Lady Barbrey Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I might have to rewatch because maybe I missed something? Why was Pycelle murdered? Varys in the books had a reason for killing Kevan and Pycelle. Why would Cersei/Qyburn murder him separately from everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qyburn had a grudge with him, that's why, wanted it to be more personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitteh Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Because that actor, Julian Glover, who has been damned near everything, has been in the show since the beginning, and he's getting a good death. And because it's awesome that it was specifically Cersei who had him killed - odd that he wasn't at the trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lannister Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think it was a nod to the Kevan POV at the end of Dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daemonTheBlack Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Simply because he was the only Small Council member not present in the Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what Cersei does? Unless Cersei was the one who sent her there to delay Pycelle? Foil hats on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marquis de Leech Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think this was Qyburn basically having his own little coup - he's always hated Pycelle and vice versa. Cersei wouldn't care either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyMo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Pycell was a loose end. He would've known that she's the one who blew up the sept and would've outed her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ununsullied Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think it was a show thing to offset the scenes with Loris who was confessing everything (despite not being that bad a person) and being punished to showing a grand mester with no morals and no shame, get his just rewards. I was glad. I hated what he did to Tyrion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spivo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Why was Pycelle murdered? - He knew waaaaaaay to much, and people often gets struck with sudden conscience in their older days. He might have talked to the wrong people. - Cercei needed a maester who would support her claim to the throne, and Qyburn has shown to completely lack any conscience. - Qyburn did not like him, not one bit. Likely more reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varys in the books had a reason for killing Kevan and Pycelle. Why would Cersei/Qyburn murder him separately from everyone else? Because he was one of the people obstructing her quest for power. I don't recall where Kevan was, probably he was in the Sept as well. Varys killed Kevan and Pycelle in the book since they were stabilizing the kingdom, which he didn't want to happen. He wanted Cersei to be running things, because she would screw up and that would make it easier to invade with Aegon. In the TV series, Cersei would have killed them for much the same reason, so that she could be running things unimpeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, but maybe he wasn't even expected there. That is why he was killed "seperately". Why he was killed in the first place is easy to figure out. Cersai hated him since season 1.
