Yup. Everyone is speculating Wildfire. But it was pointed out on another forum that apparently in a previous episode (I'm guessing last season) the little birds were sent out to find dirt on the HS. I think those are the rumours. The Wildfire may happen eventually, but right now I think the next development will revolve around character drama.

I guess the HS isn't all pure and devout as he appears?

I expect he's not all pure and devout, but a power play makes sense over a political play to me. Cersi plays her own quote, 'knowledge isn't power, power is power' in most cases. Like having the mountain rip the head off the sparrow.
I guess we'll see

Another thought that has come to mind. If Cerseis trial is over her alleged incest with Jaime than isnt Tommen essentially now removing himself from power if she is found guilty as than he would no longer be the true heir to the throne?

Possibly, just because she was banging her brother doesn't mean that Robert didn't father the children. I'm pretty sure DNA evidence didn't exist back then and the Maury Povich show didn't exists either.

The trial covers her alleged incest with Lancel, the High Sparrow doesn't know about the incest with Jaime.

If it came out that Tommen was a product of incest, I'd say the High Sparrow would move to seize the crown.

Quite possibly the Sparrow does know and evidence will be brough forward at the trial which removes Tommen from the crown and makes the High Sparrow become Lord Regent or whatever until they figure things out. If he succeeds in his attempt at least. Im convinced that the rumor for Cersei involves outing the High Sparrow as a fraud. Perhaps shes even able to present it ala Ned Stark in season one did against her and is however out chessed by the Sparrow which brings upon her own demise, bringing her storyline full circle.

Wow. That episode was simply amazing.

The 30 or 40 second sequence at the start of the battle when the camera never left Jon and we saw all the action happening around him was legit one of best sword/cavalry battle sequences ever filmed. It rivals the scenes from Braveheart for sure.

I feel like they hinted that Little Finger is going to meddle with Sansa and Jons relationship.
