Even though many people did want Geoffrey dead, nobody would have really gained anything from his death. Geoffrey has another brother, the throne will be passed on to him.
The Tyrell did not have any incentive to kill Geoffrey. Margaery is already queen and without a son the Tyrells won't have any right to the throne.
The only incentive for anyone killing Geoffrey I can see is revenge. That would leave us with Oberyn Martell and Sansa.

I was spoilered to Joffrey dying so I knew this was eventually going to come, but near the fucking end of the season. Not the god damn second episode, during the fucking wedding. I mean theres no way for Tyrion to be blamed for his death. Who knew he was going to be forced to be cup bearer and give him the cup that poisons him, it was Margery's cup anyway he grabbed at I believe.
It's gotta be the grandma, Sansa (she finally got some gump), Tywin, or Cersei who did it. So I doubt it was cersei as he was her son and she still loves him even though he's a dick. I think it might be the grandma or that one dude (the new gay/bisexual guy who said the lanisters aren't the only ones who pay their debts). I doubt sansa no way in hell she'd have the guts for that and I don't see how she could have either xD. Yeah, no way it was Cersei, she's not that good at acting ;p If it was Sansa that would go against everything. I feel like it has to be someone who was up close, and there were a lot of shots of the Grandma. She seems very devious too. It could be Tywin, but I think Tywin has a lot of family pride, even though they are a bunch of idiots a lot of the time. I mean I dunno, maybe Tywin thinks it'll be easier to rule with the other son because he will be more relaxed? Maybe he doesn't trust the Tyrell's. Going to be a good next episode! Re-watch the scene when Lady Olenna talks to Sansa. It looks like she grabs something off her necklace. Edit: Just watched it again and there is clearly a pearl of some sort missing at the end of it. nice catch.

Hard to say. He did drink the wine last, but you can't draw a conclusion from that because he drank that same wine moments earlier. And it's hard to believe for poison to act that fast. But poisoning the cake is probably risky because I assume the cake is meant to be eaten by multiple people.

I still can't see why she'd want to poison Joffrey though.
|
Perhaps she feared that Joffrey would hurt Margaery at some point? Also, she made Sansa tell her the truth about how Joffrey is a monster and that probably set the ball rolling
|
As a book reader I was waiting for everyone to be as jolly as me when this happened.
gg no re Joffrey.
|
This is gonna be the same as Jon Arryn's death - no one will ever know who did it.
|
My favorite part of this episode actually was the little conversation between Oberyn and Cersei/Tywin, that passive-aggressive behavior <3
|
Too scared to go and revisit some scenes, soundtrack, montages in youtube
Fucking spoilers, they are everywhere.

Interesting! So the idea is that Sansa was carrying the poison and grandma comes over to pick it up? However, if you watch the scene before the pie comes, Margaery is putting the glass back on the king's table. Olenna Tyrellis is sitting on a separate table like 3m away from the glass. There's no way she could have put the poison in the glass without anyone noticing.
To add to that, why on earth would Sansa provide the poison and why would they exchange it in the most dangerous situation possible?

Well I was spoilered about this from Twitch chat while watching dota lol.
The fucker said a couple of more things that i will pretend that I never read in the first place.

I dont think any of the above 3 is absolutely clear.

On a personal note, the (purple) wedding was really well done. I was a bit afraid they will dumb it down, and stick the answers into the viewers face, but they didnt, and i approve very much. Although iirc, in this season GRRM took up this episode, so not that surprising if so.
|
that face is legit disgusting

What about when cersei is talking to the grand measter picell. "Deliver the food to the kennels, THE QUEEN said so". And then after the banter about her being former queen regent...maybe. Dunno how that helps the family though

For me, 'blind accusations' is a sign of a sub-par drama: If the person is not presented as a total tool, it is out of character most of the time, especially when all other characters go along with it. It is hard to care for such conflicts, because they feel artificial right away.

Regardless, if we're talking about conflict and story-telling, think of this as a necessary plot-twist, to blow the game of thrones right open. Lannisters+Tyrells united and stable >>> anyone. Now things can get spicy, and pretty much any 1 big player can make a move.

As if Tywin would let anything happen to Tyrion on Cercei's orders lol.
Itll be fun to see the younger brother take the seat as king now

Sansa is very suspect.
During the play, the camera showed Sansa feeling great pain from the memories of Ned's death.
When Joffrey kicked the goblet under the table, it would have been the perfect chance for her to slip the poison in.
After Joffrey drinks from the cup, Sansa asks Tyrion if they could leave. When stopped by Joffrey, she looks concerned knowing what is about to unfold.
Edit: Margaery has her hand above the goblet before Tyrion hands it to Joffrey before he chokes. Nevermind, that was a different cup.

To add to that, why on earth would Sansa provide the poison and why would they exchange it in the most dangerous situation possible? Sansa was wearing the necklace the former-knight/jester gave her in the last episode when he followed her. The one she promised not to take off or whatever. The jester is also the guy who tells her if she wants to live she should come with him. So she was used as a weapons delivery system.
Why would the Tyrells want to kill Joffrey? Because there is a second son who isnt a total psychopath, who is even easier to control for Margery if she lives with him from a young age -- hes what, like 10-12 looking? And since this is a political wedding the Lannisters have to give the Tyrells a new king or else the Tyrells will just withdraw support and now its again a pretty divided realm, especially after Lannister/Kingdom had to spend so much money on a wedding -- both Tywin and Tyrion made a point of how expensive is. Makes me think it wasnt some propaganda tool but a way to make the monarchy/lannisters even weaker compared to the tyrells.

I agree, she would also have a good emotional reason to do it at the marriage. It was her who should have gotten married to Geoffrey after all.
