I dunno... I really don't think someone who drugs the king's wine, because the queen asked him to, really shouldn't be someone protecting the king...

Well, to be fair, that King was a massive dick to him, at all times, for no other reasons than because he was a Lannister.

At least that's what I think the reason was.

Anyone seen any good edits to Joffrey's death yet (ala Joffrey dies to inappropriate music or stars react to Joffrey's death)? Personally, I'm hoping for a Jofrey dies to Happy by Pharrel to crop up. I'd do it myself, but I'm technologically challenged.

The shame about House Lannister in the books is that in reality, a lot of the members are legitimately nice people. The problem is that Cercei and Tywin are the faces of the family, and run most of the affairs, and as a result, their reputation.

I wouldn't say a lot of their members are legitimately nice people, in how while the majority might not be monsters (like Cersei, Tywin, and Joffrey) they do seem to share a good number of asshole traits.

[up]x 5 That was partly it no doubt but also Lancel looks like the guy who'd get picked on in high school for looking "girly" and Robert would have absolutely been the Jerk Jock.

"He was kind a dick to me" is no "he threatened to burn his own city to the ground" as far as excuses for killing your king go.

Considering he becomes importantish later on, I think he will.

His introduction will be important though.

[up][up][up]As I said that was part of why. The main reason was that Cersei had him by the genitalia, he's not very bright and kind of a pushover to start with

And the the only two times he tried not to be, he got stabbed, and knocked aside by Cersei (who hit him right where he got stabbed).

Ah, Cersei's magical vagina rears its ugly head once again! The one that can hypnotize good, upstanding Lannister men into committing horrific acts, like attempted child murder and regicide. Surely, they have no agency of their own.

[up] Cersei's vagina has more power than Mel's.

Clearly, Stannis was looking at the wrong pussy.

So if Edmure's is the Red Wedding and Joffrey's is the Purple Wedding, it feels like the upcoming wedding should have a name.

The Kitten Wedding?

[up]That sounds good.smile Tommens such a sweet kid. I hope that he never finds out about his parentage and if he dies that he goes quickly and peaceully.

Will Sansa be in the Vale next episode or is it too soon?

She and Dontos should reach LF's boat, Dontos death and then the boat should leave for the Fingers next episode.

I would love for Sansa to reach the Vale in one ep because we'd get more Sansa doing something other than look forlorn. She's a pretty important pov and I feel her plot/screen time has gotten absorbed by Tyrion.

Ewww why are we getting Littlefinger's Po V? I feel skeevy enough when he's just IN scenes.

@Son Well we're not really getting a Littlefinger Po V. At least I hope not. We'll just be seeing how he operates from Sansa's perspective. Although it'll probably look like like a Littlefinger Po V since it's hard for the show to properly convey Sansa.sad

Plus we need to see him mentor Sansa.

The show doesn't technically even have POV, characters drift in and out of scenes as and when. I would imagine we'll get some scenes of Sansa without Littlefinger and some vice versa, but not very many of the latter (the whole point of that plotline is how much she learns from him).

They do have PO Vs at points.

For example, the bedding scene with Tyrion and Sansa was shot from Tyrion's POV rather than Sansa's.

Out of curiosity, did anyone catch the names of the kings Tywin mentioned? I caught Baelor, but missed the second.
