It’s implied she instructed his squire to make sure he drank a lot, but I don’t think he was poisoned or otherwise directly harmed. She was hoping he’d get so drunk that something exactly like what did happen to him would happen, but I don’t recall any hints at anything further than that.
That isn’t how I remember it, but it’s been awhile and I may be wrong. I’ll have to re-watch some episodes tonight. (Oh, the torture! Re-watching my favorite show! Pity me)
I always got the impression that they did little to help him after the injury, although I don’t know why I have that impression. I doubt the Maester was influenced, but surely Cersei could get to him somehow.
Stupid question, but it looks like it will likely take a few years to complete Game Of Thrones. What are they going to do about the aging actors, particularly the children, who are aging much faster than their characters? By the time the show is over some of those “kids” are going to be 23!
What do you remember Cercei specifically doing to kill him?
If Cersei had done more than ensure Robert had plenty to drink, I think we’d know. I do remember a hint that if he hadn’t had that accident, one would have been arranged, and soon.
On the other hand, this show doesn’t really imply very often. The writers might take their time to fill in the blanks, but they do get filled in.
“Nothing.”
The showrunners have stated it will be ignored.
I recently researched the episode in which Robert’s hunting accident happened at it’s pretty clear to me that Cersei intended that Lancel ply Robert with more alcohol than even he was accustomed to. And the hinting scenes make a point if showing that Lancel repeatedly offers Robert wine, even when he doesn’t ask for it. It might not be the most solid plan in the world, bug it seems clear to me that Cersei at least thinks she’s plotting Robert’s impending demise.
That’s… gonna get really weird.
People say how dumb Ned’s plan was to get rid of Cersei, but she was way more stupid. Ned’s plan relied on the fully alive Robert to be alive, and that’s basically it. Cersei’s plan relies on Robert dying because he got drunk. Robert is always drunk and hadn’t died before. If he just passes out and comes back with a bad hangover instead of luckily (for Cersei) getting gored, her head would be on a spike and Robert would be handing out Lannister land to everyone that murders them.
Here is the question. Why the hell has no one else attempted to get Dragons since Aegon Targaryen showed up.When the US/UK developed the Nuclear bomb, other nations did not just lie back and surrender, they developed their own. Surely Tywin Lannister’s ancestors, the Kings who got their armies toasted must have sent at least a query or two. And why is everyone so blase about Dany having dragons. Instead of, “oh well if she really has them, we are truly fucked”, why not “okay, somebody find where she got them from and get a squadron or three for ourselves.” I mean furthermore its not like they are fighting an enemy who can only be killed by dragons.
Not for those of us who haven’t read the books.
That’s how I remember it. Based on both my memory of the episode and your description of it here, I see no justification to say that anyone killed Robert. Robert killed Robert by being Robert.
I’m assuming it’s because Targaryens are “dragon whisperers.” If you don’t have dragon blood in your veins, when you try and domesticate dragons you will end up a charred cinder in rather short order.
I kind of assumed that like Dany, Aegon was immune to fire.
Without getting intro book spoilers, note that Dany has claimed to have the “blood of the dragon”, and that hatching the eggs required her self-immolation. We could conclude from this that dragons, as a species, are somehow linked to the Targaryens - of which she is the last.
I’ll need to rewatch: is there any suggestion who the BwB is back then, besides the torturer’s bogeymen? No inkling that the different actor-Beric is involved, or what their goals are. I don’t think Arya knows, at least.
Same as with everyone else: with her vagina.
You’re not going to notice when a child travels 100 miles, then has a beard next season? Bran’s actor is already getting a changed voice.
Not really unless future plot points translated from the book required them to be kids. And since a dick in another thread already spoiled some book events for me, I’m not really interested in hearing any more.
No more than any other TV show. Unless infants continue nursing as older children… Oh, wait.
Yes that would seem to be the case in series. But two episodes ago the blew an Astapor sized hole in that theory. Why would the Ben Kingsley knockoff agree to the dragon unsullied trade if that was the case? If that theory is true, then he would have known that only Targaryens can control dragons, because others did try to do so and failed.
Also, there is a lot of Targaryen blood in other families, besides the King they have married out, Robert’s grandmother was Targaryen.
Hubris?
