Game of Thrones

I think Oberon is a candidate but the Tyrell's have the most to gain right, she is the new king.

 

Yea I was thinking that it most likely is the grandma (that broad knows how to play all sides) but it got me thinking a few weeks ago. If Joffrey dies, who then becomes the new king. Is the new wife in charge of all the lands now or does it go to the next man in charge which would be the brother of Joffrey's dad who technically is the rightfull king anyway? Or wait, if it goes brothers then does that mean Jamie is the new king?

 

Those that want to answer, make sure you don't give anything away from the books.

Also, I definitely meant queen, lol.

I think it goes to Hand of the King, TF.

Isn't that what happened when Robert died and Ned took over only to have the Lannisters say treason to have him removed and make sure Joffery took over.

[TobiasFunke]

Ooohhh schnap. I think you're right Brandon. Shit, then I wouldn't put it past the grandpa who is Hand of the King to kill Joffrey since he's been shitting on the Lannister's name ever since he became king. Now he would be king right? Daaaaaang

[Chimi]

I won't give spoilers on who the next in line for King is but it's pretty easy to figure out.

And the reason Ned took over was because he found out that Joffrey probably wasn't King Roberts son and he was trying to say he wasn't the rightful King. It's also why Joffrey had all his dads bastards killed. I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Ned was trying to get Stannis to be King.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Correct - Ned wanted nothing to do with being the hand to the king let alone the king but he wanted the rightful heir to the throne to take the crown and not inbred Lannister children.

Can't believe Cersei was in cahoots with Littlefinger and Lady Stoneheart to kill off Joffrey.  

 

WOW

Nice troll comment

[Brandon]

Should be interesting. I just read interviews with the author and he touches on what lies ahead (although with the premise that he still has two books to write so everything can change) and namely the killer(s)......it was touched on but he left it really open because he still has to write the new books.

 

Last nights episode made watching Mad Men seriously be a tough task.

[Slegnaac]

Seems that the King's brother would be next in line. But the hand of the king would be the regent until he comes of age.

The season tag line is"All men must die"

So then technically, still the rightful King is the bastard son that was friends with the young Stark daughter? After he boned the red witch, what ever happened to that guy?

He got sent back to King's Landing in a rowboat by Ser Davos.

DW, I couldn't agree more with you. I'm going to miss the hell out of Joffrey and wish he wasn't dead.

 

When the dwarfs were doing their performance I thought Sansa's head was going to explode like the dude from Scanners.

 

 

So who does everyone think did the job? The easy answer would be the Spanish guy, whatever his name is. But I'm thinking that's too easy to think that and it's someone that we don't even expect. I also am hoping Jamie breaks Tyrion out of prison or something along the lines of that. I MUST HAVE MY TYRION!

 

 

I'm not a DIE HARD fan, but there were about 30 people in the last scene who could have wanted him dead.

 

I'll go with Sansa, but only cause that one guy who wanted her to leave put her up to it or at least encouraged her. If someone has his name, I'd appreciate it!

 

Was Joffrey the only one drinking wine, though? No one else got poisoned?

 

Might be worth re-watching.

[TobiasFunke]

Oh yea you're right, I remember now. Thanks man.

[Chimi]

The guy that Sansa left with was Ser Dontos, Joffrey's drunk fool.

I think the bastard Baratheon son is running around with Tyerion and Loras...at least that dude that named the flags/banners last week and was seen with them again this week is that dude.

[Chimi]

The guy you're thinking of is Tyrion's squire, Podrick.

[Brandon]

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

Same bowl haircut.

[TobiasFunke]

I just read an article (stupidly) that said who the killer is. I'm kinda mad that I read it but not really.

[Brandon]

Was it the Rolling Stone one with the author?

[HaloMilliVanilli]

If the hand of the King is the successor (Jamie), then maybe Tywin Lannister had a hand in the plot.  Can't imagine that he enjoyed Joffrey's shenanighans and would probably prefer Jamie sitting on the throne temporarily.

[Chimi]

Tywin is the Hand of the King, not Jamie.  Jamie is just a Kingsguard.  Tywin has no interest in being the King.  Only reason he is there in King's Landing is because there was no way he was going to let his family's name be humiliated if Joffrey lost the battle with Stannis. 

 

Like Tywin said last season, "You really think a crown gives you power?"

Word is the creators are deep in discussion for a movie. Not sure how that would work, but they said discussions are very real.

Naw it was from Kotaku.com
