Hot pie

Joffery was a Baratheon.
Lannisters made damn sure to pretty much make people forget about the Baratheon heritage of Joffrey. After all, he is always referred to as 'Joffrey of the houses Lannister and Baratheon'
Awesome ending.
Feels good not knowing what's going to happen. Unlike the wedding that I had spoiled last season.
I say it was the grandma that did it. Along with the fool guy.
Didn't spot the necklace thing but it explains why he told her to go with him. Good stuff.
I guess that's why in the season trailers Tyrion was in chains.

I'm thinkin' it was the pie, and the granny / newqueen (I'm bad with names) both knew about it. The shot on the pie was menacing (maybe it was just showing he killed a dove with his strike?) When Margery was talking ill about Joffrey to granny, she told her to keep face, etc.
The way she immediately fed him the pie seemed to imply it too heavily.

just finished watching the ep., pretty good one, in fact probably one of my favorites since the cup scene was tense as all fuck. the whole thing echoed theon's torture under psycho sausage muncher bolton kid, it was pretty great
joffrey got less than he deserved but better he dies now before he can really start hurting dear tyrion.
guess joffrey's death couldn't escape how everything else works in this show, it never really bring satisfaction, it just helps fuel more frustration with how fucked up got's universe is.
wow they had this all recorded just to play after this episode lol
as in joffrey is such a fucking asshole he can't even cut a cake without killing something

I cant believe that was just the second episode of the season. How the hell are they gonna top that.
I hope the whole whodunnit angle isnt what we are in for, for the next 8 episodes. Get it out of the way nice and quick.

Were they pushing that? I noticed it in the wedding, but I always seemed to recall him referred to as Joffery Baratheon previously.
Regardless, his public face is Joffery Baratheon. The impudent king who had shown that he wouldn't be cowed easily by Tywin before. The Baratheon king who has a younger brother that is much more controllable who stands to gain the throne now.

how many episodes will be wasted trying to figure out who poisoned him? just seems that everything moves so slowly (targaryen's arrival, white walkers, battle at castle black)
Well people are already surprised that his death happened so soon, so I expect it's moving as fast as it should. There are just so many characters to cover, its hard to get a real sense of progress.
Why would she? Now they have no power.
I tried to figure this out in my post on the last page. Joffrey's death doesn't suddenly ruin her chances and if anything, keeps her best asset safer than before. Seeing as Tommen looked old enough, maybe she'll secure the marriage with him which will be safer for Margaery and improving her image while showing the Tyrells to be loyal to the people.

Anyone have that gif of the group of black dudes where the one jumps into the others' arms after (I assume) spittin some hot fire? It's hard to describe that gif.

Awesome episode. Finally!

Tommen seems to be the most likely candidate. That's why I'm saying it's not necessarily a bad move for Olenna since Margaery can marry Tommen which would be put them in an even better position, especially in terms of safety.
This episode had me so excited that I just tried to raid King's Landing in the Game of Thrones mod for Mount and Blade: Warband for shits and giggles and ended up losing horrendously.

They didn't consummate the marriage, so probably not.

Flawless episode. Joffrey's time was up
All the cuts to Varys' disapproving face during the wedding were cracking me up. I find it hard to believe he wouldn't know something was up given how many spies he has

Probably one of the most pathetic and therefore best deaths of the entire show so far; killed at his own wedding in his own country while eating a piece of pie - he deserves this shameful way to go
Sure, most people would love to see him being split in half or something similar barbaric, but to me this was the best kind of killing him since it totally exposes his true nature: a little child
Cersei's reaction was haunting and I can only assume that shit will get heated in the next episodes. The entire wedding arc was done so exceptionally well - spitting on Sansa's family and making them look foolish, the whole cup scene between Joffrey and Tyrion and of course the ending
This is just episode two of season four and I'm really excited to see where this will go. What a fantastic episode!

Emotion is clouding her judgement.
Tyrion is definitely going to take the fall for this...
Would their father allow Tyrion do be executed though? He may not like Tyrion but executing him would make their family look bad. Also Jamie doesn't seem to be on bad terms with Tyrion and may try to stop Cersei at having Tyrion sentence to death because there's no real proof that it was Tyrion. At this point it's just Cersei blaming the person she hates the most.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I looove the choking death fake out. Like he starts choking and you're thinking "aww fuck this would be a hilariously ironic way to die" and it just escalates into brutal. Four seasons in and this is probably the first really satisfying antagonist death. Awesome, awesome scene.
Episode as a whole was pretty good. A lot of slow world/character building that in many ways felt like an extension of the first episode, filling in the characters that were skipped over that time around.
Best thing: no Dany.

It will cause a rift within the family for sure.
Obviously Cersei has no love for him, even more so now. Tywin has never liked him but I don't know if he would support such a thing, but my guess would be yes
Jamie is obviously still close to Tyrion and would fight such a thing and Tommen seemed to be sympathetic to him at the wedding so perhaps he would move in his defense?
I can't see them killing off Tyrion though, they'll try but he'll get away. But then they did kill off Ned Stark so who knows?
I do wish they introduced Tommen more though as he is obviously going to play a much bigger part in things to come. But I suppose suddenly featuring the younger brother would raise questions as to why
Are we allowed to talk about trailers in this thread?
If so:

Script was incredible tonight. I loved the bitchiness of the whole thing, the passive agressive hatred.
This show is now the biggest game of Cluedo the world has ever seen.
I love the camera work and editing as well. EVERYONE COULD HAVE DONE IT!!!

Maybe they did. Maybe every single dish for the evening had been poisoned by a different person.
Nah, everyone knows it was that leech from Stannis that did it.

Holy shit. The part where a dwarf bops Varys on the head. Priceless.

Oh, I don't think he choked to death on his bile. He was bleeding out his pores and hemorrhaging everywhere.
If anything, he choked to death on his own blood, but more likely his heart just gave out. But it certainly wasn't a painless death.

I'm sure a lot of things were happening. It was more a figure of speech.
He looked weak, pathetic, and helpless, which is exactly what he was.

It was Varys. Look at his rage, seething under his cloak.
Beautiful episode. Joeffrey has to be the most miserable fucker to treat Tyrion like that. There has to be a point where even a lunatic will stop and think, "What about my image as a king?". I don't think Cersei said to arrest Tyrion because she hates him,but because Joeffrey pointed at his general direction.
