I think it's because as someone pointed out, it's ruining things for Tyrion at the same time.

I've only read books 1 thru 3 (which is why I avoid the Experts), but I still jumped off the couch and pumped my fists in the air when Joffrey started coughing.

??? During which scene?

Wait, are you celebrating because you don't liker Shae or celebrating that she's out of harm's way?

A man wants to poison a king.

Pretty sure that was a lens.

It's crazy that he's said he doesn't plan on acting again. He's going to study and switch careers I think.

All I ask is that someone make a gif of Joffrey's face turning blue and his fish eyes. Fucking gross and awesome! THE LITTLE SHIT IS DEAD!

You mean like downthread where I asked someone else for examples of the FBI being idiots, and I got crickets? It's kind of fascinating to read critiques that can't be backed up.

Yeah, that was a little weird - you'd think that Jack would have stopped her realizing she unbuttoned his holster. But alas, this is fiction.

Also, even if he turned tail without going into the basement, Hannibal would have still been there to drug and frame him.

Well that wouldn't make for very interesting entertainment, would it?

Yes, she feels that way, but she knows Joel doesn't and never will after getting to know him (and throwing unanswered signals his way).

I think you're forgetting the expression on his face when the mob boss wife told him they were interested in his bank robbing skills. Now he's got something new to focus on and energize him, and something he's much better at than drug running. Also, he's pretty much hit bottom, so he's got nothing to lose, he's gonna…

I don't think we've ever seen him that desperate, have we? It was kind of sad.

PREACH

I know - inside I was like "tell him he's more of a father than Arlo ever was!".

Maybe he'll be dead inside.

She could as a g-g-g-ghost.

And, what if McShane just doesn't want to do it? Maybe he's an asshole.
