Spidey Freak Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I used to respect the Lannisters for their power but they will forever live in shame for their sins (especially the Red Wedding) In the books, the Red Wedding was all Walder Frey though. Still, the Lannisters are screwed up and with the exception of Tyrion and Tywin, not even close to being good at playing the game as they think they do. Cersei and Joffrey's behavior is a shrill scream to everybody else to assassinate them ASAP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztj8Ttr8uj4#t 'the good guys are the Lannisters' they know their stuff!!! That was really enjoyable. Just goes to show how hard it is for people who don't watch it to understand anything about the characters and tone. Lol @ one of the comments saying that people like Jon Snow can turn into direwolves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx93 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 All the time I was a big fan of Dany in Game of Thrones but for some reason I am really starting to like Margaery Tyrell a lot because she can be manipulative but not in a mean way like Cersei but more in a kind and friendly way. That and because she is really hot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Tywin is a master of international and medieval politics, but his failing is his inability to develop a functional family to handle the things he personally can't. He's a guy who spends so much time looking at the big picture he ignores the small cracks in the foundation (Joffrey, Cersei, etc). He seems like a classic INTJ lol Also he fails to see the effects of his actions for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyevenstar22 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) there's this guy on twitter whose handle is king joffrey he had me cracking up reading his tweets , last night ....who knew joffrey would be so much fun now https://twitter.com/King_Joffrey_ is it true jack gleeson is retiring from acting? i just read that on a french site saying he's been working since he's 8 and its not really what he wants to do , surely something got lost in translation i have to say as much glee as i felt during that scene, i have to also congratulate jack on how he played the scene , that was perfect ! it wasnt over the top , it was very realistic , plus it was a nice touch he was with his parents then ...you're only as good an actor as your character is loved or hated and he was someone fans loved to hate and deservedly so! here's an oldie but a goodie gif of one of joffrey's finest moment Edited April 18, 2014 by Lady Daenerys SNOW-STARK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Did the old lady kill Joffrey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Did the old lady kill Joffrey? Essentially yes. In the book it's one of three people who did the actual poisoning: Olenna, Margaery, or Garlan Tyrell (a brother of Margaery cut from the show for some odd reason). In the show, it's either Olenna or Margaery. In either case, Olenna was the Tyrell who put the plan into motion with the assistance of a party whose identity you will learn next episode Also 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom234 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Great wedding though one important question regarding Ramsey he is not a Bolton yet in the show and if he isn't legitimized soon how will they have the winterfell scenes. I need Lord manderly and his pies Edited April 19, 2014 by The Sun's Son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm sure they will get to that when They introduce the "fake Arya" storyline Also you should spoilertag your post since you're talking about Book 5 material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom234 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Ok I hope they keep the line mayhaps this was a blessing. Had he lived he would have grown up to be a Frey needs to be said. Additionally I can't wait for bloodraven though I wonder if they will get into all the blackfyre stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have a feeling they may start laying the foundation for that backstory later this season, but definitely in Season 5, just like they're now talking more about Rhaegar's dead kids.

boomboom234 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 What do you think of Aegon just wondering I have a feeling they may start laying the foundation for that backstory later this season, but definitely in Season 5, just like they're now talking more about Rhaegar's dead kids.

cozmeesah Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Fake Aegon. That's Illyrio's son, I'd bet $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom234 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think fake as well but I hope he is blackfyre/brightflame instead of just illyrio's son. But I like him a lot and the fact that he has already taken storm's end and varys and jon conngton are on his side are also pluses. I think he will take the throne rule for a while than war with dany ultimately losing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 What do you think of Aegon just wondering He's a Blackfyre descended through the female line, son of Illyrio and Serra. I hope very much he is no relation to Aerion Brightflame. Nothing good can come of that. I also like the theory that Varys is Serra's brother, which explains exactly why the one sorcerer wanted to use his genitals in a blood magic routine.

4815162342 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 He will take the throne, but then things will slowly begin to go south for him with things like a greyscale plague. I expect him to still be in charge (even if a bit precariously) when Dany finally arrives, but I'm not even going to attempt a prediction at what happens after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Don't forget there's a thread for that. In the books, the Red Wedding was all Walder Frey though. Still, the Lannisters are screwed up and with the exception of Tyrion and Tywin, not even close to being good at playing the game as they think they do.No, Tywin Lannister was corresponding with Walder Frey and gave his consent to the Red Wedding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yeah. Walder wanted to jump ship but he needed assurances from Tywin that if he massacred/imprisoned Robb and the Northern leadership he would get a pardon + benefits. Roose worked out his own deal with Tywin and was instructed to coordinate with Walder (you can see their early plans to betray Robb as early as the final bits of Book 2, hell Roose was playing kind of a double game from the very start of the war based on how he handled the Battle of the Green Fork).

Lordmandeep Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Freys or no one would ever do such a thing unless they had full assurances. I wonder if it was worth it for the Freys, they are forever known for that now. Anyways I watched Season 3 again and many found the seasons ending scene to not be that special. However I think after the Red Wedding which is likely one of the saddest darkest scenes in recent television they had to end on a positive note. I think Danys character will have a major role in the end. Many of the best scenes in the entire series have to with Dany showcasing her power.
