Game of Thrones Season Four (TV Show Only-- no book spoilers, please!)

Note to self:

Never trust a wedding on Game of Thrones!  Did not see that coming!

it's been nicknamed the purple wedding

I intially thought the same but having some time to ponder it I kind of feel the Lannisters will figure out it was the cake.  If it was the cake, my guess.  My dark horse is Cersei did it but my front runner is Sansa.  The way she tried to get Tyrion to leave early and then she was wisked away.  Although it just seems to obvious.

I thought the future queen (can't remember her name) said something to the effect of all this was going to mine! So I am guessing it styas in the Lannisters????

That was pretty shocking.  I honestly didn't think he would go that...  easily?  I figured he would go out whimpering or humiliated or some kind of payback for all the torture he inflicted on people...  Nope, just gone.

The wife and I have been going over all the suspects.  Honestly?  It's EVERYONE save maybe Cersie...  The new guy this season who sort of vowed to get revenge on the Lannisters?  I don't think it was Sansa or Tyrion...  They didn't like him, but they also trended to put up with him.

It's also who had access to the cup.  The new queen had access and motive.  But that seems awfully quick on the draw.  Tywin for some reason?  KNEW that he wasn't the true heir and also an embarrassment to the Lannister family?

The knight that Sansa saved Joffry's name sake day?  He was VERY quick to get her out of there - as if he know what was going down.

I sort of want start reading the books again to find out who!  I'm only through the second.

BTW, didn't Joffry have a little brother?  Wouldn't that be the next king?  In the clip, I though the new queen said something like "this was all SOPPOSED to be mine".  Maybe she's out now?

Just to add to the "who dunnit" speculation, the new queen did not eat any of the pie and it seemed almost purposeful the way she fed it to him but didn't take any bites herself. Or maybe it was a plot by grandpa Lannister and the queen's grandmother... they did have that private conversation and food was part of the subject: give a way to off the reckless and embarrassing boy king. 

I agree. Margery could have done it, I think Sansa is a good candidate too. I do not think Tyrion did it.  Despite his sparring with Joffery he was still all about family.  I read an interesting article in which they interviewed the actor who played Joffery. Apparently he read the books after he got the part and has known all along he would die.  He is also giving up acting. 

I assume it CAN'T be Tyrion since that's SO obvious.  Plus you get the whole wrongly imprisoned story line.  For all of these "who done it" or murder mystery stories, I weed out the obvious, and start looking at out of the blue people.  I wouldn't be shocked if Cersie or Jamie did it.  If you don't suspect or even think of them?  They probably did it and you would be right 90% of the time. 

UNLESS, they do the whole "innocent gets wrongly accused and imprisoned, spend a season to convince everyone that he is innocent (including the audience) just to do a flashback after he is vindicated reveal that he DID do it"...  ala Primal Fear...  the old double switcheroo...

It's also a statement to do it at the wedding, in front of everyone.  Maybe the author took that into consideration, maybe not.  But who would want a public scandal and the Lannisters torn apart?  (again, maybe everyone)...

I would think Margery could have planned something more discrete?

I still like my chance with my dark horse for who did it, Cersei!

There does seem to be mixed feelings on how he was poisined with some here saying wine - some cake?

I think it was the cake, he seemed to have a reaction shortly after taking a bite.

Subject to the decisions makers behind the show pulling a fast one, what happened at the purple wedding is following fairly closely to how it happened in the books. I think this was the GRRM written episode for this season, if that matters about whether there is likely to be an major departures from what he wrote in the books.

Don't worry, not going to post any spoilers, but a good portion of the "whodunit" was subtly shown in 4.1 and 4.2 if you watched (or rewatched) close enough. 

hell, i read the books and can't remember who dunnit!   feels lke I read them years ago... wait,  it was!

eta - ah, wiki solves all! 

You notice anything else she did?
