A new king, a murder is solved, Arya tries out for "Dancing with the Westerosi Stars" and Hodor well...Hodors. This episode of "Game of Thrones" seemed to be a set up for much bigger things so lets penetrate those gates and cheer on Tommy Boy.
Sad Cersei
The people of King's Landing actually look happy during Tommen's crowning ceremony, don't they? It's nice to see cheering and relief that this non-psychopath may actually show them the path through the dark places. Will he reign long? At least no one died during the reception that followed but since more weddings are in the future, we'll just have to wait.
As Tommen sits on his new throne and ogles his potential bride, Margaery, with a "How you doin'?" look, Cersei pulls a Ser Pounce and blocks the moment. She looks tired and sad during this joyous occasion. Despite Joffrey's awfulness, which she surprisingly admits to, she is still mourning her first born. She tells Margaery, "He would have been your nightmare. You knew exactly what he was. The things he did shocked me." This says a lot for a woman who admits to not being shocked easily.
Sadly, Tommen, who is a decent boy, achieved the crown thanks to horrors. Cersei asks Margaery if she's interested in being queen and she lies through her dimples with the whole BS story of saying "no" and having to ask daddy about the prospect. Then Margaery is faced with what she will call Cersei...mother or sister. Cersei seemed very calm since the last time this dilemma arose when she threatened to murder Margaery if this topic came up again. It's like Margaery was taunting the weakened Queen Regent.
