There's no way in hell Tywin would have let Jaime fight, even if he could fight. He would probably find a way to set Tyrion free.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
If anyone ever had difficulty imagining how a warrior going full tank with hp and armor would look like in real life, here you go again. Guy even gets impaled by a spear and doesn't give 2 shits.

How could you possibly like Ramsey?

I loving love Ramsey. He's the biggest rear end in a top hat in the world, it's glorious. Now he's basically the prince of darkness. What's not to love about this guy? He's like Emperor Palpatine: they have the depth of a kiddie pool but what's there is pure and they have actors who can chew the gently caress out of some scenery.

Again Oberyn impaled him square in the middle of the chest at least 1 foot deep (check out the blood as he pulls the spear out) with his full body weight landing on him. Guy's lungs are full of blood etc. but, naw, he can get up, punch with full strength and overpower the guy while talking. It's just bad writing, there are so many ways they could have done it better if they weren't I guess afraid of GRRM or something?

1) Rolling over isn't getting up.
2) Who says he punched at full strength? He's a freak of nature. Him at 10% strength could knock all your teeth out, especially given that he's wearing a metal gauntlet. It's like, try having a dying elephant step on your head and tell me how much not being at "full strength" stopped it from squishing you.
3) There are dragons and wizards. Shut the gently caress up.

I did not see the ending coming up until right before the fight. Once the girl said "come back soon" I was like "oh for fucks sake". All they needed was her to announce she was with child beforehand and Oberyn to talk about going back to school and/or opening up an orphanage when he got back.

In the "Behind the Scenes" they said Oberyn was also a cop on his last day before retirement.

He doesn't give a poo poo about Joffrey, he's in full "preserving the family legacy" mode. He's already got one kingslayer son who got away with it, he doesn't need two.

around and around we go
I thought the episode was strong except for the Mountain/Viper stuff, so I guess I'll be in the minority. I didn't care about Tyrion's beetle story once it turned out he hadn't found a larger lesson in it, and the fight was silly to me. I didn't think it was particularly gory, because it was cartoonish. He crushed a head in his hands, that's a fun thing from comic books. Hell, Oberyn's death wasn't even the most gruesome death in this episode, so I just don't see why it made people so uncomfortable.

I enjoyed every part of this episode except for the last 5 minutes, so now people will concentrate only on the part I like rather than the majority, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

yeah, maybe the mountain is a half-giant like hodor and they're ridiculously durable in this universe. Hodor got stabbed by a spear and survived too if I remember correctly

There's room to fit a spear blade in your chest without hitting the lungs.

I'm sure it would be next to impossible to pull that off in the middle of battle, but it's a fantasy show and the other guy in the fight was the Hulk.

That's probably where you want to stab the guy if getting a confession from him is your goal.

I actually found the rest of the episode more entertaining as well. I liked the last fight because most shows don't have someone's head being squeezed like an overripe grape, but the Stark sisters and the Boltons had some incredible poo poo going on. Kind of a shame everyone wanted to blow past it for the fight.

I don't think Tyrion's going to die, because...well, it's being built up too much. But would Tywin let Tyrion die? That's actually a good question. Because when he had the chance to kill Tyrion, he didn't. His reason? Because Tyrion is a Lannister. It should sting Tywin's pride, if anything, that someone killed one of his own and got away with it.

Yeah, I think the whole thing was that oberyn didn't want to kill the mountain till he confessed, and he was such a skilled warrior that he could purposefully avoid killing blows, while using a slow-acting poison to weaken him so he could play with him until he confessed.

It is even more hilarious in the books, because he survives a week long death march with no food, Starves himself during the preparation on the wall, gets horribly sick for weeks, then is still fat.

Unsullied make up for their lack of strength with insane training and discipline.

The adaptation of this fight was extremely true to the book.

They left out Tyrion vomiting upon seeing the horror unfold. Also, The Mountain said "like this!" a few more times and walked us through each step of the brutal murders using Oberyn as his dummy. The book was way more brutal.

No! Because this is just like that goddamn Dungeons and Dragons cartoon where they never go home! Even though you've been waiting episode after episode for them to go home, something happens to gently caress it all up.

And then long after you've lost interest in the series, you hear from some random friend that they actually did get to go home.

What is your sexual history that you assume sleeping with a woman makes her dress up in an outfit fashioned for a supervillian's funeral?

You have no idea...

Real: I'm figuring this based on how that scene ended. "I know what you want" and then the next scene she's in she's all dressed up like she's in his weird dungeon bird fetish outfit. The guy above has it pretty right, we'd know if someone has sex on this show, usually. However, Sophie Turner probably wasn't an adult when they filmed it and we don't know if she's signed on to do sex scenes yet (can't wait to see the thread when they announce whether or not that's happening).
