I don't remember what she said but I remember right when Joffrey started choking, she said something that was off-kilter. | ||

I don't see one for this (currently), but care. Also, I would argue that it's much more Zoroastrian, which is where the Abrahamic religions and Manchiaeism derives its moral dualism between good and evil; a god of good and creation in an eternal struggle against an anti-thesis god of evil, with humanity playing an active role in the struggle. Heck, Zoroastrians have fire temples as their place of worship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism Trust me, I am the first to say that Zoroastrians get short shrift. But Manicaeism is heavily Zoroastrian based (light/fire imagery for good, for example), but chiefly differ in their evaluation of the created order. Zoroastrians consider the created order to be the creation of God, while the chaos is the desire of the devil-figure. (The language God/devil is the best available, but must be freed of the Christian understanding of God being omnipotent). Manichees, on the other hand, believe the created world to be an evil, and see a higher, spritual plane as the desirable state. Note the parallel to the basic disagreement between the religions considered "Western" (Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism) and those considered "Eastern" (Buddhism, Hinduism) regarding whether the world is basically good or basically evil. Edit: Just watched the video. Is that kosher to post? A lot of information not in the series so far about Thoros. | ||

No it's not? Today is Wednesday, and it airs on Sunday (in the US) 4.5 hours from now. That's 4 days 4.5 hours. | ||

Also, I concede the point. The metaphysical aspect fits better for manchieasm. | ||

He even let baby Tyrion live just because he was a Lannister, while he really wanted to drown him in the sea. | ||

Joffrey may not necessarily be for the good of the family, he was getting harder to control by the day and Margaery was clearly gaining influence over him. | ||

That would be amazingly far out of character for Tywin. He does everything for his family, even if they are jerks or oppose him. He wouldn't poison the child of his daughter (and son). Like the commenter above said, he even didn't kill Tyrion, even though tyrion indirectly killed his wife by birth, and was born a dwarf. Tyrion is probably the person Tywin hates most in the entire world, and he still doesn't kill him because he's family. | ||

Tyrion is probably the person Tywin hates most in the entire world, and he still doesn't kill him because he's family. Tyrion was born a dwarf and indirectly killed his mother. Both things he was entirely irresponsible for. He has undertaken many things for the lannister family and does his duty in the name of it, he brings no shame or threat to the family whatsoever, he is, by all aspects, a loyal lannister. The only thing he's guilty of is liking whores, which all of westeros seems to partake in. What exactly would make it out of character for tywin to kill joffrey, the little prick who risks losing the entirety of the lannisters power, brings shame with his actions and is entirely bloodthirsty and near-impossible to control, causing exponential risk to the family and its name. Why in the world are these two things comparable? | ||

Why in the world are these two things comparable? Don't know about that, we saw right from the start of S1 that he has a reputation as a whoring drunkard. Not the most honorable appearance at all. Tywin brings it back up in S3 when Tyrion asks for his position of inheritance. | ||

I mean circumstances are very different from Robb here: Most of Joffreys presumed killers should have a much easier time killing him at some other point (While Robb was out of reach for his enemies until he entered the Frey castle). Is this not only a murder, but also message at the same time? A public death makes it easier to manipulate the witnesses as to who the real culprit is. Thats why Sansa and the Fool skedaddled asap, even though they may have nothing to do with it. They had to avoid on-the-scene accusations so people dont start jumping the blame-wagon. Point in case, look at Cersei and Tyrion. She calls him out in front of everyone after Joffrey points at him, what do you think the witnesses will think after seeing that? | ||

That Joffrey was pointing at the realm's new king and that Cercei wanted him smexy for the ceremony, obviously. | ||

His one son gets accused of the murder, his other son gets accused of failing to protect his king as the bodyguard commander, his daughter probably goes crazymode. | ||
