I'm not so sure it was her plan to have him killed. Sure she was hopeful he would die and very happy that he did but I don't believe it was a huge scheme that she came up with.

None of her schemes ever worked. And Jon Arryn wasn't even her doing as we are led to believe. Maybe they did get Robert piss drunk and just dumb luck prevailed

Cersei had two options at that point: flee or kill Robert. She wasn't waiting for him to return and have Ned tell him the truth.

Yes, but Ned didn't know the truth until Robert had already been out there with his favorite wine that had a little extra in it. Cersei did get lucky but her "plan" was, get him drunk and let him do whatever to himself. Lancel was there so I'm sure there was a contingency plan. Plus Cersei probably didn't care because there were Lannister guards all over the place and Mandon Moore of the Kings Guard was hers. Moore is considered by Jamie the most dangerous of the Kings Guard because you never know what he's going to do.

Was Moore hers? I'm honestly thinking Moore was Littlefinger's creature.

Moore was the one that Pod killed when he tried to kill Tyrion. I thought Moore was told to kill Tyrion on Cersei's orders. I'm just now starting my ASoS reread and on the first chapter of Tyrion's while talking on here and taking notes so I don't remember the details Tyrion first receives that aren't from the Maester treating him or Pod.

Cersei never thinks about Ser Mandon, and I think she'd obsess over her assassination attempt going wrong. I think we can safely say that Cersei is not behind it, which only leaves Joffrey or Littlefinger, and I doubt Ser Mandon would kill Tyrion on the whim of an inbred retard.

Maybe the show will reveal this by using it as motive for Tyrion to kill Joffrey? Or at least why he is accused of killing Joffrey

Speaking of which, is there anything that's been revealed in the show that book readers were unsure of?

Only thing I can think is Renley and Loras being gay and Theon's wang getting chopped off

And that I'm 99% certain that since "Talisa" was killed off in the show that Jeyne Westerling won't be pregnant with Robb's heir in the books.

We'll have to wait and see in Season 5 if we get confirmation about Sandor is the Gravedigger at the QI (which I'm crossing my fingers that he is). Oh, and confirmation on whether Loras is truly as injured as the report Cersei got back on him.

I want Sandor to set him on fire with a brazier. Or, total crankpot moment, hop on Viserion and cook that sucker in is armor.

I'd have my soon to be ex-roommate steal it. What an a-hole.


Anyways I would go with 10K? Not enough? Fine.


All the gold in Casterly Rock.

I think I'll go with $500 like OM said. Don't think I'd pay anymore than that.

Wouldn't pay a dime. I can be obsessive to the point where I want to find answers but I can be patient.

I mainly get pissed when you have idiots like Elio and Linda at Westeros.org being teases and saying "Hey I read a controversial Sansa chapter in TWoW. Can't tell y'all what's in it! Sorry!" and "A long held theory was just confirmed for the World of Ice and Fire. Y'all have to wait until October though!" Assholes.

Best ending would be Sandor has defeated Gregor, but is mortally wounded and dies in the arms of his little bird.
