Speaking of Baratheon blood, I don't get how Cersei is gonna play this pregnancy card. Claiming Jamie is the father pretty much confirms all the rumors about Joffrey and Tommen. Which means that the Lannisters have zero claim to the throne at all. They have no connection to the Baratheon line at all.
Wouldn't that make it really really really easy for the people of westeros to support Dany?
I'm guessing she's not really pregnant. She just needed something to help create a potential future for Jamie to care about. Kingslayer was about to fold. Now he's all-in.
Gendry is a bastard, not a Baratheon. The annulment and marriage of Prince "Ragger" that Gilly read about is dramatic irony for the audience, telling us that Jon was Rhaegar's trueborn Targaryen son. As the Baratheons were killing the Targaryens, Jon became the last living male Targaryen. This may come up in the show such that Dany will have a struggle with the fact that she is not the true Targaryen next in line to the throne.
