Granny Tyrell is much more shrewd than she lets on and I could see her plotting to off Joffrey as a way to protect her grand-daughter from falling victim to his abusive nature. The big question would be whether she’d do it so soon after the wedding vows were exchanged effectively removing any claim the Tyrell’s would have on the throne.

  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.
