Jon and Dany Targaryen

Same can definitely be said for Cersei. There are many things she shouldn't have done. She lost all three children and much of it was due to her emotions, thirst for power, and like you said paranoia. Tywin never understood her disdain for Margaery or the Tyrell's either and knew they had to maintain alliances. She f'ed everything up royally and serious issues always seemed to come to pass when Jaime left and she heeded nobody's advisement but her own. Like Tywin said, a wise ruler seeks advice. Only, you can say a wise ruler needs resolves as well to not be pushed around like Tommen. The witch may have told her what needed to be told in order to set tragic events in motion. Although, if true, the young more beautiful woman who will take power and King's Landing from her is actually Dany, not Margaery. For a woman who so desperately loves her children, she seemed to really grow cold and maybe desensitized. She destroyed the scept which was where all her children were laid to rest. She didn't seem to give two figs about Tommen's death and was dressed for her coronation. At the beginning, I was thinking, is she dressing for a funeral?? It was a huge funeral! Why the garments and preparation when she wasn't planning to attend the trial?

You also got to love the look on Jaime's face as he watches his sister get the crown. It seems whenever he leaves, she creates a disaster out of things. "Long may she reign" and then we see the thousand ships headed for King's Landing. Genius. LOL

I thought it was so carefully put together and I really felt the tragic ending of Lyanna's life and the important role she gave her brother in protecting her son. Even though we didn't know the young characters too well, it was very dramatic and touching. It gave me tears. The music that set in as we looked into Jon's awakened new eyes (I see a sadness, wisdom, peace, and sympathy that he has in his eyes ever since resurrection and this was seen as times such as with the red woman and here) was another really well put together scene.

One of my favorite episodes thus far. Last two were epic!
