Game of Thrones

[Springs]

Dany would be only a marginally better ruler than Joffrey. She bleats about being all justice and shit, but she's basically a surly child.

She'd probably actually be worse. She'd want to make all the decisions herself instead of letting (in Joffrey's case) Tyrion and Tywin do everything.

Spoiler: book 5 spoilers

Her 'rule' of Meereen was terrible.

 

[Misanthrope]

Alright

Spoiler: Major whodunit spoilers that will likely be revealed next week

The poison was in Sansa's necklace. One scene has the Queen of Thorns speaking to Sansa at the wedding and 'adjusting' the necklace with slight of hand. Afterwards you can see a bead from the necklace is missing. She put the poison in the cup when Joffrey put it down in front of her and spoke to the crowd.

Why the change from the hair net, do you think?

 

[PJ]

Thanks Springs

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Well I reckon daenerys is awesome and hot.

 

[Springs]

Probably just so they could have the visual from front-on. Doesn't make much difference really.

Book readers, any chance of a Gendry sighting this season?

His whole storyline was changed last season so who knows

Given he has basically become Edric Storm, I assume he'll follow that storyline from here on out.

GRRM basically forgot Gendry in the books anyway.

Spoiler: kittens

Spoiler: puppies

IMO there's characters in ASOIAF where GRRM has bitten off more than he can chew, & I think Gendry is one of them. I think he'll create something for him, just to justify the character, but I don't see the point of him. It's not like he can become king or anything.

Edric Storm was sent to Lys though. Davos just gave Gendry a rowboat and said 'go that way'.

 

[tumbidragon]

It wasn't a mini battle in the books. It was just a joust between two midgets.

On pigs...

Oh, a pig and a dog... FMD my memory is terrible Must re-read the books lol

 

[tumbidragon]

Pretty chuffed with Bron taking over the role of Ser Ilyn Payne from the books. The future banter and sparing between these two will be epic lol.

Spoiler: Book spoiler

Was pretty let down how Bron just seemingly rode off into the sun set. Though hoping he makes a comeback somewhere in the future.

I couldn't help myself and had to look.

But, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, GRRM has hinted that there might be other accomplices as well which haven't been revealed yet.

Temptation to click spoilers is strong...must stop reading this thread

Did he mean in the book or in the show?

The books

But in the Rolling Stone interview, Martin also says this about Joffrey's murder:
?I make no promises, because I have two more books to write, and I may have more surprises to reveal.?

Agreed. Definitely seems a more mature and somber lad.

Does give more justification for what comes down the line. Bitter ex and all that.

It's sad though that Wilko Johnson (legendary guitarist - YouTube him) who plays Ser Ilyn can't keep going as he has pancreatic cancer.

I would honestly prefer what she did in the book if

Spoiler: spoilers

her justification for condemning Tyrion to death is being a bitter ex. Considering they have tried to paint her and Tyrion as an honest, loving couple rather than a smitten dwarf and a sarcastic, greedy whore any resolution they have is going to be forced.
