Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Probably not. I imagine it would make Cersei Queen Regent again similar to Joffrey. Edited April 15, 2014 by LaGoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 15, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2014 So who is king now? Â Tommen is next in the line of succesion, as HG pointed out, he was the kid sat next to Tyrion at the wedding. Â Â O yeah i forgot that everyone else does not know for sure that they are not Roberts kids. Â I hope he is as mad as his older brother. Will he even be allowed to rule at his age? Â Again, his age is something I'd expect them to address next week. Age doesn't matter, if you're king, you're king - there've been plenty of child kings in Real History - Edward VI, Henry VI, Richard II being three examples from England, plenty of Scottish monarchs as well - and they tended to have a Regent or Lord Protector or something ruling on their behalf until they come of age. You've got plenty of contenders for that position in this case - Cersei, Tywin, any of the small council for starters. But I suppose the way it works with the King's Hand and things, you might not need a specific Regent, just have the council rule on his behalf.

Ian 86 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oleanna and Tywin verbally jousting and Oleanna cutting Mace off before he had chance to say anything. Â I like how they have progressed from owning an episode from chatting across a table to do it whilst walking! Some quality story progression there as well as, by saying the Tyrells paid for most of the wedding and also referencing the debt to the Iron Bank, she reminded us that the Lannisters are actually skint (refer to last season when Tyrion became master of coin and went through Littlefinger's books) Â So who is king now? Â Tommen is next in the line of succesion, as HG pointed out, he was the kid sat next to Tyrion at the wedding. Â I hope he is as mad as his older brother. Will he even be allowed to rule at his age? Â Cersei will presumably rule as regent like she did for Joffrey and Tywin will continue as Hand and practically rule by proxy. Â I'd actually forgotten Cersei was technically Joffrey's regent until Oberyn pointed it out last night in a rather blatant fashion! Â The guy playing Oberyn is really good.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) He's a sweet boy, according to anyone that has mentioned him in the show, Tyrion being one of them. Nothing like Joff or Cersai. Â Edit: Tommen, that is Edited April 15, 2014 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm not sure poisoning was enough for me, he was such a total shitbag. Â The build to it was great though, as a way of reminding you what a total prick he was before he got his comeuppance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted April 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2014 I was worried they wouldn't capture the horror of the books in that scene. The description of Joff's purple face is one of the most gruesome things in there, and though it's pretty different (he didn't claw his windpipe bloody), those rivulets of blood and his bloated, wandering eye at the end was more than horrifying enough for the little cunt.

Â The shot of what appeared to be chopped up bird in the pie when they took it away was particularly good. Â Randomish thought, was this the first episode with no nudity in? Or was the story so compelling that I just overlooked it somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 There was nudity, it just want massively obvious. When Oberyn and Ellaria Sand arrive at the wedding, the last doing the gymnastics that Oberyn is taking interest in is wearing no bottoms and we get more than eyefull of *ahem* her gynaecological area. It's very graphic and the camera doesn't stop on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted April 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2014 The nudity has become so commonplace in GoT that you didn't even notice a naked contortionist looking right up her own arse. It was a fleeting shot but it reminded me I need a new letter rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathrey Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) You're right, she wasn't, her upper half was clothed, her bottom half was not. Edited April 16, 2014 by deathrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted April 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2014 She was wearing a Game of Thrones, thong style leotard. He private bits are covered. I didn't think she was naked at the time, until I read this thread, and watched it back. You guys have seen some very weird looking vagina's if you think she was naked.

deathrey Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well seen as I have one I am fairly sure I know what one looks like. I have to admit I didn't pause over it to look in detail but it's referenced on a lot of articles about the episode on the web (such as this one http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5135013) I'll take their word over it rather than yours.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted April 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2014 This argument cropped up on another forum I lurk on, complete with HD pervy screencaps. She was wearing a thong over her chuff, but it was so small, she might as well have just got the lot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
