The Prime Suspects In The Righteous Regicide of Joffrey Baratheon


Tywin Lannister

Joffrey was becoming a bit uncontrollable as of late and Tywin is smart enough to know that a twisted boy-king could be trouble down the road but Tywin is all about family; if he hasn’t killed Tyrion by now there was no way he would kill Joffrey.
Unless he foresaw that Joffrey’s volatility as king would undo all of his hard work to end the war. Tywin is a practical man who could conceivably see that sacrificing his grandchild would be better for the family than allowing him to run wild.

  1. Not a spoiler since we just saw it: If i reemmber correctly, there was zero mention of Theon in Storm of Swords, it wasn’t until the later books (not sure if it was feast or dragons) that you get introduced to some character named Reek and learn later on that it’s Theon. Same deal with Asha, no mention of her at all in the book. I thought it was a cool drop for the book nerds to end off with Ramsay coming up with Reek

    1. I have to admit to enjoying the liberties the show has taken with the books…I am not that big of a hardliner when it comes to adaptations I guess.
      And Martin had a bit of a penchant for taking characters we know and having them function under aliases for long stretches without letting the readers in on just who they really were. That definitely wouldn’t work as well on TV.
