Didn't see it, but I'm assuming the Red Wedding happened...am I right? Yep. If that wasn't a red wedding then I don't know what is.

OMFG! So glad I have avoided the books. I was really close to listening to the audiobooks when things were really slow at my job before they laid us all off....thank god I chose to listen to the Thrawn books instead. Completely fucking insane. Damn you George RR Martin!!! Damn you to hell!!!

You mean you missed the part in the second Thrawn book where pregnant Leia gets stabbed repeatedly in the stomach and Han is shot full of laser blasts and then stabbed in the heart? And then just for the hell of it they kill Mara too?

Cool, but you should've changed the swords to lightsabers and the crow to Salacious Crumb.

********SPOILERS*************** Season 4 premiere recap: -Arya's a monster and I freaking love it! -A scene I actually liked Sansa in, maybe they'll turn her character around yet. -Jon Snow picked up that Wildling accent fast, I hope he was just being sarcastic. Probably, but either way, I'm glad he's finally graduated to full badass. -Jaime Lannister is one of the most interesting characters, out of everyone he's done some of the most unforgivable things but since he has no illusions about it, and is so straightforward and honest about everything in general, he manages to be highly likeable anyway. -Tyrion is still the highlight, just awesome every second he's on-screen. -The dragons are looking cool now that they're bigger, I hadn't considered them not being obedient but that makes sense. Ofcourse, everything Mormont tells Daenerys is proved wrong at some point, so we'll see. **********SPOILERS************

This is the best show on TV that isn't set in an ad agency in the 1960s. So yeah, second-best show on the air right now. And this was a really good premiere, even though it could've been better with a little check-in on Theon. That poor bastard gets his dick cut off AND he gets left out of the premiere? No fair. And once again, Arya steals the episode with her adorable badassery. She and Clegane should get a spinoff called "The Hound and The Needle" where they roam the countryside exacting bloody revenge for hire. I'd watch the shit out of that show.

Her performance was really impressive, the excitement in her eyes as The Hound proclaimed someone was gonna die for some motherfucking chicken, just perfect, even when she wasn't the primary focus of the shot. And that smile on her face at the end put most revenge flicks to shame in its revelling in the satisfaction of it all.
The lack of Theon was a good thing in my eyes, he has no redeeming qualities and should just die already. But I guess he has to redeem himself now that he's lost his cockles.

Theon became much more interesting once his half-assed power-play blew up in his face. Brutal torture and emasculation is some hardcore character development, but it worked. Now I want to see the poor bastard get a win even though I'm 99% sure it'll only get worse from here. The same thing happened with Jaime in season 2 & 3, where I found myself rooting for him without even realizing it.

Yay, I'm so glad he's fucking dead. Great buildup, seriously, that was a greater personification of "had it coming" than the Anchorman 2 RV scene lol. And hanging on the shot of his dead stupid face for so long was a beautiful touch. Fuck that motherfucker. But, despite all of that amazing wish fulfillment, I still have to complain that Theon and Bran's stories are supremely uninteresting compared to everything else. Waiting for next week's episode is gonna seem even longer than usual.

Unfortunately, I had the whole purple wedding thing spoiled for me last week. Had it coming is a bit of an understatement. I gotta give that kid credit he did a hell of job making Joffrey one of the most hated characters in TV history.

Great, great episode. I cheered at the end. I'm glad that little shitbag is dead, but now I'm not sure who I hate the most on this show. Cersei's move over the leftovers was seriously cunty, so probably her. And Ramsay Snow has it coming too, as does The Mountain, Tywin Lannister (even though he's way too cool to kill), Walder Frey, Roose Bolton, Pointy-Beard, and probably lots more I'm forgetting. Other observations: - It was funny to finally see Roose Bolton's fat Frey wife. - The bit of misdirection they pulled off making us think Shae would get killed before the wedding was a stroke of genius. I was sure her arrow-riddled corpse was gonna come out of that big lion's head. - Sansa, who had more reason than anyone at that wedding to hate Joffrey, handed Tyrion the empty cup right before the poisoning. Hmmm.... Unless it was the pie that was poisoned and not the wine, but it would make more sense to put the poison in Joffrey's cup than it would in the pie that everyone would eat. Still, I think Sansa was in on the plot with someone else. It's about time that girl actually did something besides cry. - Poor, pathetic Theon. - This episode needed more Arya, more Danaerys, and more sexy, sexy Ygritte. Maybe next week will be Ladies Night.

I think the pie was poisoned, there was a shot of the pie after Joffrey chopped it where you could see some red.

They showed dead doves in the pie that he killed when he sliced it with his sword, I'm guessing they ate around it? lol, I dunno. I think the shot was more intended to give us yet another reason to hate him. But it's still possible.
The questions I've been wondering are: Was the jester in on it or just being protective of Sansa? Was the new Queen's grandmother behind it? the cup was in front of her and she gave Tyrion a strange look beforehand, though she could have just been communicating that she admired him for putting up with the torment. And it seems doubtful after the effort she put into the wedding. I'm not sure, it seemed almost too random to be orchestrated, if it was the wine. Now the pie is making more sense, I guess the big question is did they show anyone else eat any?

Putting the poison in Joffrey's empty cup makes the most sense. I'll need to watch the scene again and watch the cup carefully and see if someone other than Sansa had it for a few seconds. Tyrion looked genuinely shocked so I doubt it was him. And were either of the shady behind-the-scenes dudes, Varys and Littlefinger, at the wedding?
I could just use Google and find out who did it, but that's no fun.

I feel like it was the Grandmother or Oberyn. The best part of his death for me was the fact the Cersei got see it first hand. She was having an especially bitchy day and it was nice to see her eat it for change. Its hard to believe that I liked her so much on the Sarah Connor Chronicles. It was kind of funny that her and Jamie were the only ones that ran to help him. Even his new wife just stood there.

I hadn't considered Sansa. Her reactions didn't seem any different than usual so I'm doubtful, but she did ask to leave early and the jester came to help her escape immediately so it could be. Oberyn almost seems too obvious.

Come to think of it, it was probably the pie that was poisoned and not the wine. King Cockhole didn't ask for the wine until he started choking on the pie, so that was probably it. Which means it was poisoned by someone who didn't care who else ate the pie, and who wasn't at the wedding. I'm thinking either Varys (was he there?) or Littlefinger (definitely not there).
Oberyn would rather kill Tywin than Joffrey, so it's probably not him. And having the brand-new character be the culprit isn't very good storytelling.

Having finished book 3 recently, it's very amusing to read these theories.
