Yeah, Cersei certainly doesn’t get an answer from Joffrey who probably would be just all: “It’s nothing, leave it be mother.” Or something of that nature. But generally the trial doesn’t seem too different at the end of the day it plays out much like canon.

Though I do believe that The Hound would’ve been sent by Robert/Cersei, rather than Joffrey. But that’s semantics at this point we’ve gotten a lot of this figured out.

Yep, Eddard was certainly way too trusting and was easily manipulated.

I mean Tyrion might still be captured since the whole nonsense with the assassin still seems to happen to our agreeance, yeah? I don’t mind Ned’s little public display of the will and it will certainly depress and anger Joffrey a lot.

Depends how Petyr schemes it, I’d imagine. I mean I’m not sure Joffrey would be present at Blackwater if he gets smuggled out?
