alliance. Can't be Jon since that would be her presumed nephew (incest is a Lannister thing). Possibly Euron to avoid that fight?

Incest was first and foremost a Targaryan thing. It was well known that they married family members to keep the bloodlines strong.The Tyrell's and Martell's are with Dany.

Jaime and Cersei talk about it in Season 4 or 5.
So back to my original point about R+L=J...All this misery could have been prevented if Lyanna had just come clean that Robert Baratheon was never leaving the FriendZone.
My wife's reaction to the Tower of Joy was cattier---"I thought Lyanna was supposed to be pretty."
