He just poured Joffrey wine twice after getting humiliated. Tyrion has made many threats in the past. She hates Tyrion. Joffrey pointed at Tyrion. Plenty of reasons. I could be wrong, but Tywin usually only corrected Joff when they weren't in public. Never more than a handful of council members were present in those instances.
we will always remember! I felt like I knew him. the way he always wanted to give things nicknames like he was posting in the garm.
my thoughts exactly. could be either one (or both!) the jester's lack of surprise at the situation is telling though.
If I knew the show was going to be this damn good back in 04, I wouldn't have read the f**king books. I still loved the scene, but I probably would have enjoyed it so much more if I didn't know it was coming.
Not having read the books, my guess is it was Sansa .. It fits, she held the cup for Tyrion, she hated Joffrey with a passion, her brother and mother were murdered at a wedding.. she went to the Jester and asked him to help her poison him, that's what it looks like.. I don't care if I'm right or wrong, but don't spoil it.. lol
I don't like the whole Jaime and Cercei thing. They've turned him into another p***y on a pedestal fool when he is supposed to be reformed of the Cercei-ness .
I really think he should have been nominated for an individual Emmy. He does such a good job playing a character that EVERYONE hates. I don't think I've ever hated a character on tv as much as I hated Joffrey. Also, I wish he would have suffered a longer, more gruesome death...and I was wishing it was by a Stark, and if it turns out Sansa killed him it would be poetic.
Didn't like this episode as well, but that's probably because they focused on less interesting character groups. This episode, for instance, had both Bran and Reek segments which had been mercifully absent from episode 1 (I'd honestly be happy if we didn't see either of these groups again for the rest of the season). Whereas the first episode had Hound/Arya and Wall segments that were sadly missing missing from this one. Also, I knew it was coming because I'm a book-reader, but I didn't think they'd kill Joffrey until around episode 4. With eight episodes still to go, seems like they'll really have to draw out Tyrion's trial. *shrugs*
I'm not going to be able to find the link because it's been a while, but at one point in an interview GRRM said that he felt bad for Jack Gleeson drawing so much hate, because he was a really sweet kid and a really fine actor. Well, I can't speak to his personality, but he really did do a wonderful acting job. Maisie Williams seems to get most of the credit amongst the child actors on this show, but I think Gleeson is even better. I'm not sure that I would have nominated him for an Emmy (there were so many other fine performances last year), but if he had gotten one I wouldn't have argued with it. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Dinklage is just a wee bit overrated. If I had nominated anyone from GoT for a supporting actor Emmy, it would be Charles Dance.
**** yes. Was wondering when it would happen. So many people to suspect here. Sansa, the Tyrell's (though judging from the next episode's preview not so much) the fool and how has Oberyn not been mentioned yet? I realize he wasn't near the cup, but we all know the "The Lannisters aren't the only ones who pay their debts." line from him. To the book readers, do we find out soon who poisoned him? I don't want to know who though.
If I remember correctly, the revelation is made by the inference of a character in which we read their thoughts through narration. Not sure if they'll reveal it the same way/time. You're led to believe Bran and Rickon are dead (though there were hints) for over half of the second book, while the show only had you thinking that for half an episode. Who knows how they'll go about this.
Spoiler That doesn't happen for a while. At this point in the books he's not even in KL yet. I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but Pedro Pascal is killing it so far as Oberyn.
Spoiler It seems to me in the book that yes it was revealed rather quickly who was responsible, but how long will the show take to reveal it? Who knows? For example, in the original Game of Thrones book, who pushed Bran off the tower was somewhat of a mystery for some time whereas in the show, they actually showed Jaime doing it...
