Orys Baratheon was a real king according to the asoiaf wiki and founded house Baratheon (he was a Targaryen by birth). I believe the speech Tywin gave Tommen about what makes a King good was word for word verbatim from book 3.

also was it Osha that asked Gilly if she was a wildling, it sure looked like her but she shouldn't be anywhere near that area?
I was wondering if it was Osha too. It might have been the same actress and they tried to change her look a bit.

My sister and her boyfriend told me that after Joffrey's death they kept replaying the last 10 minutes over and over trying to figure out who did it. They settled on Olenna grabbing a jewel from Sansa's necklace and poisoning a cup somehow.

Don't think most show-watchers are that dedicated though.

I have to imagine Petyr will reveal it to Sansa eventually.
I don't trust anything Petyr says about anything. He's a plot device used to create chaos in both the character's and the reader's mind.
Petyr_sl said:
Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you. Remember that, Sansa, when you come to play the game

My parents never read the books and guessing that Olenna did it, if for purely nothing more than the fact Joffrey's cup was next to her right before he got poisoned.

Yeah most show watchers I've seen use that as their biggest clue. She has this totally smug face when she watches Tyrion pick up the cup.

One of the more interesting things I took from this episode (besides the Jaime rape) was that Tywin acknowledges that Dany has 3 dragons. If I remember in the books it was only a rumor to those in KL and Tywin dimissed it as such anyway.

I always interpreted that as Tywin knowing there were 5 other contenders for the crown and didn't want to focus on Danaerys. I think by the time he got real intel that she had dragons she was so well protected by her army (and plot armor) that he couldn't touch her..

Littlefinger *is* behind everything, I hope they don't cut his explanation to Sansa on why he killed Joffrey - it just sums up his character so perfectly:
The line about keeping your enemies confused is in one of the trailers that came out before the premier. It's definitely in the show.

Jaime raping his sister in front of their dead kid. I'm not sure why they changed it to rape but I bet George smiled when he saw that scene.
Yeah, I consider myself pretty tolerant of fucked up shit but even that made me cringe a bit. Good god.

its just more of HBO trying to reconcile the book to their extreme left wing world view... a wealthy straight white male must be a sister raping scumbag.
While they may have that tendency, I see this as emphasizing the extent to which Cersei has moved past Jaime. It's the sort of change necessitated by dealing with the time constraints of a show instead of the latitude afforded by a theoretically limitless number of written words.
