I try to be patient & not look down on those who have not read the books or delved into the details of the storyline like my semiobsessed *** has done, but thinking Jaime touching Lannister will somehow be in the line of succession is pretty freaking foolish

Thanks for being patient with all of us idiots your holiness.
According to this, Jaime, Tyrion, but most likely Cersei would be the next to rule.

Assuming that people buy that Robert Baratheon is the father of Cersei's kids, Jaime is the closest male heir now that he is relieved of his Kingsguard duties. Fairly simple.
It won't eventually matter but it is not wrong.
The Baratheon claim to the throne is based upon a claim through the female Targaryen line. It's the reason Robert was chosen as king instead of Ned or Jon Arryn. That makes Dany the only heir with blood from the royal family. The fact that the Baratheon kings were installed based upon the blood of a female Targaryen is what makes her claim strongest.
You're right about it not mattering. Cersei will crown herself and demand Jaime return to King's Landing and help her rule. That won't go so well for her.

That did play a role at least. But Ned Stark did not want the iron throne and I would imagine neither did Job Aryn. Robert was still a usurper. He took the iron throne because he was a BMF back when he unseated the mad King. Robert was said to be one of the best warriors in all of Westros at this time, he killed Rhaegar in single combat and Rhaegar was supposed to be a good fighter. Robert was big strong and described as being very handsome, we've seen young Ned and can confirm he wasn't the most handsome guy lol. Robert was endorsed for the biggest reason being that he kicked *** and killed all the Targaryeans that mattered at the time aside from Khalessi and Vanrys.
All that stuff is true, but the legal precedent set by installing Robert as king was to rely upon his Targaryen blood through his grandmother to establish his claim to the throne. If I had to guess, this was done not to deny Ned the throne, but to deny Tywin Lannister the throne. The Lannister army held King's Landing, the Lannisters killed the king, and the Lannisters wiped out the remaining heirs found in the Red Keep.
Yes. Aegon VI comes before Jon or Dany even if Jon is recognized as a legitimate son of Rhaegar and Lyanna. Of course in the books, Myrcella was allegedly still alive and Arianne Martell was plotting to crown her queen.
A lot of chatter in the fan blogs about ....
Lady Stoneheart making an appearance in this episode. Most people point to the preview for the finale, and Frey's comments alluding to the Red Wedding....
Still skeptical. There has been the exact same chatter at the end of the past two seasons.
At least 30 minutes of which will be him explaining why he hasn't finished the book.
SIAP, but this is perfect for friends you don't really like. https://www.spoiled.io/
