Vehementi posted:??? Go watch it, he gets up, he's kneeling over Oberyn. Upon rewatch he actually lifts Oberyn's entire body over him and to the other side, with one arm, then fully gets up onto his knees and speaks a few sentences with a popped lung and a giant hole in his chest. The spear went through the mountains lower torso, and he was clearly on a massive adrenaline rush.

I said come in! posted:You didn't pay attention to the episode at all. There was so much amazing writing tonight, and it's sad that all of it flew over your head. No poo poo, it's not like Jon Snow was quickly betrayed and murdered, following the deaths of both Ned and Rob. It was the Red Viper, a supporting character. His death is not predictable writing when it has huge consequences for Tyrion's future. If Tyrion evaded a death sentence for a second time through a trial by combat, then that would be boring and lovely writing.

Yeah, I'm almost more disappointed than entertained at this point. I couldn't get through season 1 of The Shield for very similar reasons (The Shield, a (corrupt) cop drama).

Man, that fight at the end was really mind-blowing. Seriously though, I hope to god that Tyrion gets out of this somehow. Or at least goes down swinging and takes some folks with him.

On one hand, it's predictable GRRM poo poo to see Oberyn die so soon after being introduced, but on the other hand, it's a refreshing change to see the "you killed my father... prepare to die" bit met with grisly end. That'll teach you to not drive a spear through the guy's face when you've got the chance.

Bronn: Maybe I could beat him. Keep my distance, tire him out, pick my shots carefully.... but one mistake and I'm dead. I won't take that chance. Tyrion:  Oberyn: I will be your Champion! Tyrion:  Once again we see why Bronn is the smartest guy on the show.

The Michael Myers popup was pretty bad. If anyone's allowed a Michael Meyers moment it's the loving Mountain. Besides, the details of the fight aren't even the point. Oberyn died because of his grudge. Tyrion is now hosed. Tywin could only manage an incredibly pyrrhic victory, signifying everything slipping through his fingers. These are the things that matter, not if a man could really do what the Mountain did.

You guys complaining about The Mountain are ridiculous. Any war you could point to contains tons of stories of men with greater injuries performing greater physical feats than that. Hell, I'm pretty sure I once read about an Indian who made a suicidal charge wherein a grenade blast tore half his face off and set him on fire, and he continued charging while on fire and with a skull face to successfully lob a grenade into an enemy bunker before finally getting shot somewhere that would stop him: his brain. Adrenaline's a hell of a drug.

He should not hosed with that dude. Did he not watch wrestling? You showboat AFTER you beat the other dude. Not when stabbed pretty bad yet he's the Fantasy Incredible Hulk.

I'm surprised they added Moat Caitlin to the intro credits, considering they came and left in a couple of scenes. I guess we're heading back?

On rewatch, I really like how Jaime points out that there's no word for cousin killing. Killing your cellmate though, that's just plain survival.

Dammit. I keep thinking, 'Why couldn't it have been Daaario instead?' Daario for Oberyn is such a lovely trade. I only hope Pedro Pascal gets more tv/movie roles out of this. He was phenomenal. BubbleGoose fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Jun 2, 2014 |

They've been really bad with their intros this season, and I can't understand why. Locations don't appear in the episode they are prominent and appear in episodes they don't feature in.
