I actually did not observe that. I inferred it from the dialogues. However, apparently the book says otherwise. Then again the series always been a bit different from the books.

Otherwise ? how?
IIRC, the same is in the books....
....told by Littlefinger to Sansa, that Olenna Redwyne (that 'buddhi' Tyrell) murdered Joffrey in the same way - taking a bead from Sansa's necklace (which I suppose was presented by herself, unlike as shown it was given to Sansa by Ser Dontos).

I have not read the book but read the gist somewhere and it was mentioned that littlefinger was the one who planned the murder. Anyway, it was always obvious that Olenna wanted her grand daughter to be the queen for Tyrell's benefit. The way she told Sansa that it was horrible to murder people in a wedding and that Dontos appeared in Tyrell's garden following Sansa and again he was the one who rescued Sansa were enough clues for me to suspect the Tyrells.

One does not simply marry in Westeros :p

Does party monger's reply to sabby reveal who did it ? If yes, I shall stay AWAY.

Also would like to mention that as sabby, I too think it is the Tyrells ( just before Joffery points the finger, Margaery moves from her position which was near Tyrion, so he maybe pointing towards her ) but then I have a feeling that it was Sansa after all . Idk but something was different. Sansa picking up the cup, that nod to Tyrion after giving the cup...idk (I don't want anyone to reply to this lol. Just wanted to get this off my chest lol )

Also do these spoiler tags contain book stuff or spoiler upto latest episode ? It is a matter of life and death :p

For your own good don't open the spoilers.

Guys I was thinking what if Jaime got himself a sword kindda extension instead of that stupid gold hand. It would definitely had helped me in fighting. What say ??

Yeah it would have been cool but then people would expect a sword replacement in the first place and GoT is not one of those predictable shows

Predictable? LOL. How about stupid? A sword extension looks cool in a mindless comics I guess. Hook is more practical, which is what Jamie also asks for.

It has been a long time sine I read the books. So requesting you guys to refresh my memory.
The necklae was given by the fool to sansa. Then QOT pluck a bead of the necklace which supposedly conained poison and then put it in the Joffery's goblet. IS it right ??

Actually, he wouldn't be no good. In fencing or any kind of hand wielding weapons, wrist is the most important part.

Spot on! If you read further you shall find out as to who gave the necklace to Ser Dontos (the fool) in the first place.

So my question is this :
Why would QOT go though such long path ??
Instead she should have directly poured the poison herself ?
How could she be so sure that sansa will wear that necklace on wedding day ??
Click to expand...
It's a very rare thing. In the books Ser Dontos specifically asks Sansa to wear the hairnet; the TV series has a necklace instead. Also, they meet multiple times and Sansa is always asking him to take her away from King's Landing, and he just keeps telling her to wait a little more.

Littlefinger used Ser Dontos to transport the poison under the pretext of delivering a jewel, and Sansa was just an ignorant messenger who carried it finally into Olenna's hands.

More about the poison here: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/The_Strangler

Put that link in spoiler

Done, though I don't think a link by itself is a spoiler. I also suggest users to not visit awoiaf if they've not read the books.[DOUBLEPOST=1397677487][/DOUBLEPOST]

Was waiting for joffery to die since he became the king. What a fitting revenge to the red wedding killings.

Spoilers

And it wasn't a revenge for the Red Wedding. That's the beauty of it. The Starks are yet to get their due.
