Game of Thrones 4.2 "The Lion and the Rose" (spoilers) [View all]

How do people like their purple as a wedding color?

Synopsis: A who’s who of honored guests turns out for Joffrey and Margaery’s wedding in King’s Landing, but the king’s taste in entertainment rubs many of them the wrong way. Meanwhile, Bronn gives a lesson to an unlikely pupil; Bran’s vision helps map out his journey; Stannis loses patience with Davos; and Ramsay takes a perverse delight in his new pet.

I hope we get the reception NobodyHere Apr 2014 #1

I've not missed a single episode and really like GOT, but... hlthe2b Apr 2014 #2

If you get lost with the TV cast... NobodyHere Apr 2014 #3

well, if I'd read the books, the tv show cast would certainly be easier... hlthe2b Apr 2014 #4

And, if you read the books NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #9

The books are really complex, but a very engrossing read. Warren DeMontague Apr 2014 #12

at least the books have a listing of the characters in the back of each one TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #14

There's a Wiki that will help with that Ron Obvious Apr 2014 #6

thanks.. I'll check it out. hlthe2b Apr 2014 #10

I had to watch all 3 seasons several times to get everything straight TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #17

I've got a feeling the reception will be next week. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #5

If you read next week's description NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #7

Ooooh. How delicious. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #8

I don't think so - there's only 10 episodes TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #15

i think they are doing a good job so far rudolph the red Apr 2014 #42

I'm curious at what point this season will end TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #46

the last couple books kind of plod along and intrduce characters rudolph the red Apr 2014 #47

I think Martin made a mess of books 4 and 5 TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #50

I agree with what you wrote NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #70

Yep. Martin's obviously just milking it at this point. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #87

If Martin was milking it NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #88

Just because he's slow doesn't mean he's not milking it. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #89

How's the pie? Warren DeMontague Apr 2014 #11

I heard NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #13

So good to see dr.strangelove Apr 2014 #18

Unfortunately NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #16

Ding Dong, Joffrey's dead. Arkana Apr 2014 #19

That was beautiful! Solly Mack Apr 2014 #20

I always cry at weddings. Finally one I could cheer for. -nt Liberal Veteran Apr 2014 #21

Shame a few others didn't drink from the cup. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #22

people will be dropping like flies throughout this season TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #55

I hope the pace is a good one. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #63

doesn't look like it TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #85

I think I'm going to decorate my kitchen in the colors of Joffrey's face. Baitball Blogger Apr 2014 #23

They did dead well. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #29

So, who poisoned Joffrey? Baitball Blogger Apr 2014 #24

Those of us who read the books know who poisoned him. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #27

We think we do, anyway. n/t PoliticAverse Apr 2014 #52

It was made very apparent in the book TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #53

I think it was who escorted Tyrion's wife out of there just before Joffrey B Calm Apr 2014 #62

nope TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #79

I thought the book left open the possibility that the person who gave it away was lying. PoliticAverse Apr 2014 #72

I know! Solly Mack Apr 2014 #30

next week's show should provide a good clue, rudolph the red Apr 2014 #43

it wasn't the pie TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #44

That was the greatest ending of an episode in the history of tv. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #25

I have it recorded NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #28

Yes. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #32

Yes. nt siligut Apr 2014 #33

this is the second time you've mentioned a spoiler is to follow TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #54

you need to highlight the area NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #57

ah HA! TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #59

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! distantearlywarning Apr 2014 #26

Oddly enough...throughout this episode Solly Mack Apr 2014 #31

in the book, didn't Lady Olenna complain rudolph the red Apr 2014 #34

Yes. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #35

lol, she's cranky, but i like her. rudolph the red Apr 2014 #36

I do too. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #38

She's fabulous TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #56

They've done a great job with her NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #61

Yes. She made a remark about how often it was played. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #37

i'm half way through the last written book. blogslut Apr 2014 #39

Joffrey gives a new meaning to... Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #40

Looks like he should be on The Walking Dead neverforget Apr 2014 #48

Yay purple wedding!! bravenak Apr 2014 #41

I'm waiting for NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #64

Or, bravenak Apr 2014 #69

I figured that would be next season TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #81

This season is going to be the best yet. bravenak Apr 2014 #82

I always did rather like Cercei in a lot of ways TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #83

I was just saying this last night! bravenak Apr 2014 #84

I'm guessing that comes near the end TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #80

Tywin was disappointing this episode rudolph the red Apr 2014 #45

Tywin is trying to make nice with the Dornish TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #49

I guess i just wanted too see the regular Tywin rudolph the red Apr 2014 #51

Actually, this is the first time that he wasn't doing verbal battle TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #58

Tywin is a crafty politician NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #60

He didn't rise to the bait (death of children) - which is like him. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #65

well said NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #66

Pride can make a person oblivious to danger. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #68

haha blogslut Apr 2014 #73

He's a fictional character. Iggo Apr 2014 #74

Yeah. blogslut Apr 2014 #75

I think most people that read the book NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #86

Is it just me distantearlywarning Apr 2014 #76

I don't understand why people are filming other people watching tv. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #77

Well, book readers knew what was coming NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #78

Was book Stanis as big of a dick as he is in the show? Mike Daniels Apr 2014 #90

In some ways I thought book Stannis was more of an ass TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #102

I'm not sure about her, either NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #107

Penny The Philosopher Apr 2014 #91

It looks like the show isn't going to have Penny TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #92

I read about that NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #93

I figured they wouldn't be able to use a real dog or pig TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #95

In the books The Philosopher Apr 2014 #94

actually, I really didn't like much how Martin used the character TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #96

I agree on Penny NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #97

Tywin was never on her list TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #100

Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, aka Sansa Stark, on Joffrey’s Death and Why He’s Like Bieber jakeXT Apr 2014 #98

good article NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #99

Finally saw the episode last night NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #101

Right from the beginning I thought Baelish was going to be trouble TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #103

I knew he was trouble NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #104

Huh, interesting TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #105

My guess NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #106

Funny, I think it's going the other way. cemaphonic Apr 2014 #108
