it'll suck if this really does turn out to be the end of Jack Gleeson's acting career.

 

[DanielJr82]

It was freggin' epic. So good! =D

it'll suck if this really does turn out to be the end of Jack Gleeson's acting career.

According to his Wiki, he's going to pursue an academic career once his work is done in Game of Thrones; not pursuing a professional acting career.

Who is the rightful heir to the throne now?

 

[Enfinit]

Who is the rightful heir to the throne now?

Tommen, I suppose. Cersei's to rule until he comes of age?

 

[The One and Done™]

So why purple wedding?

 

[The Lamonster]

I keep on hearing mention of the Iron Bank. I assume that's a non-Westeros group otherwise why would Tywin or the Martells be worried about it?

Anyone know where they are based?

I assumed it was the huge debt the throne had with the King's Landing bank.

 

[Tabris]

Random thought, but I suppose the "nudity" warning before the episode was for the fake midget butts?

That Sand girl may as well have been nude too. What an outfit!

 

[antitrop]

This is known as the Purple Wedding? Is that a hint/spoiler about the necklace? Or a guess?

So why purple wedding?

Purple for royalty.

 

[DanielJr82]

So why purple wedding?

Because of Joffrey's face at the end...

 

[ebevan91]

So why purple wedding?

Joffrey's face turned purple. But "purple wedding" is just fan-made name for it, unlike the "Red Wedding", which is actually what it's called.

 

[Vire]

Purple for royalty.

Or maybe referring to the wine used to poison him.

 

[The One and Done™]

Purple for royalty.

Doesn't make sense to me.

 

[Dany]

Purple Wedding is a less common name for this event. I believe its a name attributed by fans and not at all in the book iirc.

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Satisfying episode. Jack Gleeson did a great job all around. His character though really just became a nuissance even to his own blood.

 

[Iceman]

I really hope not. He owned that little prick role.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Finally!

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Joffrey's death scene is on YT

pie is being served to everyone, not just Joffrey. Tywin is eating some as well.

the fucking camera lingers waaaaaay to long on Olenna

Jack Gleeson was perfection

 

[MG310]

Did they give Theon off-colored contact lenses to complete the look?

Also were the huntress/hunted with Ramsay the same 2 who he brought in to have sex with Theon last year?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I feel Olenna had just about nothing to do with it. Felt like Olenna was just concerned for Tyrion being berated by Joffrey.


Seemed like it was just the fool and Sansa in on it. Sansa picks up the cup when it goes under the table and puts something in it.

huh? i took it that the cake/pie poisoned him. cause you see the dead birds inside and we are led to believe that the sword killed them. maybe it was something else!

p.s.

nm about the pie then, i didn't see it was being served to everyone

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Even the look that Olenna's husband is looking at her. I had to make it small because the quality was bad, but he looks at her, just as Joffrey starts drinking.

Either Tyrion was in on it, or he knew she did something to it.

I think it was just an uncomfortable situtation, and they didn't know where to look.

 

[killer rin]

Excellent...excellent. YEEEAAAHHHSS... The little shit is dead! I can't believe he finally died! Its a wonderful day everyone!

Poor Tyrion though, He obviously didn't poison the drink, yet he is taking the fall.

 

[Phthisis]

I keep on hearing mention of the Iron Bank. I assume that's a non-Westeros group otherwise why would Tywin or the Martells be worried about it?

Anyone know where they are based?

Iron Bank of Braavos. Across the Narrow Sea in Essos. Same nation as the coin Jaqen H'gar gave to Arya.

 

[Lautaro]

Doesn't make sense to me.

Purple = royalty = color of people choking.

 

[Deku Tree]

You have awful taste dude.

It's by far the worst.

But the Dragonsz... ,!!!!

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Doesn't make sense to me.

I think it's because his face turned fucking purple

Guys look at 2:08. The way Sansa move her body like she's adjusting herself to grab something from under her dress, then she goes and picks up the cup. This is pay back for her mother and brother being slaughtered during Rob's wedding?

Edit: then right after Sansa asked Tyrion if they can leave. I'm thinking that the fool was in on this and the fool provided Sansa with the goods?

 

[Ragingbegal]

Tommen, I suppose. Cersei's to rule until he comes of age?

How about Cersei as a suspect? She remains queen, stops Margarie, implicates Tyrion, and still has another (less crazy) son to become king.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Tyrion is just fucked though, isn't he.

What a game changer! Twyin is fucking powerless now.

RIP one of the best TV villains EVER. Jack Gleeson did an amazing job.

 

[Vire]

How about Cersei as a suspect? She remains queen, stops Margarie, implicates Tyrion, and still has another (less crazy) son to become king.

Those motivations make sense, but she seemed to be genuinely afflicted when she saw her son dying. She is probably the only one who will mourn his death.

 

[Nameless]

I look forward to Stannis' reaction to all this.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

lol, I don't think she's that heartless.

 

[Yekshemesh]

OMFG!! I was jumping up and down when it happened!!

Spoiler

FUCK JOFFREY!!FUCK THE KING!!

 

[Ragingbegal]

Those motivations make sense, but she seemed to be genuinely afflicted when she saw her son dying. She is probably the only one who will mourn his death.

But we've seen her manipulate through her emotions before.

 

[Speevy]

I look forward to Stannis' reaction to all this.

Whatever he does, I'm sure it will be boring.

 

[Intheflorsh]

That's her son! She loved him even in spite of everything.

 

[CountAntonius]

I was not prepared for that. Wow. I mourn the loss of one of the most detestable villains of all time. He did a fantastic job with Jofferey.

 

[vinnygambini]

I don't even know what to say! Certainly did not expect that! Woosh

The show keeps giving! Wonder who the culprit is hmmmm

 

[soundscream]

Whatever he does, I'm sure it will be boring.

LOL

 

[NYR]

Hoping Joffery comes back to lead the white walkers.

 

[ClivePwned]

Great ending!

 

[Raynes]

Whatever he does, I'm sure it will be boring.

Too fucking true.

 

[Ragingbegal]

lol, I don't think she's that heartless.

When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die; there is no middle ground.

 

[victreeb3l]

FUCK

Shit. I did NOT want him to go like this

He deserved a fate much crueler than what he got. FUCK YOU GRRM

Damnit man

 

[Stevetopsy]

That's the best storyline in the whole show.

I meant in relation to everything else that's going on in the show which is westeros-based. I think her story is awesome, dragons, building an army, sacking cities, but it feels completely separate from everything else that's happening in the show. I'm sure it will connect back up at some point but right now its seems like she forgot about the throne and wants to focus on her crusade to free all slaves. I think the scheming stuff between the houses is way more interesting right now.

 

[bluepolicebox]

Very true. That final image of Joffrey will be with me for quite awhile.

 

[Kyuur]

Great episode. Stuck trying to figure out who dun it now, but that's half the fun!

 

[caesar]

I like the theory that the lady watching who paid for the stuff did it, along with the guy who warned the Stark girl. I was fucking cheering when Tyrion refused to kneel, if he dies this show will lose something it can't replace.

I kind of feel like Joffrey was needed in a way though. Like there aren't going to be anymore moments of Tyrion defying and making fun of him =(

I doubt Tyrion is dying. Him, Littlefinger and Varys are clearly the best at playing the game and are all alive for a reason.

 

[reKon]

Go to post 2227 to find out who did it (I think I got it)

It seems like a good idea that she's freeing slaves and getting people on her side while her dragons grow.

I just wonder if she can control them now. I would be highly upset if she winds up dying while freeing slaves due to one of her dragons turning on her. Ha.

Damnit man

He choked to death on his own vomit. He bled out of his eyes. What more do you want?
