Tyrion learned later on, during a conversation with Cersei, that it was actually Joffrey who ordered the kingsguard to kill Tyrion.

edit: that scene is actually from before the siege. When was this scene your talking about because I dont remember it Oo

There's an implied scene iirc where he's accusing Cersei, she says something about how she's not stupid enough to do it in the way that happened, and it clicks in his head that there's only one people that is that stupid.

Yeah looking it up and found the scene in question. He mentions it has to be her or Joffrey, since no one else commands the Kingsguard, and strait up asks her to which she does not reply. I dont know, both have more then enough reason to do it but in my mind Cersei is still the one. To me Joffrey is the kind of person who would simply order his execution if he wanted him dead. And yes Cersei would be stupid enough to do it that way, after all she send an assassin after Brann back in season 1 with Tyrion's dagger.

Umm...I'm pretty sure it was Joffrey that sent that assassin as well.

According to the wiki the show never revealed who sent the assassin, I don't know if we're meant to draw our own conclusions or they figured it was too long ago to resolve.
Edit: checked my statement against show wiki.

Okay, yeah, the series basically leaves that a complete loose end, which is odd.
Still no reason to believe Cersei would be that stupid to give such a blatantly opulent dagger to an assassin, plenty of reason to believe Joffrey would.
Either way, it wasn't Tyrion's dagger, unless you believe Littlefinger's story. And if you're believing Littlefinger, you've probably lost your head already.

Loose end, with strong implication of Cersei/Jaime guilt... just like the murder of Jon Arryn (dun, dun duuuuun!)

i just can't believe how i went from liking theon, to hating theon, to pitying him, to feeling bad for him. during that last scene with sansa they just zoom into theon who is crying and twitching and is such a broken person. that slow close up of him deserves awards

People are really still talking about the 'rape' scene -____-. Sansa willingly married him, Littlefinger left the choice up to her, he basically told her that she can take charge and start playing the game or they can turn right the fuck around (she can marry Ramsey or he will have her sent back to the Veil), he did push the marriage because Sansa seems to be key to his plan for the North but he ultimately left the decision to her. She chose to marry Ramsey, she the character and we the audience already knew that weddings = consummations. Was it a pleasant scene, no, but this is GoT, it is to be expected. People trying to make this a controversy where there isn't one just to further some hot topic issue of the day is annoying.
Anyways, what I expect to happen in the show now: *Olena is going to free her grandchildren. *Sparrows are going to turn on Cercie. *Jorah and tyrion will go to the fighting pits and eventually meet Dany (about damn time). *Not sure how the current Jamie and Bronn situation will be resolved as far as the daughter goes, but either way I think the current prince/king is going to send them back to King's Landing (with or without Marcella, I personally think without but can see it going either way. *Stannis is going to wreck the boltons, Littlefinger will try to get in with Stannis (he wont attack Stannis even if Stannis wins and is weak imo, Lannister alliance is becoming more and more useless). *Jon snow goes to wherever it is hes going, conflict and fighting happens, he wins, makes arrangement with the wildlings.
Think thats pretty much the main things I expect to happen in the next epidose or two, at least I hope so so that we dont end the season with any of those situations being the point they leave us at. All those points seem easy enough to assess the outcomes, I imagine at the season end all the factions will be quite splintered and no one will really be in a great position and thats where the show will leave us for now. Tyrells will have completely cut all Lannister ties and will retreat to Highgarden. Lannister situation will be worse than it already is, whether or not Tommen will still sit on the throne I don't know, but if hes gotten rid of I don't imagine a new king will be named yet. Stannis will win vs the boltons I think, but will probably be weakened to the point where he has to hole up as well. Danys conflict with the masters will come to its climax. Some crazy shit is going to happen at the wall while Jon is gone.
Just when we thought some factions were making progress they are all going to be fucked by the end of the season.

The last line is why I'm so worried for Stannis.
He's been getting so much love lately, that Shireen scene, all the advice to Jon, everyone universally saying he's going to curb-stomp the Boltons (including the Boltons). I mean is Roose really going to sit back and let himself get taken down?
Maybe they'll let him win to really set us up so he can be taken down when we least expect it, that seems very GoT-ish, no? Then again they built him up before Blackwater and he managed to survive his defeat.

red women has been pretty spot on with predictions so i think stannis wins vs bolten. combines with stark, survives brienne, maybe she kills the red women. they take kings landing.
i just have no idea what littlefinger is doing. the guy who got olenas grandchildren in jail is his employee. so little finger and cercei use religion to get rid of highgarden and then littlefinger uses it to depose the king/cercei?

Pretty sure Littlefinger has no connections with the faith militant. There was a blatant scene where Lancel confronted him when he arrived in King's Landing. He even made a snarky comment about religion in general telling Lancel that both he and Lancel deal in fantasies, his just happen to be more entertaining.

Plus Littlefinger questioned Cersei's actions of antagonizing the Tyrell's prior to revealing his plan to march on the Boltons.
At this point I think his plan is to abandon the Lannisters and find a new ally (potentially Stannis)

Stannis has to win against the Boltons. How can we otherwise see the clash between the two religious wackos - Red woman and the old dude. Also, my bet is that Reek will kill Ramsey. I think that the Lannister cause is lost, because they are basically out of allies and broke. Littlefinger will turn against then in the first possible moment. And knowing his ability to persuade people, he will turn the entire army agaist them, too.
It's funny that the slave master that caught Mormont and Tyrion is dead, but doesn't know it yet
