Yes, I believe so.

I'm thinking you're talking about when he said "my lady." That's just her title as a noble not as his girlfriend.

There was a scene in ASOS where Arya and Gendry are wrestling and they end up tumbling and rolling around on the ground together that could provide some major fuel for shippers.

So is the ending of episode 9 going to be the most recorded tv reaction video?

God I hope so. I would love to do it, but I don't think I have any non-spoiler/reader friends to invite to experience that for myself.

People are going to start wondering when their buddies start breaking out the camera equipment.

My wife is not spoilered. She says if they kill tyrion, she is out

Got to be on the sly.

I think for a lot of people, episode 2 or 3 next season will be higher, whenever that moment happens..

I would almost agree. There are a lot of people at TWoP predicting that Robb will die, even why, just not when or how exactly. I've not seen one person predict Joffrey's death. At least nobody thinking it's going to happen anytime soon, and not come at the hands of someone like Robb or Danerys.

His death was more of a shock to me than that of Cat and Robb, but most likely because I had read about the latter two earlier. The only shock I got from them was the brutality of it all, and UnCat showing up was a pretty big WTF? moment for me.
Joffrey's death was shocking due to the fact that it didn't occur as much as a villain getting the come uppance in a crowd pleasing fashion than just a simple case of someone not knowing the heimlich (sp?) maneuver. Also, having it occur in the second or possibly first ep. of next season would be the major shock.

I will be interested to see if some viewers drop out altogether after the Red Wedding, but if they stuck around after Eddard's death, they most likely have an idea to expect the unexpected.

Seeing as he was poisoned, I think he definitely got his comeuppance!

That's why I loved Joffrey's death. It's not a noble or awesome way to die. He does in front of every lord in Westeros by choking on pie and suffocating to death. It's rewarding for the reader/viewer that he goes out in such a stupid and horrible way.

It'll be interesting to see how this is adapted for the show. Do you plant the seeds of a poisoning in advance or just have him "choke" and then come back an episode or two later and reveal the mystery of who did it.

Then again, I don't remember how quickly in the books it was identified as poison, but I do know that Tyrion was pretty much instantly accused. I may need to re-read that chapter.

I guess we'll know how that scene will proceed if Sansa has a hairnet and Lady Oleanna proceeds to adjust it.

I'm not suggesting they won't do the same thing, I just wonder how much of a shock it will be to the viewer based on the information they give ahead of time.

They don't know for sure, but Cersei accuses him instantly. Joffrey comes over to taunt Tyrion, eats the food off his plate and then grabs his wine and starts drinking it. When he starts choking Tyrion stupidly pours the wine out on the floor which makes everyone assume that he was trying to hide the poison.

Gotcha, thanks for the reminder.

Shippers will have a field day with this (Arya/Gendry)

She obviously has family on her mind in this episode. But when she tells Gendry "I can be your family," it sounds like she might mean something very different – even if she herself barely realizes it yet.
When I first read that scene, it really got to me. I always knew that Arya and Gendry were going to take separate paths, but when you actually see it. . . I was really getting on well with Joe [Dempsie], and it was just like "Oh, this is going to end now." Then you go in do it. At first I read it as "You can come to Winterfell, I'll show you how everything goes, and you can come and sit at the table with us." I thought it would be a bit like Theon. But when I was doing the scene, [director] Alex Graves said "When you say that last line, 'I can be your family,' say it like 'I love you.'" And that's the take that they used. On the day, we didn't cut in between. We kept going, and going, and going again, which I really liked; otherwise, you get out of it and you have to try and build yourself back up to that point again. Sometimes I was really crying, and then we'd pull it back. I don't know how many we did, but the last one we did…We settled on the one when I said it like "I love you," and it really works.

Guesses?

My first thought too much stuff going on in episode 9. And is bran's ghost story uncat?

I think it might be about the Rat Cook or the story about the Night's Watch commander who fell in love with a White Walker.

Sounds boring. Wonder if there's something they aren't telling us...

Have Nymeria help bring Uncat out of the water
