?? i was going by their titles. if Lords are electing a King, that makes sense, kids of Lords really doesnt.

I don't recall Bran or Brienne having any input into Bran's selection as king, and Sam is the rightful heir of House Tarly and likely the highest ranked lord of the Reach at that point.

Sam would technically be the new head of house Tarly with his father and brother being dead, assuming at some point he was pardoned from being in the Night's Watch, I guess, and maybe that did happen with him being shown as Grand Maester later, but at the time of the meeting he was still wearing the black leathers of the Night's Watch, so Chuk is technically correct with the information available to us. The entire "kingsmoot" scene was garbage, and a prime example of what they could slop together in a hurry to make something fit the details they were given.

I know they totally glossed over it, but Dany burning Sam's father and brother makes him the Lord Tarly. Bran is the last male Stark. Not sure if we ever get word what happens to Brienne's parents, though...but she is a knight of the realm.

The kid of a lord becomes the lord when their father dies.
Bran, the last surviving full blood son of Ned Stark is the Lord of Winterfell. Sam became Lord as the last remaining male Tarly left alive.
Brienne...eh, you may have a point with her. As far as I know shes just a knight.

Easy Peasy... Drogon flies back to Valeria where there is a clutch of eggs, Lays Dany's body on them and breathes fire to hatch them (optionally bringing her back). New dragons roam the world while magic starts to "resurface". Jon's has had kids with a wildling, which produces enough Targ blood to tame/ride them. Sansa is now the bad guy. And Bran getting close to dying is causing a civil war picking a new king.
Assuming "GoT : Detectve Drogon" doesn't become a hit....

You blanked good sir, she says aye.

another example of little details that people can't seem to keep straight, again not a particularly egregious one, and quite forgivable. But then take the proceeding posts about Sam being the new Lord Tarly, and everyone apparently forgetting that when you take the black, you give up all claim to title, lands, and income assumed by your family, regardless of who dies, you are no longer part of succession. I'm assuming that him being Grand Maester later, means Bran royally decreed him pardoned of his oath to the Night's Watch or some other bullshit, much like a bastard can be legitimized by royal decree.- 4

In theory Bran should know WELL in advance of anybody planning shit against him, so could avert crap 3-eyed gangsta style....

yeah, i mean if randos can get to vote for a fucking King along with Lords of realms, then it is fucking democracy anyway.

Yes, thats actually what the flame swords did. it was a cast of Death Ward, and Gentile Repose.
Deathward 4th level abjuration. Cleric.
Touch a creature. The first time it drops to 0 hit points from taking damage, it instead drops to 1 hit point and the spell ends. If the target is subjected to an effect that would kill it instantly without dealing damage, the effect is negated and the spell ends.
Gentle Repose 2nd level necromancy. Cleric, Wizard, Ritual.
For the duration, the target is protected from decay and can't become undead. The spell also extends the time limit on raising the target from the dead from spells such as Raise Dead.
