My theory is that his mum did him in. Poison is her weapon of choice and she was clearly not relishing giving up power. He might have been married but it wasn't consummated so I guess that still makes her Queen.

I am betting on it being Jamie (Am I right in thinking he doesn't know Joffrey was his?) with his thinking being with Joffrey dead, Cersei wouldn't be forced to marry Loras Tyrell. (Plus Joffrey seemed to piss him off when they was looking at the book of former Kings guards.)

Annoyed with the amount of spoilers going round. I don't normally moan about them but it wasn't just out of excitement and not thinking but people seeminly doing it delibrately just to fuck people off (Also got caught out by Frankie Boyle's tweet, so the whole time I was was waiting for Tyrion to knife Joffrey during the wedding which did ruin it a tad.)

That said thought it was a brilliant episode, Tyrion and Joffrey's scene before he kicked the bucket was excellent. Would have been thrilling to watch had I not known! Tyrion is just brilliant!

No, Jaime is well aware that the kids are his. Although he probably does think he's a dicksplash along with everyone else.

Fair enough. Feel free to downvote to your hearts content.

Don't be so sensitive. An arbitrary number allegedly representing your reputation on this site being decreased by a value of one is no reason to turn to insults.

Wilko's stopped acting now, had to give up for an injury. Was meant to be him fighting with Jaime in last night's episode as he has no tongue to tell anyone.

Was it me or was Bran looking really old last night - seems to have grown up too quick for the character.

Yeah definitely noticed that. Always going to be an issue with some teenage actors I guess.

can the book readers say which TV characters are the best, in terms of how they meet your expectations compared with the book version?

are any of them really really awful?

I read online someone saying The Hound was a bit crap compared to the book. Which was a bit strange, as I love him the most.

Just seen this thread. Loved last night's episode. I've read the books and I think they portrayed the death very well to be honest. Not completely in line with how George Martin did it but hey, adapting it to the screen is not necessarily a bad thing. :)

Very much looking forward to next monday now! :D

George Martin wrote the latest episode. I really need to get the books eventually. Been saying it for ages though.

Err, no thank you. I dont want any indication of where anyone is going in terms of their profile, which will obviously skew a book readers opinion of an actors embracing of the role.

Glad I made the decision to unfollow Frankie Boyle at the weekend. Purely because Thrones is currently on. He posted a spoiler last year of an event which hasn't even happened yet. He will get a follow again once the season finishes.

I mentioned this on page 1, but the one I saw was the Joffrey spoiler, I know nothing else. But why would you re-follow the c**t? He can still post spoilers of stuff that is in future series. I have a severe dislike for the c**t now.

How would saying 'the hound is much more full of rage in the book' give any hint of a spoiler??

I just think if someone said "diana rigg hasn't really shown her true colours yet" or similar, it could deffo be a spoiler. I dont want to know anything about the books at all.

I might have come across a bit arsey, didnt mean to.

:)

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
