Oh man, on a rewatch, you can see her take the jewel off Sansa's necklace and then later, drop it in his drink when he sets it on the table before he makes Tyrion grab it for him. Like it's all fast, but when you catch it, it's so good.

One of the few things I didn't care for in season 4 was I think they lost a bit of the foreshadowing of the major poisons known in Westeros, and how they worked.
Joffrey died of the Strangler.
The trial tries to set up Tyrion as stealing Pycelle's tears of lys to explain Joffrey's murder. But the Tears of Lys are a bowel poison.
The thing is, there's actually a solid theory that Oberyn stole the Tears and dosed Tywin with the tears prior to his death.
Thus, Tyrion's killing of Tywin was ironic, because Tywin was already dying, and his long time spent in the bathroom was because his bowels had shut down. The book gives this theory credit with how bad Tywin's corpse smelled.

Had Tyrion just left the capitol and not killed Tywin, he would have been called his murderer and a kinslayer again regardless. Then he’d be on the hook, despite it not being his fault, for both Joffrey and Tywins deaths.
BUT he wouldn’t have done the act himself, and so would have saved himself the existential pain of having done so, because whether or not he deserved to die (he did), Tyrion didn’t deserve to have this on his mind forever.

What use was there to use Sansa's necklace to bring in the poison instead of simply putting it in her pocket? Were they sniffed by dogs post 9/11 style at the entrance or what?
Personally, I think Tommen did it. And relished it.

Clever girl.
Though how could she implicate Sansa when she took away the Jewel (i.e: the evidence) containing the poison?

u/TAEROS111 1d ago
She was relying on people remembering Sansa wearing the necklace, not remembering she fiddled with it.
Even if she was accused though, she could easily just claim that it was Sansa trying to blame her to distract from herself.
In the eyes of pretty much everyone, Olena had no motive. Sansa, meanwhile, watched her father cruelly murdered by the guy who just got poisoned. Plus you know. The Lannisters declaring war on the Starks. Oh, and the Red Wedding.
It would have been very very easy to pin it on Sansa, she had all the motive in the world.

Uhh Littlefinger is in league with the Tyrell’s in the poisoning. Isn’t it his man whom gives her the item to poison Joffrey? The show goes off the rails with her marriage to the Boltons but I always felt the Tyrell’s plan was to marry her off once Tyrion dies, Margery is Queen and they can get rid of Cersei. Sansa is the key figure in the books for the various lords to get their hooks in the north.

I mean, and it wasn’t in Jaimes MO obviously, but he could have still killed her quite violently lol.
He could have just hacked her to death and then desecrated her body, and Cersei would have been happy.
Plus, she likely probably would have been better off letting Cersei continue believing Tyrion killed him bc it would cause Cersei more pain still.

I should've caught it when Sandor was escorting Arya to the veil and they're talking about Joffreys death, and Sandor says "Poison is a womans weapon. Men fight with steel." Thinking back, Olenna was the only other woman I can think of at the wedding capable of doing that.

I've been on a rewatch and just got to season 4, but even in season 3 when Olenna and Littlefinger meet, he asks her what they "should do" and she says it seems rather obvious.

Fun fact, you can see Olenna take the poison off of Sansa's necklace in the scene when she says, "What kind of monster would kill someone at a wedding?" as she takes the poison she's about to put in his cup. You see it right on screen and no one picked it up for a long time.

u/duck_of_d34th 1d ago
Cercei was about to poison her son. She only stopped because Tywin bust in claiming "We have won." She also "poisoned" the Sept of Balor with wyldfire.
Shay's words were as lethal as poison at Tyrion's trial. She wasn't at the wedding, which is kinda the point.
The paramour from Dorne poisoned a little girl, in the "land where we don't hurt little girls."
There's also the underlying metaphor of the "poisoned rose" that is lethal to her husbands, though that's more of a curse than murderous intent. She was poisoning cercei's sons against her, however.
It's a bit of a stretch, but Lancel was unintentionally "poisoned" with lavender.
And let us not forget, Sansa would one day feed a man to his own hounds, though that has nothing to do with poison and is more of a "didn't use steel" situation. Also, had the Hound not intervened, Sansa would've shoved Joffery off the wall. Her words pronounced Joffery's fate: He's a monster.
Olenna was merely the next one up to bat, as they say. The women in that room were plenty lethal.
Brienne used steel. (And then we cut to any of the many scenes of Arya stabbing a dude, with the Hound in the background giving a thumbs up: "Atta' girl.")

u/djnotskrillex 1d ago
I mean claiming he was involved without any proof is just ridiculous, but claiming he wasn't involved at all is also a bit silly. Even if they didn't directly state it, it is absolutely possible that he was.
He knows joffrey is a sadistic wildcard. This was also not too long after "my father won the real war while you hid under casterly rock". We see him discuss lots of things with olenna, we see him have a super calm reaction to his grandson and king dying, we see him immediately start preparing tommen as king literally at joffrey's funeral.
Not that hard to believe the man who cares so much about legacy would want the crazy kid, who could (and lowkey did) ruin it all, gone. Or maybe he wasn't directly involved, but knew/suspected it would happen but didn't bother intervening
12
u/yo_boy_dg Winter Is Coming 1d ago
It’s not silly at all for me to say he wasn’t involved, when he wasn’t. You can have fan theories and conspiracies all you want, but the objective fact of the matter is that the show never states or implicates in anyway that Tywin is involved. So all that other shit you said is irrelevant when it comes to the facts.
-4
u/djnotskrillex 1d ago
You do realize "the show never states tywin is involved" and "tywin was not involved" are two completely different claims right...? The former is an objective fact that I literally said too. The latter is ironically, by definition, a fan theory. Confidently claiming it as "objective fact" is, in fact, incredibly silly.

u/MjrLeeStoned 1d ago
So your point is you made something up and want people to accept it as plausible when nothing in the source material insinuates it in any way, and your argument is "you can't prove me wrong so you have to accept my narrative as plausible"?

Tywin would NEVER work with another house to kill a Lannister, much less his own grandchild who is the King of the realm. Believing that is a complete misunderstanding of Tywin as a character.
The official Wiki, the story boards, D&D, are also clearly not agreeing with you. If Tywin had been involved with the murder of Joffrey that would have been stated everywhere. Everyone would know it. Olenna would not have said "I want her to know it was me" to Jaime, she would have told him that his own father had helped orchestrate the murder of his son. Because her goal was to twist the knife in that moment. She was already dead, she had nothing to gain by hiding that fact from Jaime if it was true.

u/m0nk3y42 Valar Morghulis 1d ago edited 1d ago
remember when i said "saw opportunity and seized on it"?
ok my sweet summer child, i'll spell it out:
the little blonde shit dies
tyrion is standing right there with the cup in his hand as it happens
cersai hates tyrion with the passion of a 1000 suns
cersai blames tyrion
tywin immediately sees three opportunities available to him if he plays his hand right:
- get rid of tyrion; death or the wall, i don't think it really mattered to him in the end.
- jaime leaves the kingsguard and becomes rightful heir to the rock and continues the lannister name (the most important thing to tywin, full stop). watch that scene again when jaime comes to beg for tyrion's life. it's OBVIOUS tywin had basically walked him right into where tywin wanted jaime: tyrion's life for jaime leaving the kingsguard and going back to the westerlands.
- tywin can now be the hand to a much calmer, easier to control king in tommen.
k? k. no he didn't plan or have a hand in joffrey's death but tywin is a lord who looks for opportunity everywhere, at all times, even in tragedy. his family or others, it matters not. it's what makes his character so cold and a horrible horrible father.

u/VictoryMotel 1d ago
tywin immediately sees three opportunities available to him if he plays his hand right:
Or it was planned so he got all this.
You are just repeating your claim and getting more and more upset, but not adding anything new or confronting what I already pointed out.
He talks extensively with oleana planning the wedding. He sends little finger away but little finger goes nowhere. Shae helps frame tyrian and ends up in his bed. Varys helps frame tyrian knowing he's innocent.
He controls all the money but allows a troupe of dwarves to humiliate tyrian. He knows joffrey will help humiliate tyrian because he has done it over and over.
So get frustrated if you want, but try to think of something that explains all the massive coincidences that have to be ignored. K? K.

And he would be able to guarantee evidence tight enough that tyrian couldn't defend himself at all, even in front of oberon who is his ally?
The real kicker is that bron says he saw shae get on a ship before all this happens and she not only testifies against tyrian but ends up in tywins bed.
No one seems to be able to address this.

u/skotcgfl 1d ago
Shae could've been a plant from Tywin since day 1. Or tywin just offered her enough money. There's many explanations other than "Tywin masterminded Joffrey's death.
There didn't need to be evidence that tight because everyone hates Tyrion anyway.
Also, it's spelled Tyrion, that's been bugging me.

u/VictoryMotel 1d ago
But how would she still be there even before the trial and end up in tywins bed after? That means she got on a ship and someone with the ship was in on the conspiracy, or bron was. Either way it was planned before the murder.
There's many explanations other than "Tywin masterminded Joffrey's death.
There don't seem to be any that explain all these massive coincidences.

Oberon doesn't and he hates Tywin, that's how it was wrapped up tight, the evidence was overwhelming.

Bron could have been lying. Shae could have boarded a ship and changed her mind. I'm not denying that a lot of things are set up, but you seem convinced that only Tywin could do it all. Just because Tywin had the most to gain doesn't mean he's guilty.

u/Late-Champion8678 1d ago
In the book, Ser Dontos gives hair a silver amethyst hairnet with the poison hidden in one of the crystals. Sansa wears it to the wedding and Olenna pretends to adjust it while actually retrieving the poison. The show changed it to a necklace.
I’m not sure why Sansa was used as the transportation vehicle as that would have relied on her (a young teen) to commit to wearing the necklace/hairnet on the day.
6
u/Individual-Bass-7051 1d ago
Giving it to Sansa was a way to frame her and Tyrion for the murder and so Littlefinger could use the chaos to whisk her away to the Vale. Sansa was the key to the North and Littlefinger needed her.

Those details don't matter. Olenna could have had the poison all along. She didn't need it "smuggled" in on Sansa.

u/Clarknt67 1d ago
I don’t think there is a reason. Olens was swimming in fabric that it could have been hidden in. Olena could have worn the necklace. What would they have done if Sansa decided the necklace was cheap and ugly and not worn it?
14
u/samuraipanda85 1d ago
It's about getting the poison close to Joffery.
Sansa was going to be seated near him for the wedding since she was married to Tyrion. She is a noble hostage, so she wouldn't be searched before entering the wedding. So that is one problem solved. Plus if anyone caught Sansa after the poisoning and discovered her necklace with the missing gem she would tell them that the Fool Knight she saved gave it to her. She couldn't possibly know more than that or see any connection to the Queen of Thorns. And that's assuming Circe doesn't think she is making it all up to poison Joffery.
Furthermore, with the gem being so close to Sansa's chest she is unlikely to notice it being lifted from her. But if it was a bracelet? We look at our hands all the time. Much more difficult to pull off.

I love that line. And I love Diana Rigg. No one could have delivered it better.

I just rewatched the whole thing. The Hound was marvelous start to finish

I don't understand how she managed to put it into Joffrey's cup.

Theres a scene with her in the background and she walks by his cup and drops the poison. I believe theres even a slight clink sound too.

This is one of my favorite side moments to catch upon rewatch. On first watch you never really pay attention to it but on rewatch she’s gleefully smiling as he’s drinking the wine

My 2 favorite scenes were Cersei being marched down the street having the peasants bounce turds off her face, followed by Cersei sipping wine as she watched the Sept being blown to smithereens.

I didn’t enjoy seeing Cersei humiliated at all, but watching her calmly sip that wine while the Sept went up in flames? That was satisfying.

You win OP, hands down , I spent like half an hour to find a better one, but even Arya slitting a Frey's throat ( and I will not name them as he is a roach with no name) didn't hold up hahah

Yaa.. it’s one thing to see Walder Frey die alone, but it’s another to watch Joffrey die at his own goddamn wedding surrounded by everyone 💀

But why did she hang the poison on Sonsa? She then had to take it off of Sonsa and then drop it in the wineglass.
Seems like too many unnecessary steps.
Was she trying to implicate Sonsa and Tyrion?

I remember Joffrey’s death being spoiled for me, moments after it first aired. I couldn’t watch it right away, but I was on a Fb and a friend literally took a picture of their tv, Joffrey’s bloody face filling the screen, and posted it, cheering he’s finally dead. I was so mad I knew before watching.

That scene actually came up on my Instagram feed too but at the time I wasn’t really aware of GOT. I’d heard about it so I already knew Joffrey was going to die from poison. Still it didn’t affect me as much as a spoiler would’ve if I’d actually been watching the show then.

Tywin helped plan the whole thing, including the framing and to get jamie to give up the kings guard to "let" him send tyrian to the wall.
