eight1echo Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Today was the first instance of the plot of a recent episode being spoiled for me through social media. Kinda sucks but mostly astonishing it hasn't happened before now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I wish I hadn't read the book because I enjoy the series more and would have been so much more happy at the surprise. This was the book I stopped at though so ill get my chance soon enough, then I will go back and read them once the series ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So. Who poisoned Joffrey? I have to re-watch that scene as I've been reading that there was a shot where it made it obvious on who did it. Yes! I'm definitely going to rewatch the episode tonight. This season has been great so far. I hope it only gets better. Had a feeling this was all going to go down this episode due to the context clues in the foreshadowing of the previous episode, but that death scene... It was awesome! What was up with Cersei saying she is queen? That seemed strange now that there was in fact a new queen. Jealous much, or did she know something was going to happen?

jhulud Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Damn. Didn't figure my question would spark such heated debates. Ouch. At first I thought it may had been Sansa since she did reach for the cup from under the table and handed it to Tyrion. BUT. Then noticed that the cup that Joffrey grabs afterwards is one sitting in front Margerite's mother. Right? Hell. I initially thought the dumbass was choking for real on some dead pigeon stuck in the slice of pie after he cut the thing with the sword. There was a quick shot of a pigeon's head and blood in the carved out pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think that change might be because of the other actor having cancer, so they needed a replacement since he might not have been available for camera time. Bronn is, I agree, the best replacement. @timbrh - i really wish I haven't read the books, but I read them after season 1 came out so I shot myself in the foot there. didn't realize how much I'd be letting up. I tell all people I meet now to never read past the season. I also thought it was very interesting, that at least as far as we can tell, they put Shae on a ship...... If they really took out that plot twist, I will be livid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laralaurent Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm reading the books now but am glad I'm doing it after the fact. For they are far better than an already well done show. So the show isn't spoiled and the story is stronger as I read. Of course the readers may know more what's going on, but I thought the show last night made a point to focus on the pie when it was cut and the new queen did not have a bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Can't decide which was more enjoyable... the look of helplessness and agony on Joffrey's face, or the pain and heartbreak on Cersei's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Can't decide which was more enjoyable... the look of helplessness and agony on Joffrey's face, or the pain and heartbreak on Cersei's. A tiny tiny part of me felt bad for both of them. But then I remember how shitty human being they both are/were and then relished in the tragedy.

If you're really curious to what I've read, you can shoot me a PM and I'll tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Tyrion first fills it Joffrey hands it to Margery who then sets it on the table by her grandmother. Then when told again, Tyrion walks over grabs the same cup and the camera focuses on the grandmother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then has to be the so-called shot of the grandmother that I read somewhere points/hints out to to who poisoned Joffrey. I'm curious to see how it all unfolds now.

noalarmplanet Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I realize it was left ambiguous in the book but I always put my money on the grandmother. From a story point of view it makes the most sense. The queen doing it too obvious, and sansa Is too smart/cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 BLAHHHH Put a spoiler on shit like that so people who don't want it spoiled don't accidentally read your interpretation of the book. Or take it to the newly created ASOFAI thread so us nerds can talk book/show discrepancies and whatnot without ruining it for others.
