With those nuggets out of the way, on to the rest of the episode. I’ve been wondering how many people have stuck around just to see how he gets it, and now that it’s happened, I wonder if the show’s ratings will fall off (not that it will matter, the show’s already been renewed through season 6). With the death of Joffrey also comes another problem…a lack of a central character for everyone to hate. Perhaps they need time for that fact to sink in, as well. I know a few people who are upset that it wasn’t Arya who done the deed. I’m also a bit surprised that people are just happy that he’s dead, and not calling bullshit on how he died.
I would think fans would be FREAKING OUT now that Tyrion is on his way to the dungeons, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that people’s hatred of Joffrey blinded them to that little fact. The crowd pleasing moment of the death of the show’s most despicable character (a title that must now be passed on to Ramsey Snow, if it hadn’t already) should have been immediately undercut by the fact that Tyrion was immediately blamed, and Sansa had to be whisked away by Ser Dontos (the drunk dude she saved way back in season two who suddenly reappeared last week). I’m a bit surprised that this played out so early in the season, but the big development isn’t necessarily who died, but what that death means for certain characters.
Game of Thrones continues a strong fourth season with an eventful second episode.
