So Zombie Mountain vs Loras, Hound, the three sand snakes or I guess there only two that are fast swimmer/mermaids, Arya, Shame Nun, and Lancel. Sounds legit.

Why would a "Trial of the Seven" be all combat? The Warrior is but one god, clearly there should be seven different trials, representing each god's domain?

The Mountain is challenged to spare the last combatant to show (Mother's) Mercy, he just looks back and forth shiftily and starts sweating followed by a smash cut to Ramsay doing a thing.

Because its a tradition of the Andals and they were a warrior race of conquerors. Its not like the Gods came down and said "look, here's what we want you to do." Dude, that's how it is. If you want to know the why of it, go read the books GRRM wrote about Westeros' history, or dig through the wiki. The Trial of the Seven has already been depicted in other books; its just a straight 7v7 melee. Trust me.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Medieval england had all sorts of weird names - Rob, Bob and Bert from Robert make sense, but there was Robard, Dobbin, Hob, Rab, Hab, Dob. The fact that his names are readily understandable puts him ahead of literally every fantasy author since Tolkein. [/hyperbole] Standardized spelling wasn't a thing for many, many years. There was literally no "valid" spelling of a name for a very long time. Jaime is as good as Jayme or Jamey in medieval Europe.

Trial by combat is probably going to be Sparrow naming Loras, or maybe the aforementioned rule nitpicking, or possibly naming Tommen as the champion (Cersei's enemy of sorts, and that one witch told her all her kids would die so yeah), or maybe Sandor because he's been working as a grave digger and the Sparrow knows it already and thus Cleganbowl. Bronn seriously needs to come back this season by the way

Guys you can't compel someone to fight for you in a trial by combat. The combatant has to agree. And I don't really see Tommen agreeing to a fight to the death in the first place, much less one that: if he loses, he dies, and if he wins, his mother dies. I know he's been shown to be gullible and all, but that's a bit too much to swallow. Loras seems the best bet, assuming his scene with Margery wasn't just to give her motivation. After that, I'd predict Lancel. Either one would easily be trounced by The Mountain. The first option would pit the Tyrells against the Lannisters (kind of redundant, at this point), and the second would cause civil unrest within the Lannister ranks. Maybe we'll all be surprised, but the Tommen thing is quite a stretch.

I really want it to be Lancel so that dumb rear end in a top hat gets comeuppance for being an idiot. A brainwashed Loras would be really sad.

I know Gilly's meant to kind of be a semi-retarded inbred but I hate her scenes. The actress comes across like she's in a school play and her friends are in the audience so she doesn't want to look like she's ugh trying Hopefully she's in the middle of another gormless line with the wrong tone and emphasis when Randall Tarly suddenly cracks her vacant head open from behind at full gallop, and kicks Sam's fat rear end to death into the bargain I don't want the fanfare or emotional farewell we'd inevitably get what with them being the show's pet in-universe viewers, I just want her to die quickly and silently Captain Diarrhoea fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jun 2, 2016 |

I mean she could choke on a biscuit in the background of a scene, stumble into a puddle and forget how to stand back up. She could go to work in the Tarly kitchens and accidentally bake herself into a pie, anything. I'm not saying anything jarring needs to happen here
