Hey everybody!! I'm bored and my plans for the evening fell through so I started pondering the great unknown of season six. Kings Landing is by and far my favorite storyline on the show, so that's what I'm gonna talk about. I made some predictions, so I hope you like them. The first Kings Landing scene we will see is a small council meeting, with Kevan, Tommen, Pycelle, Qyburn, and Lady Olenna. Kevan will be trying to get Tommen into the fold and teach him how to rule. Tommen only seems interested in Margaery, who's still captive at the Sept. Qyburn will hear from a little bird that Jaime's on his way back, he'll get Cersei (whose probably crying in the bath or something) and tell her. She goes down to meet him, and freaks out when she realizes it's Myrcella in the casket. She orders Trystane be kept under watch. She and Jaime talk about everything, except she fails to mention that she admitted to sleeping with Lancel. Jaime tells Kevan what happened, and he'll tell Doran to kill Ellaria (which I'm sure he will gladly oblige). There's a funeral at the Sept of Baelor. While there, Cersei tells the High Sparrow she wants a trial by combat. Kevan tells Cersei that Ellaria'a dead. Jaime and Cersei start getting frisky, and Cersei tells Jaime mid-frisky to kill Trystane. He's taken aback and says that he had nothing to do with it. Cersei will be pissed and says that they have to get Doran back, but Jaime will be mad she tried to use sex to make him do something bad. He'll storm out, talk to Kevan, and learn about the Lancel thing. Margaery is appearing to become all devout and stuff. Loras remains stubborn. Tommen visits Marg and tells her that he will accept the High Sparrow's religion if it means freeing her. Jaime and Tommen bond, and Tommen tells Jaime what he plans to do. Margaery gets the High Sparrow to release her and drop the charges since she appears to be so religious now, as does Tommen. Mace Tyrell comes back and sends an army to the Sept, Jaime will ride up the steps. Marg and Tommen will come out and go home happy happy. Loras is given a formal trial and is found innocent thanks to Margaery's meddling, and high tails it back to Highgarden. Cersei runs into some Sparrows in the Red Keep, chooses violence, and things get messy until Tommen shows up and tells her that he invited them. They talk about Cersei's trial, which will be by seven combatants. Jaime doesn't want to be in town for Cersei's trial, so Kevan tells him to go to the Riverlands to deal with the Tullys. He goes ASAP. Cersei has her trial and wins. First thing she does is kill Kevan and Pycelle. She'll have it out with Olenna, and the conversation will end with the two all but declaring war on each other. In the meantime, Cersei has Ser Robert kill the High Sparrow and all his followers. Tommen will be angry at her for it. Olenna and Margaery will attempt to flee the city, but Cersei will intercept them. Ser Robert will kill Olenna and kidnap Margaery. With the Tyrells surrounding the city, Margaery captive to Cersei, and Tommen stuck in the middle, it will be a sticky situation indeed. The season will end on the outset of a second war. TL;DR- Cersei and Jaime break up. Kevan dies. Olenna dies. Loras runs away. High Sparrow dies. Marg vs Cersei by the end of the season. Thanks for humoring me

I think a lot of this likely.
One thing- will it be Cersei who kills Kevan and pycelle or will it be varys' little birds? I think the latter is more likely.
I do hope Cersei and Jaime break up. I think Jaime will refuse to fight for her, knowing he isn't 100% right because of his hand, she will reject him (sexually) and send him to the Riverlands. I think it would be more effective this way instead of Kevan sending him away.
I wonder if Jaime will send Trystane home or the Sand snakes will come to get him. I have a feeling he dies. But i think Jaime might think about setting him free, like he did Tyrion. I wonder if the consequences of setting tyrion free will affect his decision whether or not to release trystane without cersei's approval.

I think much of this speculation is very likely. I don't think Trystane gets to go home alive. I could see Jaime and Cersei falling out over whether or not to keep him alive and Cersei has him killed and sent to Dorne in a body bag...leading Doran to side with Dany. Considering that the conflict with Doran and Ellaria last year was over revenge/Doran biding his time...Doran's only son and only child (in the show) dying would have to prompt him to act fast (for him).
I think we will see her wrath after Myrcella and she'll have someone to enact her revenge upon (poor Trystane) where as Sansa was gone too soon for her to do anything and Tyrion was set free by Jaime before he met his planned fate. I don't think Jaime will save Trystane in time, which might lead to their falling out on the show.

This is what happens when I get very very bored lol. And yeah that's the one thing I kind of think is a coin toss, so I just picked Cersei because I had already been talking about her lol.

I just don't think D&D are as predictable as they seem so I don't bother anymore. like they love their tits and gore but I think they also really love their OTT twists and turns. I would have never expected them to have Jeyne Pooled Arya or have Ellaria be a bloodthirsty child murderer or kill off Stannis the way they did so I don't do detailed speculations anymore lol. i still think its more likely to be Varys because of the method of killing. Why would Cersei try to manipulate and use these kids when Robert Strong could take them out in a second?

Maybe Cersei kind of manipulates the Tyrells into clearing out most of the Faith for her, then comes in at the end and kills the big guys herself. I'm certain she'll make good on her promise to Septa Unella LOL.

mmm i don't see Cersei killing anyone herself- except maybe Tommen. She has never done any of the 'dirty work' herself. She will get robert strong to do her bidding.

I think Cersei will pretend to be on the Tyrells side throughout the season to weaken the faith a little bit and then at the end she'll show her true colors and try to wipe everyone out lol.
thats why I don't think that its gonna be a Tommen vs Cersei thing or that Cersei is going to object to Margaery being rescued.

She said she was initially turned off by the role of Margaery because she knew people would see it as just "another Queen who gets thrown in jail," but the show runners assured her it wouldn't be the same. And honestly, if you ask me anyway, Marg faking devotion and then driving a wedge between Tommen and Cersei is more interesting than Marg being executed for made up crimes. Not an insult to your theory or anything, I just feel like in the show, at least, it won't play out quite that way.

I'm very excited for Cersei's storyline. I won't predict it I have no idea but I hope she takes down as many people as she can. Cersei on a crazy rampage is what I want.

Marg being found innocent by the Faith and then getting killed by Robert Strong instead sounds like something Martin would do too. I'm sure Cersei wins her trial in the book, but it'd be too much of a neat victory for her if she won and saw Marg beheaded, more likely for Cersei to continue off the deep end and lash out with more chaos.

We know Marg makes it back to the Red Keep. I'm not sure how she can be determined innocent or guilty. She lied to the High Sparrow's face. The only way she can get off is if Loras is found innocent, so therefore she didn't lie. Yikes. Maybe he just forgives her because she's devout now. Here's a cool thought. Maybe Cersei starts off with a regular trial, and we can get some courtroom scenes with everybody just roasting here. Then she gets frustrated and realizes maybe Marg is influencing the judges so she does a trial by combat instead. A nice Tyrion parallel and shows Cersei get a taste of her own medicine.
