    If this episode sets the tone and quality for the rest of the season then we are in for quite the treat. That last ten minutes from the ridicule of Tyrion, the look of disgust from Sansa, the attempts of Margery to "calm down" Joffrey and ultimately Joffrey's death were some awesome pieces of television.

    I have never been more gripped and absorbed in a television show in my life and for that alone, take a bow Game of Thrones.

    The fact that Joffrey was going to get poisoned in season 4 had been spoilered to me. However that didn't hide my surprise at the way it was done. Have to give credit to Jack Gleeson as that was a terrific performance and I presume that was him singing in the closing credits?

    Are you serious?
    No it was not Jack Gleeson who sang at the end it was Jonsi Birgisson one of the biggest rock stars on the planet.

    I did say the imgur link has spoilers from this episode, don't read this thread if you haven't seen it yet

    The first image explains the source if the poison. It might be speculation or it might be true, I don't know, but it's definitely not explained in this episode.

    On topic, at what point was Brienn cleared of killing Renley? His supporters wanted her head immediately after he was killed by the smoke demon

    Last week in ep 1. She told Marjorie and the story of the black ghost and Marjorie believed her. And I think Jamie vouched for her as well.

    Frankly, poisoning was too good for the little sh*t! As happy as i am at his passing, the story will miss him.

    In fairness, the guy who sings for sigur ros is not a huge star, they're not really well known, and I thought it was Gleeson singing too. I'm happy his character is dead, just was wishing he had a more painful and dramatic death but I'll take it.

    I think it its Olenna Tyrell who had him poisioned.
    She said to Sansa last episode you she should wear some jewelery .
    Next she meets the former knight who conveniently offers her his family jewel.
    Olenna also said to Sansa earlier this episode to visit High Garden.
    Just before Joffrey kicks the bucket, the old knight shows up telling her she has to leave..

    So do you reckon there's a chance the Tyrells are giving Sansa refuge at High Garden?

    My money is on Margaery ar Olenna Tyrell. But let's face it, he wasn't short of enemies!

    Great death scene too. Well acted by Jack Gleeson :)

    I just watched the last 20min again, Jesus, it's difficult. Margery looks guilty, but so does Stansa. I thought Entourage couldn't be topped, well, the first 5 series, but GoT is truly epic! It's just this week of a wait that's the problem!!

    Remember when Olenna was saying earlier on in the episode "who kills a man at a wedding?" It's surely her doing.

    But surely they'd plan it for after the marriage is consummated no?

    I suspect Cersei, just to stop her wedding going ahead, and to become queen regent.

    Thought it was Jack Gleeson who sang at the end too. Heard of Sigur Ros but never actually listened to them.

    Great episode. I take it next in line is Joffrey's younger siblings making Margaery queen regent until they come of age ?

    In which case it makes Margaery's mother the prime suspect. With Joffrey gone and the Lannister's broke the Tyrell's are in control of the 7 kingdoms.

    Is there any possibility the poison wasn't meant for Joffery?
    If it was the wine, it wasn't taken from Joffery's table so plausibly could've been for someone else?

    Amazing.

    Amazeballs.

    Hope Tywin poisoned the blade of the sword knowing his nutter grandson would lick the blade to show how hard he was. Or knowing that he'd use it to cut the cake and eat the first slice.

    The fecker.

    Going to bed well happy.

    It was stansa, she poisoned the cup when she got it from under the table. I'm guessing.

    So many possibilities. On the sword, on the sword after chopping up Tyrions book, in the cup, in the wine, on the fork or in the pie...

    Excellent episode , Im quessing it was Cersei when she went against the new queens orders and told to give the scraps to the dogs instead of the poor people She knows how much of a monster he is and it would put her back on the throne and she wouldn't have to marry yer man ... oh who knows

    Anyway I'm going to miss Joffery I loved to hate him

    It was his cup I think, the same one he dropped on the ground and made Tyrion pick it up. Watching it back when Joffrey tells Tyrion to "hand me my wine" Margaery points to the cup.

    Are you seriously claiming Entourage is even in the same league as GoT?

    I watched all of Entourage and enjoyed it, but it really is just Sex in the City for lads...
