OT- Game of Thrones S04E02 @ 9;00 PM: The Lion and the Rose

Submitted by Eastside Maize on

An obvious allusion to the Lannister and Tyrell wedding. I'm curious to see what mischief Prince Obeyren will get into at the wedding/reception. As always no book spoilers. Enjoy.

let me just say that I think valuable screen time is wasted on sadistic Ramsey...  It is HBO after all..

I guess,

Yeah I have no idea why that bullshit was necessary. Very disappointing, we get the guy is a psycho don't need any more illustrations of it, especially ones that uncomfortably cruel.

Wow! Totally didn't see that coming. Really happy to see Geoffrey dead but I would rather seen one of the stark's kill him. I'm guessing it was the fool behind the poisoning since he hurried sensa away before we saw him die?

I would like to point out that you may know what you know cause you read the book, but on the TV show you don't know do you?  There are have been countless plot points changed by the producers and this could be one...

I would like to cite the look between olenna and Tyrion right before Tyrion gives Joffery the cup... I think Tyrion was in on it in the TV show.

ps. you guys have got to stop confusing the books with the show; we are three seasons in almost as much is off as it is on from the books...

Anyways, I doubt people will read through 7 pages of comments. One need only look at the last  post to gleam that no one really knows for certain. 

 

I did  read on another site that Oleanna was indeed the culprit. She would make sense as no one would think of her. They would suspect Tyrion and Sansa. The truth is that Joffery, his mother, and grandfather infuriated a lot of people. It could be any number of people

Well.  Awesome episode.  It wasn't quite the sword to the belly by Sansa that I had hoped for, but Joffrey died a painful death and I'm happy!

Now Cersei needs to go!

Wow, Joffrey died a lot sooner than I thought he would. But you know its the mark of a great actor when everyone praises his character dying in the most painful fashion.

Still, I think things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. I'm a non-reader, but I feel like this really paves the way for Tywin to assume complete power and make life a living hell for everyone who isn't a Lannister.

Still, great, great episode. Setting up to be one hell of a season.

For quite a while I've thought that Jack Gleeson has been doing one of the really elite acting jobs in this whole show.  Peter Dinklage got the Emmy, and not to take that away because he's outstanding, but his part is sort of award-friendly and I feel like some of the lines he gets are targeted for popularity.  But if I had to pick the actor/actress who I thought was doing the absolute best job, best of the best, Gleeson, hands down.
