Tyrion's reaction was great during that scene. He was like, "how unexpectedly gracious of you...wait what are you up to?"
Agreed.
Actually earlier in the wedding when he was surprisingly gracious I thought for a moment "holy crap, maybe he finally understands he will go further if he hides his evil a little." But then his true nature came out before he died.
I noticed Tywin was virtually silent at the wedding, almost too restrained.
Wouldn't it be grand if it was found out he just choked.
He was letting Joffrey make a fool of himself and that wasn't in Tywins interests, which to me is strong evidence he didn't care what Joffrey did because he was going to check out anyway.
Except he threw up, and had blood pouring out his eyes and nose. They made it as obvious as they could that he died an unnatural death.
You'd like the books better. In the books everyone at first thinks he was just choking to death on the pie, until Cersei demands Tyrion be arrested.
Joffrey was one of the more interesting characters in the show. Well written, and well executed. Unlike many others, which are just wooden - like the ones in cheap thriller fiction novels.
No, but it makes him the least likely suspect. He's never been shown as anything other than a monumental screw-up. It would be a deus ex machina moment if he suddenly got his act together well enough to plot the murder of a king. I think he's just a drunk who is smitten with Sansa, not a co-conspirator. If he was involved in any way it would be more reasonable to believe that he's an unwitting patsy being used by somebody more intelligent in case something went wrong.
No, Joffrey was one of the least interesting characters. He's a cruel bully who abuses his position to prey on everyone below him. He's not nuanced at all like many other characters in the series.
What were ya doing over there in the spoiler threadHe was letting Joffrey make a fool of himself and that wasn't in Tywins interests, which to me is strong evidence he didn't care what Joffrey did because he was going to check out anyway.
Even though the he played a caricature, he played it well. The strong emotions he got from the viewers are a testament to his fine portrayal of an immature, sadistic man-child.Yeah I agree with this. Like I said previously, he was just a caricature. Gleeson was good as the actor, but I really do not think there was much more to be had from the character.

Just as an aside, wondering if there has been a female actor in this show who has not taken her clothes off....
The actress who plays Myrcella made this Vine video, https://vine.co/v/MJp2KxmPei1 I thought that was kind of amusing.
Already discussed about 40 or 50 pages back. I think Syrio is alive too.
Not really, I realize that, but makes about as much sense as some of the flack I'd gotten lately.You must be a little dense. He bumped it so book readers would have a place to talk about it.
Joffrey's little sister.
Just trying to get something straight. Roose Bolton married one of the daughters of the guy who betrayed the Starks because Robb wouldn't marry one of the daughters?
I ask because I am trying to figure out why the guy who cut of Theons manhood called the chubby lady "mother". Was that the daughter Roose married?
Bolton was responsible in part for the events at the wedding, he betrayed Robb. One of the Tully's, Robb's uncle I believe, married the Frey girl, the Frey's were the house that Robb wouldn't marry.
I have no idea who the fat lady was
Roose allied with house Frey and together they plotted the destruction of the Starks and Robb's murder. So Roose married a (fat) Frey to cement to alliance.Just trying to get something straight.

She was the girl sent off to be married right?
Was his wife I believe, Bolton that is, at the red wedding he stated married one of his daughters and made a lot getting "her weight in silver" unless I misremember who was involved for marrying a fat Frey girl.Bolton was responsible in part for the events at the wedding, he betrayed Robb. One of the Tully's, Robb's uncle I believe, married the Frey girl, the Frey's were the house that Robb wouldn't marry.
