I see tonight's episode was written by Martin

Should be a doosy. His written episodes are always great.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

Yeah, Martin is really talented, he should write more.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

According to my mother-in-law, HBO aired this by mistake yesterday and she's already seen it?

I'm thinking tonight is the night for something big. And I can't wait to see reactions if it is.

Also, you can get Sig Ros' version of The Rains of Castamere: http://www.amazon.com/The-Rains-of-C.../dp/B00JAJNXOW

Everything I thought it would be and more

I don't think there will be too many "RIP Joffery" comments

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

Not a reader of the books but I was kinda hoping he would be killed by someone's sword. I still laughed pretty loud when he started acting like an ass at the party.

Glad he went out in pain and fear - better than a sword doing the job.

Bahahha awesome.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

Thanks, I was wondering who they got for this version.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

13 minutes later and I am still sitting here in happy shock.

Great episode and I am not just saying that because of the ending, although that alone was more than enough. Not going to miss him at all.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

So who would be next in line?

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

I'd rather see him get the same treatment Theon is getting.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

Tommen. The Joffrey clone sitting next to Tyrion at the wedding

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

i was wondering who that was

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

It's also another re-casting for this season.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

After the humiliation he suffered, I had hoped Tyrion would have that opportunity at some point.

Still, good fucking riddance, prick!

I was thinking the poisoner was Sansa, but the circumstances wouldn't make sense. That she would just happen to have the opportunity to handle his chalice and thus poison him, would be too coincidental. Likewise for Tyrion.

Not looking for the answer, just wanted to mention it.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

The Premiere was better. Audio was choppy at times. Dinklage's acting isn't very subtle this season so far. They need to give the Rains of Castamere song a rest for a while now.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

I understand that this is what happens in the book but after 3+ seasons it just didn't translate as well to TV. Not nearly satisfying enough.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

My money is on Prince Pay His Debts (Oberon?). Does this mean Cersei is Queen regent again, since the marriage was not consummated? I'd be a little worried if I was the next dude set to marry Margaery...

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

I think it's because it was at the beginning of a new season in the second episode. After a long break, even though yeah we all hate him, not experiencing his assholishness in awhile might kind of take away from the satisfaction. Just my theory.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "The Lion and the Rose" -- 4/13/14
 

I thought it was great. I kind of knew it was coming, although not how it would happen, but the surprise was lessened. I think a lot of viewers who haven't read the books will be shocked and delighted. I liked that it came out of nowhere without much flourish. It's only episode 2, so this is clearly going to lead to much bigger things. I think rocket is on the mark that it's early so it didn't feel as big.

Would have been nice if it happened earlier in the episode so we got more sense of the aftermath though.
