got caught up last night. I threw my hands up in the air and shouted YES!!! then I looked at my wife and she said "HOLY SHIT". during the dwarf fight scene they made a point to show all of those who would benefit from the kings death and how un-amused they were by his antics. trying to figure out the "fools" role in this as he whisked Sansa away and said "come with me if you want to live", but not all terminator'ish. me thinks Verys plotted this out and Tyrion kinda stumbled into the blame not having any idea what was going down. also, cersai(sp) is a total cunt View Quote Try reading the last few pages and you'll figure out who and how it was done. |

I have an odd idea about who may have planned it out, but it would be too good. which in this universe is very likely.

Damn this thread and you guys getting me to read about things I shouldn't be reading yet. I haven't read the books, and a week between episodes is just too long!

Waiting 7 days between Episodes is a long time. Is it Sunday yet?

This is the first season I ordered HBO to watch weekly. I like the recap before the opening credits to kinda remind you of what has happened in past episodes that has lead up to this point. Like Sansa saving the fool...had almost forgot about that and to why it was important.

Quoted: I will be seriously pissed if they change that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Absolutely correct, although I bet we'll see the architect behind the whole thing in the next few episodes. Also... Click To View Spoiler It makes more sense in the books because little brother is already a kingsguard and they're afraid he'll kill joff the moment he tries anything with marg. Also, Shea better not be on the fucking ship. She must die. Click To View Spoiler Let's not be hasty with Shae. So far she hasn't betrayed Tyrion and may not due to differences in the show vs movie. Now, If Tyrion finds her in bed with dear old dad... I will be seriously pissed if they change that. Don't worry. I don't see how they can change that part of the story. Twyin: Have her[Shae] brought to the Tower of the Hand. |

Knowing Joffrey was murdered shortly thereafter, I thought this was a nice shot from the last episode.
Click To View Spoiler I also loved Olenna's “war is war, but killing a man at a wedding? Horrid. What sort of monster would do such a thing?”

now it could've been because i haven't read the book in a while but i could've sworn they never really pointed a finger at who did it. or gave us a good idea? i always thought it was a make a guess of your own thing.
in the show it's kind of obvious. but since in the book the whole wedding is in tyrions POV it's pretty hard to pick up on stuff like that.

Somebody hit me up with a spoiler. What is the purpose of the Theon arc? It never seems to be talked about much in this thread or the last season's thread. Does he ever get "right" again? He's there to show the proper fate for those who betray. Maybe, but personally I don't think "woe unto Theon for siding with his family over the house that kept him hostage for a decade." He was in a true "damned if you do; damned if you don't" situation. No matter which side he chose he would be betraying someone and would be known as a turncloak. I think the betrayal was use of his relationship with the family that raised him (prisoner or no) to come back and take Winterfell. Remember, that action was not what he was asked to do even by his father. He went out on a limb, and the way he chose to do it was piss poor. He did not acquit himself with honor in the process either. I'm not talking about what he did or didn't do after he chose his family over the Starks. I'm talking about the actual decision itself. No matter which side he chose he was fucked. If he sides if the Starks he betrays his house and his family and if he sides with his family he betrays his surrogate brother and his best friend. Hmmmm betray your family of thieving, raping, murdering, rapists or your surrogate family that is the most honorable in the land with a proud history who treated you more like a son than your own father would have and is fighting for the freedom of the realm. Hmmmmmmmm tough choice! Totally understandable to side with your criminal and asshole father who commands people to rape and pillage vulnerable innocents. |
