Ruined it with the screaming! I loved the silent falling to her death aspect.
I don't know if that would work on TV, is the thing. How can you make it look like that she wouldn't scream when she obviously would? Tie a bunch of rocks to her?

It's not ruined, but it's worse.
No it's not. It's different. Don't confuse the two. It would have added literally nothing.

I'm pretty sure they changed the wording because they don't have faith that anyone knows any characters names or their relations.

"Only Cat" is punchier and also more natural sounding.

"Your sister" sounds more deceiving, to me. It sounds better than "Only Cat". We've seen Ser Pounce more recently than we've heard the phrase "Cat" as in Catelyn Stark. :colbert:

Although for Littlefinger to love only Ser Pounce would be a great twist...

To be fair, I wouldn't have noticed his accent much at all if not for these threads.

I was kinda hoping that the point of Oberyn's story about seeing Tyrion when he was a baby was that he'd actually say to him that he was fighting both to avenge his sister, but also because he sympathises with him. I guess even by volunteering to be his champion he's tacitly doing that, but wanted him to say it explicitly even if it would've been expository. :smith:
I think it's more he wants Tyrion to trust him enough to be his champion by saying these things. There is reason enough for him to say 'no' to Oberyn, since he might feel that he would be betrayed and cut down by him for being a Lannister.

That's what I believe, anyway.

Does he desire her or her power though? I feel like he wants her status more than he does her and the fact that she is hot is just a bonus.
I almost expected to see Littlefinger lock up Sansa in Tyrion's old cell after having used her to dispose of Lyanna.

It just clicked with me that The Hound will once again be denied his ransom because of murder. I don't think he's going give Arya over to Littlefinger. Though, Littlefinger might be the one in danger if he did.

He did kind of imply he's changing his mind after he said "no reward is worth this", or at least he's moving that direction.

When you put it like that, it seems obvious where this is headed... Tyrion going into exile across the pond and eventually joining up with Dany.
Hmm... or he could go to Stannis, and fight against against his family and King's Landing that way.

Stannis might have a soft spot for him given his daughter, but I don't think it seems like a good fit overall. I mean, Tyrion did completely ruin Stannis's invasion plans, and he killed Davos's son. Plus, I doubt Tyrion's all that eager to go from a dungeon to a miserable island where he's liable to be burned alive for not believing in a god of madness.

Sailing over to Essos seems like a better idea, or at least heading off to Dorne.
Or, say that he was the mastermind behind all of that, and why not use that mind to defeat the Lannisters?

If it worked for Jia Xu killing Dian Wei and Cao Ang, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard and son respectively, and he became Cao Cao's adviser later.

Yes, I've played a lot of Three Kingdoms games.

If Oberyn fell in combat would the Dornish be upset? Its a fight he entered of his own volition, and an honourable death. That said I hope he does prevail otherwise we'd be losing one of the chillest characters on the show, and be left with Mountain 3.1 Pro.
I don't think they'd consider The Mountain honorable at all. Of course they'd be upset.
