Phil Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 The whodunnit shouldn't be that hard, I think. There are but a few options, but I'm pretty sure Cersei pointed out the wrong one. ;) It was yet another glorious episode. Not just because of what happened, but because so much was going on. I saw some people complaining Tyrion was mean to Shae, but I can't be alone in thinking he was solely mean for her own good, because without it she would've never left him? He had to hurt her feelings and scare her off for her own good. An interesting point was made in WaPo's great weekly recap of the episode: why did Joffrey claim he took Ned Stark's head when he didn't? All in all, I'm going to miss hating him, but boy, did he have it coming. Technically it was Ser Ilyn Payne who took his head, but it was at Joffrey's command.

Jules Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Technically it was Ser Ilyn Payne who took his head, but it was at Joffrey's command. Yeah, so how would Joffrey know that every kill would feel like Ned Stark's, when that wasn't kill? An odd quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What does this mean? I'm assuming you're posting on a phone or tablet Only "his" was missing, it wasn't "his kill." He says the sword and the name will feel like killing Ned Stark every time he kills, but he didn't kill Ned Stark and would only have the memory of ordering Sir Payne to do it and that's not quite the same. I guess it could just be playing off Joffrey's continuous faking of hardship in battle, but it was an odd moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he gave the command, and he's a coward who takes credit for things he really didn't do, like "winning the war", and "protecting the city" when he ran off to hide behind mommy's skirt, leaving Tyrion to do his dirty work.

H-Dreamer Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Some reactions from Youtube, not as good as the Red Wedding ones, but some are rather hilarious. Here's to Joffrey of the House Baratheon, first of his name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm- May he rot in whatever hell he's in. But we will never hate a GoT character like him and it still will leave a hole I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Now that he's finally dead, gotta stop for a second and give props to the actual actor that played him. He made the whole world hate him with a burning passion, and that takes skill. Even though I hate his face, mainly due to this role, I hope he goes on to have a successful career because he's very talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quitting acting, though. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/king-joffrey-jack-gleeson-retires-from-acting-after-game-of-thrones-season-4-9258777.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Which is not totally true I believe. I remember seeing a Q&A with him at an irish University on Youtube, were he heavily promoted a small theater production he and some friends were doing. So on small scale he might continue acting. Overall he said the same as stated in the article, he felt that acting for a living was taking the fun of it. Could still see him coming back in a few years, after he realised that most careers aren't that fun, if you have to do them for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theater acting is a little different, as well — it certainly doesn't carry the same "weight" in the celebrity sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I watched Batman Begins again a year or so ago, I yelled, "NO, KILL HIM BATMAN!" when I noticed his quick scene. He made me hate his fucking face in such a beautiful way from an acting standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered reading that it just goes to the next male in line even if it is not a direct descendant. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Edit: On a side note, I to my surprise learned yesterday that Peter Dinklage is in Hamburg right now. He's shooting his new movie "Taxi". (Based on a novel by a german author of books for woman. :D) Too bad that I can't find put where they are shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I just clicked on an innocent Buzzfeed article about "see the GoT actors out of character and being normal" and ended up with a picture that, not until I had scrolled along, clicked as being a massive spoiler, because those two actors have not had a scene together yet and they were both in their full attire for the show. LOL. Fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
