  No. We got the bit when she'll have a child again and some of Maggy the Frog to Cersei about her children.

  I don't get it either, and it makes less sense if they wanted to throw girl-power at us. The books are already pretty pro-feminism.

  Why? She's a Bolton

  Is she? Her and Tyrion's marriage was never annulled. I know it wasn't consummated, but that doesn't negate it. Unless we're completely discounting it because the Bolton marriage was done under the eyes of the Old Gods.

  And I still don't think it matters at all. She's a Stark. Cersei was never a Baratheon. Women don't take their husbands names in ASoIaF, if I recall, except in rare occasions like Lady Dustin and that's usually when there's no other heirs of that family name. Cat was always referred to as Catelyn Tully, not Catelyn Stark.

  Regardless, she's the only legitimate heir to Winterfell. Daughters still come before bastards and Jon isn't legitimized. I mean shit, they can have Jon and still rally behind Sansa.

  Yes, I was surprised at that. Should have been Sansa. At least it's been confirmed that Jon Snow is Robert Baratheon's son, and thus has a claim on the Iron Throne.

  That was sudden, and at first  I thought "Huh! What's he doing there?! He's in Dorne!" 

  But then the penny dropped. We now have Dany and her dragons, the Unsullied, half the Iron Islands fleet, the Martells and the Tyrells all descending on the newly installed Queen Cersei.

  Wow!

  Spoilers....

  OK, I took it from that that Jon is Robert Baratheon's son. Leandra made Ned promise not to tell Robert You still think Rhaegar? 

  I think you're probably right! That of course makes him first in line for the Throne doesn't it?

  Ewwww.

  They may not be blood relatives but they grew up together as brother and sister. Ewwww.

  But I thought exactly that with their little moment towards the end: echoes of Jamie and Cersei.

  The biggest block to them being married is he's a bastard and they're presumed siblings.  First Cousin marriage, Uncle-Niece marriage, etc weren't uncommon.
