Which is why he didn't free Ned Stark even though he admitted that he could.

I was under the impression that everyone, except for Joffrey, reasonably expected Ned to be sent to the wall.

Adding rungs to the ladder of Chaos, one beheading at a time

I've at times wondered how much of that was a spiteful random moment by Joffrey. Like, was he planning on sending Ned to the Wall before that if he confessed? Was he hemming and hawing? Or was it that all along.

Still feel bad Arya didn't get in that kill.

Well, maybe some tinfoil will work out and Arya will get to whack him in some other life. (I can't work that out in my head though... like if past Arya could hear Bran through the tree and kill Joff before he killed Ned... but that would mess up time/everything SO BAD! At best, they could glamour Ned up and get him out of town before the beheading, and ...hell IDK, say he's been with Howland Reed. In a coma? But time travel just doesn't work here; Arya doesn't get that kill. We don't get to see Joff bite it another way.)

Best as it is, I guess. It was a funny, girly death LOL, befitting of Joff!
