Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]
RE: Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[...]

Which is why he tried to be sneaky about it.

You'd think in 30 years, she'd come up with a better plan, than a hastily thrown-together assassination, with the only evidence, that could lead to Tyrion, being a weapon, ownership of which is uncertain. This is such a feeble intrigue, that it's not entirely clear if the person, who sent the assassin even meant to incriminate Tyrion. And let's not forget, that if the direwolf didn't rip out the guy's throat - he would have been caught and "questioned", revealing his employer. A lot to bet on luck - after 30 years, of biding one's time...

Yeah, well - I'm going to have to disagree with you on that, for all the reasons I outlined in my previous few posts.
