I wouldn't put it past this show to kill off Tyrion, but I think a more likely scenario is all this nonsense fractures the Lannisters, and we all look back and go "Well, duh, trying to kill each other for two whole seasons isn't a real good look for a dynasty."

BubbleGoose posted:Cocky? Sure. But a pompous motherfucker? Against the Mountain? No one has better reason for hating the Mountain and wanting to poo poo down his throat than the Hound and Oberyn. His passion made him over confident. He didn't deserve a death like that, at least in my opinion, he didn't. this is game of thrones, where character flaws get you killed. or you die for other reasons.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:The best you can hope for is that the fan favorites get an appropriately awesome death, and Oberyn got that in loving spades. That is a pretty good way to look at the show lol. I'll need to spend more time figuring out what glorious death they all can aspire to, rather than who might survive. PS: I would like to see Maester Aemon ( blind old dude from the wall ) end up being some ice-sorceror who kills Melisindre in an awesome Fire/Ice Magic Duel. And like she tries to send a fleet of womb-shadows to attack him, and he freezes them and one is like half sticking out of her cooch for rest of the magic fight, and she drags it along like a dog with a poop that is stuck to its butt. you know, or something.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:Woah a character I loved got killed in GoT? How could I have foreseen this? I got no problem with characters getting killed. But the gruesome death to fave character rate seems a bit unbalanced. Joffrey's death didn't appear half as gross. Seems like the writers hyped up that whole attack at Craster's scene just to show an rear end in a top hat get a sword through his mouth. I'm not even that angry about it. It's just my feeling that the death was a bit over the top and unnecessarily gross.

Oberyn you dumb poo poo. Really good episode. Arya was hilarious and now Sansa is finally cool. I was spoiled on Oberyn dying but I thought he was about to pull it off for a bit there. Then he just continued yelling and not lancing Gregor through his fat head and I was all like "dumbass didn't learn." Also I found Robb's wife's death way more brutal than this one.

I dont get how a default guilty verdict is rendered if both combatants died. Shouldnt it be undecided? Or like a do-over?

I'm not sure how you could make a character getting his head smashed in by a 10 foot giant any less gruesome. Also I don't see how the gore took away from the scene at all. It was unpleasant to watch, but that strengthens the impact if anything.

I'm guessing the way they're looking at it is "Clegane killed Oberyn and then died after the fight." I mean, if one guy gets cut and dies of an infection a few days later they wouldn't declare it a draw.

The Mountain is ugly, and he defaces beautiful things.

Fryhtaning posted:Can someone tell me if the ending was accurate to the book? Because that was some Michael Myers poo poo that I just watched. Only in a Halloween/Scream/IKWYDLS movie would someone with a) a spear through his throat be able to speak, and b) literally one heartbeat from his own death be able to explode someone else's skull. Came here with this sentiment. I'm fine with Oberyn losing or whatever, but this was an extremely dumb scene. "lol he wasn't actually wounded, GOT YA!" despite being speared at least 1 foot through the chest. ROH-KAY  It's like the red wedding where 500 soldiers kept a perfect secret etc. and it was this preposterously elaborate plot. Kill Jon? OK fine. Masterstroke of writing, nobody saw it coming because you wanted to have him avenge Ned and all your hope is crushed. But the way it was presented in the TV show? loving lol are you serious? It's like they bring in a retarded guest director for some important episodes.

Really happy about Sansa this episode, I think she's finally getting it. When everyone in the loving continent is digging a grave just for you, it's about time she finally figures out how to step around them. Also Arya losing her poo poo at her aunt's death was amazing.
