Red Mosquito

No, they haven't really focused on Joffrey's siblings too much in the series, I don't think it's weird to forget about them at all.

My chest hurt during the whole scene leading up to the end. I am so relieved. I was genuinely afraid he was going to rape Sansa while Tyrion watched in some future episode. Good fucking riddance. I hope I never see Jack Gleeson in real life.

I was waiting for Lloyd Christmas to come in and say "Pills are good. Pills are goooooooddd."

My guess is Sansa did it when she picked up the cup. Clear motive. My question is, was it one with double purpose? Framing Tyrion frees her of that marriage, but I don't believe she hates him enough to see him die for something he didn't do.

wow. did not see that coming at all. i love it!

it has to be the fool, right? haven't seen him in two seasons or something, he shows up last episode and then at this one at the right moment? that was my immediate thought.

it can't be tyrion, no way. sansa, maybe given she did have her hands on the cup, but i think she'd be too wussy to actually go through with it, let alone even know what/where to get poison or whatever this was.

and then cersei was pretty much set up this ep as having all the reason to do it. oberyn has to be considered as well.

man, typing this out like this, i think they did a pretty good job of not giving us a real feel for who did do it. and it's probably none of these. awesome.

I have been thinking the fool as well.

Cersei is interesting. This gives her more influence behind the crown, unless some crazy power move is made, and it gives her a chance to destroy Tryion.

and sigur ros better put out their rains of castamere pronto.

I love how everyone is looking around at each other like "this kid for real?" as Joff is torturing Tyrion

I guess I can't even read mainstream, so called "spoiler free" reviews anymore. I'm pretty sure one reviewer, I can't remember who right now, gave this away last week.

Spoiler: show

They said Oberyn Martell was called the Red Viper due to his skill with poison.

More like "Oh shit, what have we done?"

Whatever website that was, they probably didn't consider it a "spoiler" because it's revealed quite a while before the wedding feast in the books.

What a finish. I didn't know if that was going to happen last night or in next week's episode. I had to record the show & watch it off DVR late as I knew there was no way I would avoid spoilers today.
I have to admit now I'm a little disappointed in myself for cheating & reading ahead. I know who arranged it but I'm going to miss out on all the speculation and likely red herrings until the reveal. There's certainly no shortage of suspects & motives.

Thought they kept all prime suspects from the books open really well.

Easy to do, but glad Gleason got to really star in his last appearance. The only actor that nails their character more is Charles Dance/Tywin.

Cool to see some of Bran's visions come to life.

Ramsay and Roose together was just gold and that was quite a hunt to start the show.

It's out there somewhere; I found it on a torrent site, so I imagine it was either ripped from a recording of the show or it's out on iTunes or something.

Wish they could've worked in that the band came from Ibben.

I think it was Sanza, but it's hard to see her having the balls to do it by herself. Either someone coached and helped her, or she's actually finally reached the limits of her desperation and is almost a new person. I'd say it could be the new bride, but killing the king before she has a son basically makes her powerless again, no? Unless she's going to try to keep the throne for herself and away from the next little Lannaster, leveraging her popularity with the regular people. Danaerys is really more of the democratic queen, though.
I'm interested to see who has more power with this next king, Cersei or Tywin?

Nothing of the nod from Loras Tyrell to Oberyn Martell, or is that too obvious?
