Yeah, it's kinda bittersweet for me. Certainly glad he's dead. You could see it coming towards the end of the episode. They might've gone a little overboard setting it up. I was a little disappointed to see him die in that particular way though. Was really hoping one of the Stark girls could've had the honor -- and in a more satisfying way, e.g. a face to face stabbing or throat slitting. But I guess a mysterious poisoning is more fitting for the show's premise -- a complicated political battle for control of the throne.
Will be interesting to find out who was responsible. The show certainly went out of its way to imply Cersei was behind it (either that or she overacted in that episode), but I'm not sure what she has to gain from it. I think the preview for next week implying someone tried to frame Tyrion is just a red herring. I don't see how that whole scene with Joffrey humiliating Tyrion could've been anticipated and scripted by the assassin.
Speaking of which, who is the rightful heir to the throne now? Does Margaery have any power as a queen without a king? Does the crown fall back to Stannis? The Lannisters will obviously try to lay their claim, but I don't see how.
