    Ep. 204: - Tyrion VIII | A Storm of Swords (The Purple Wedding)
    Sep 6 2025
    Tyrion puzzles out how his nephew must have found Littlefinger’s Valyrian dagger amongst Robert’s possessions, assuming that the king had probably forgotten he even owned it. Joffrey must then have paid some unsavory freerider to open Bran’s throat, though Tyrion still cannot figure out why, attributing it to Joffrey's innate cruelty for the moment. Tyrion is slightly drunk while Joffrey and Margaery are wed in the Great Sept of Baelor, and continues to drink until night falls and it is time for the great wedding feast. As they enter the ballroom, Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, comes over to tell Sansa how beautiful she looks, and the old lady straightens out the hairnet that Dontos gave her. Many at the wedding offer their condolences to Sansa on the loss of her mother and brother; watching his wife's courteous and friendly nature to the other guests, Tyrion muses she would have made Joffrey a great queen and wife if he'd had the sense to love her, something Tyrion believes his nephew incapable of.During the feast, Joffrey calls for the royal jousters, and the party is entertained as two dwarfs battle each other. Joffrey then mocks his uncle, commanding Tyrion to fight the dwarfs as the king’s champion. Tyrion rebuffs him, but the King dumps a huge goblet of wine over Tyrion’s head. Joffrey commands Tyrion to serve him wine, and the hall erupts in laughter. Tyrion refills the goblet, and then the pigeon pie is brought out, and Joffrey calls for Ser Ilyn’s sword. Sansa is horrified to learn that the King’s Justice no longer holds her father’s greatsword, Ice. Joffrey calls for more wine, Margaery at his side, and then begins to eat some of Tyrion’s pie. He commands Tyrion to serve him more wine, which Tyrion does. The King then begins to cough, unable to breathe as he claws at his throat. Lady Olenna and Margaery call out for help, but the Kingsguardare powerless to do anything. As Grand Maester Pycelle calls for his potions, Tyrion dumps the rest of the wine out on the floor, and Joffrey, now turning black, seems to either reach for--or point at--his uncle. Sansa has slipped off during the confusion, but when Cersei finally lets go of her son’s lifeless body, she commands the Kingsguard to arrest Tyrion for murdering the King.Follow Jimmy: https://twitter.com/theFLOCKAVELIMatt's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/supergainsbrosThe reread will continue!

    Stalker fan confronts GRRM at World Con and Dunk and Egg Season 2 & 3 News
    Aug 21 2025

    George R.R. Martin’s long-awaited The Winds of Winter sparked controversy at Seattle Worldcon 2025 when a fan crossed the line during a panel with Brandon Sanderson. The audience member bluntly told Martin he “wouldn’t be around for much longer” and asked if Sanderson might finish the series. The offensive comment drew backlash, with fans rallying behind Martin in support.

  • The Sphinx is the riddle.....but why?

    The Sphinx is the riddle.....but why?
    Aug 12 2025

    Will Sarella Sand be the one to uncover Jon Snow’s parentage at the Citadel?

    One of the big mysteries in A Song of Ice and Fire is the identity of “the Sphinx.” In his dying words, Maester Aemon urges Samwell Tarly to “seek the Sphinx at Oldtown… the Sphinx is the riddle.”

    Many fans believe the Sphinx is Alleras, a young Dornish “boy” studying at the Citadel — who is actually Sarella Sand, one of Oberyn Martell’s Sand Snakes, in disguise. The Alleras = Sarella theory is one of the most widely accepted in the fandom… but it raises a key question: why is the Sphinx so important in the first place?

    What if the answer is that Alleras is the one who uncovers Jon Snow’s true parentage?

    In the show, Sam learns about Rhaegar and Lyanna’s marriage when Gilly reads it from an old book at the Citadel. But in the books, maybe Sam learns it through Alleras, who’s been investigating the mystery as well. Sarella — being from Dorne — would have far more personal interest in the truth. She would want to know why her aunt, Elia Martell, was set aside for Lyanna Stark… and why Rhaegar sent members of the Kingsguard to protect Lyanna at the Tower of Joy instead of fighting beside him at the Trident.

    This revelation could have huge ripple effects in the books that the show never touched. We know Dorne will play a much bigger role in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. The show more or less abandoned the Dornish plot when it became unpopular, but George R.R. Martin has been building something much more important.

    If Alleras uncovers the truth, she could use it to rally Dorne behind Daenerys instead of Young Griff — knowing he’s a pretender — and push Daenerys toward seeking out the real Targaryen heir.
