Note that we're not comparing the books and the tv show in this thread. Book readers, please use the other thread.
Did you program an AI that sends you a message any time someone attempts to mention the books?
If he told you that, he'd have to kill you.
Not yet. That happens in book 5. Poor guy he's already dead and doesn't know it.

It must suck running a TV-only blog and have comments from dickheads ruining the show that you have to take down (and therefore read). I suppose you could get a book reading fan to moderate it though.
He's doing a great job though! Thanks Cornballer!

The most compelling motive for Littlefinger being a conspirator, aside from his own ambition, is revenge for Catelyn Stark. Lannisters killed his beloved at a wedding so he kills their king at his. It would also go along way in ingratiating him to Lysa Arryn who has a deep seeded hatred for the Lannisters. They did poison her husband, after all.
I thought this too. She was gonna go out in a blaze of glory.

I really wish Gleeson would keep acting. Love this short clip of him doing a good guy vs. villain.

Oleana had to do it. Not sure how but it has to be her and Margerie. They've been plotting against the throne. That's why they kept Sansa close. I mean, what's some collateral damage of a few people if you can put yourself and your famy in power? Did you see margerie's face when the dwarves were performing? Fucking ICE COLD.

Seems like you'll need a Cornbotter for yourself soon to repost this every page!
Does Joffrey's death mean there is no king or does it go to Joffrey's brother? If house Tyrell retain power after this then they are the number 1 candidates.

technically, marge is now Queen Regent? but maybe they will be all like, the marriage has not been consummated so it's rightfully joff's brother's throne, etc
Did Joffrey suffer in the books like it appears he did on TV?
I've never hated a fictional character as much as Joffrey but his demise left me a bit disappointed. I wanted Arya to run Needle through his throat after a lengthy torture scene or one of Dany's dragons to burn him alive. Poison is just too quick for what he deserved. At least the little prick suffered.
I really liked the way he died (what a thing to say). Looks so goddamn brutal.
But doesn't Margaery lose power with Joffrey dying? Had he still been alive she would've become queen. Doesn't make sense, especially since they weren't even officially married yet.

also: glad the little shit is dead. Guess we'll see the actor somewhere else soon enough.
The fans deserved that quality work. They deserved the pleasure so hard.

You actually won't unfortunately, he's retiring to pursue academic interests, which he has always intended to do.
But who knows, maybe it'll be like Michael Jordan or Eminem, he can't get enough of the game (of thrones) and comes back.
No. Technically kingship is based on Baratheon's heirs. The brother is next in line.

We are back to square one, Stannis is the rightful King lol
Also I finally understand this poem
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_a_Song_of_Sixpence
Succession is a matter of having a good enough claim combined with a good enough army. Stannis lacks one of these.

Dear lil Tommen, the zombie Lannister? :>
ps. that was not a spoiler. it was because i heard the actor who plays tommen was the one playing the other lannister that was killed in the previous season. sorry if i got any of you anxious. .__.;;
I watched an interview with him, and it's interesting to hear his (real) Irish accent.

I swear in the whole of Westeros there are only two songs: The Rains of Castamere and The Bear and the Maiden Fair.

I thought it was more a reaction to the killing of Renly. But probably a combination of both.

I didn't notice Melisandre when I was watching it, but it was only natural for Loras to be angry, he loved and respected Renly.

^ me too
i didn't notice either mellisandre or loras actually. i just thought he left at the part where they were trying to mimic shoving up a club at renly's backside.
poor loras :<
that whole spectacle was so terrifically done. everyone's discomfort was so palpable, and then there's the lot that were really enjoying it, too. lol. great scene.

I really hope he comes back to acting some day. The look in his eyes when he changes to the villain is so good.

It's weird that our introduction to the show had Jaime push Bran out a window to keep a terrible secret but EVERYONE knows every secret of every royal... who's having an affair, who's having incestual relations, who's gay, who got a hand cut off, who ran away.
The commom people make jokes about it, the other court officials all openly gossip about it. It's kinda silly.

People only know about the incest because Stannis told everyone after Ned told him. No one else (still living) knew when Bran caught them.

All I gotta say about ep 2 is this:
Rest in HELL, motherfuckeeeeerrrrrrr!!!
But on a serious note, let's all take a moment of silence in respect for our glorious fallen King.

The Hound said it best: FUCK DA KING
