Drunkboxer posted:Also the effects were pretty loving sweet, I think. The eye gouge and then the long shots of Oberon's head completely annihilated were amazing. The Mountain is a human monster in a fantasy world where things like "having Giant's Blood" is a thing people talk about. His defining characteristic is his incredible size and strength. Of course he can perform superhuman feats of strength, that's practically all he does on the show.

Savage Cracker posted:I don't think Bolton would've betrayed them if they hadn't hosed up in the first place. He was rational enough to see they couldn't win the war, made/was offered an out and took it. hosed up but true. Bolton even admits as such to Frey after, that had Rob taken ANY of his advice, he wouldn't have betrayed him. He's still an evil bastard but he might be one of the most pragmatic evil bastards in the whole show.

I love how he's pretty much the opposite of Ramsay. Ramsay is a genuine maniac who's super into form over function, and the old Bolton traditions of flaying and torture for their own sake (but he's just brilliant enough to get things done with them regardless). Roose is just a practical man with very little regard for fair play or empathy.

precision posted:Also, punching his skull to a pulp would have looked way less stupid than what we got. That would've been less disturbing. Shoving your thumb through the back of someone's eye socket is legit A Way to Kill Someone (if you have strong thumbs) and with hands strong enough to hoist a half ton barbell,* Oberyn-ing someone's perfectly doable. I think that's part of why it was so unsettling for me. *

Do they still make Mythbusters? Make a fake head and bring Halfthor on to see if he can crush it and what it would look like.

PantsBandit posted:Even with Stannis the wall doesn't really have a chance of holding, right? The wildling army is pretty drat big. Mance might be able to give them some training but the Wildling Army is pretty much going to be made up of a huge disorganized rabble. A sizeable force of well-armed, well-trained and disciplined troops in a highly defensible position should be at least a match for them. Take a look at this and this for some examples of the same thing happening in the real world (minus the ice giants, wargs and zombies) - Gaius Marius wiped out almost 200,000 men across two battles with less than 2000 losses on his own side, and took another 80,000 prisoner. This is great

the posted:First off, we're in a reality where there are fire-breathing dragons and vagina demons, and you're complaining about the realism in someone crushing someone's skull? I really hate this argument, because it's kind of willfully obtuse. The show features fantastic elements, but it also has established rules for how those elements function. Realism isn't suddenly an irrelevant concern because magic exists; magic works a certain way, and is usable in very specific contexts. Not that I think this applies to Gregor crushing Oberyn's skull...I actually believe that Hafthor Bjornsson can literally do this in life if he wanted. But it's not like "anything goes" because there are ice zombies in the same narrative. Gregor probably could punch all of a man's teeth out. But if he breathed fire to finish the job, or the tears of a child willed Oberyn back to life, that'd be jarring and confusing even though there's magic in the show. The vagina demons or dragons aren't relevant. I believe the Mountain could crush a skull because the story already established he was a hyper-strong behemoth. You don't need any more than that.

Nobody told her on-screen, but... Littlefinger pulled a knife on Ned in the throne room, was rewarded for his loyal service to House Lannister against the traitorous Starks, and hung out for another two seasons, all while Sansa was also there. How could she not know?
