Again, Shae's scenes are so frustrating as she's stubborn to the point of not being able to pick up on any subtleties or subtext.
Shae, who not only can't take a hint but also doesn't realize when someone's acting like they don't care. Game of Thrones: Joffrey's 5 Worst ActsAlso, still sticking with King's Landing before I head off to Dragonstone and the Dreadfort, Tyrion had to give Shae the boot for her own safety. But hell, I'm sure an entire feature could be written about all the times that little monster fooled us into thinking that he possibly maybe could have matured out of his jerkwad stage, only to immediately do something ultra-despicable right afterwards. For a moment though, Joffrey looked as though he might be willing to play nice in public, giving Tyrion a decent "thank you" speech for the book. Tyrion had gifted Joffrey with a book called The Lives of Four Kings and then Joffrey swiftly destroyed it with his new sword of Valyrian steel.
This being Westeros and all though, I'm sure "reasonable doubt" won't enter the picture.Įarlier on in the episode, the seeds were planted once again for a Joffrey/Tyrion showdown. And while it looks like Tyrion's about to be done up with extreme counts of treason and regicide, any good defense attorney could clearly state that Joffrey made Tyrion pour him wine from his own table. We can all wonder whether or not Joffrey was poisoned (mayhaps he choked on his own douche juices), though Dontos spiriting away with Sansa surely suggests foul play. Minutes earlier, she'd been one of the folks taking offense to the dwarf display and now she was worried about Margaery's standing. Because she knew what side her bread was buttered on. I did like how Olenna cried out for someone to help Joffrey when he was choking though. Gwendoline Christie Talks Brienne in Season 4And in the midst of all this "revelry," was Joffrey - drawing everyone's ire with a foolish display of little people reenacting the War of the Five Kings.

It's worth noting too that the series has landed down firmly on the "Brienne secretly loves Jaime" side of the fence, which weakens her character if you ask me. She even decided to bust Brienne's chops over Jaime - a man she no longer even seems to be interested in herself. Cersei seemed to be the the eye of the storm here, getting more and more annoyed with everyone as she came to terms with no longer being Queen. In fact, everyone seemed to be in a foul mood in general, as we saw several character interactions at the reception that ranged from passive aggressive (Oberyn with Tywin and Cersei) to bitter (Jaime and Loras) to openly hostile (Cersei with Pycelle). "I now pronounce you King and Queen A-Hole." But the episode had definitely done its work and showed us how Joffrey was literally surrounded by dozens of people, from different houses all over Westeros, who hated his guts. Though Tyrion also probably hadn't had enough wine to truly lose his senses. Was Tyrion going to snap? Someone had to. It just might not have been clear what that moment was going to be. Because those final minutes featuring Joffrey pouring wine on Tyrion's head, and then humiliating him by making him cupbearer (a s***bird to the very end!), were definitely leading toward a big moment. Because for those of you who didn't read the books and didn't know Joffrey was going to die, I feel like you must have known something was going to happen. I'll bring up Martin a bit later on in the review, but this episode was the great example of a source author being brought in to, all at once, replicate, rework, and re-envision their original story. It's also worth mentioning that Martin himself wrote this particular episode - "The Lion and the Rose" - and in doing so got to bring Joffrey's death to life - as close as he could to how he once envisioned it in A Storm of Swords. And for this brief moment, Martin comes off as an equal opportunity smiter. As it turns out, the person we hated the most on this series was also on the murder menu. Martin still insists on ending each wedding we see with a gruesome death (or twelve), he's willing to make some concessions. I'll take that over a quicker death via dagger or sword any day.

But there's also something to be said for spending a full minute in agony, choking to death in front of hundreds of people, eyes bulging and blood oozing from your nose. So long, d***face! Sure, it might have been more gratifying to see King Joffrey meet his end at the actual hands of someone who hated him, with him seeing the face of his attacker and knowing why he was being killed - like with Arya and Polliver back in the season premiere.
