I'm really really really worried for Oberyn. :(

I have been totally unspoiled about the outcome of the fight but I just know he's going to die because I like him a lot and that's pretty much a death sentence in this world.


also he and lena heady are totally adorable and I would hate "character dying" to break them up.

I hope he comes back home and fucks poo poo up for the jerks.

I hope he comes back dramatically proving his loyalty/love to Dany, and she finally accepts his forgiveness. And then they get married :3:

Not a book reader haven't been spoiled about the outcome of the battle, but I'm going to be very happy if, after all this complaining about the Mountain's recast, he only shows up in armor next episode and dies.

I claim a half-victory.

Well, hopefully his leave from the show won't affect his relationship with Lena Headey.

Apparently it has :(

pascal, from a reddit AMA earlier this week posted:

Lena is one of my favorite persons. And she (in life) is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother, I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush. Talk about male or female, you're going to get a crush on her easy. And I was just lucky that I got to work with her and hit it off and continue being friends.

UGH this is why I don't get invested in strangers' personal lives.

So can someone explain to my dense self the significance of the beetle killing chat?

Jaime said it well enough, albeit accidentally:

"Thousands of people are killed for no reason every day."

From a few pages back but

precision posted:

He could have even written in some way for Oberyn to lose but still not die.

My thought process:
"Oh no! Okay well maybe he'll get out of that grip.
...Oh, oh no, okay well, he can just be blind or something. Maybe he has like a dagger or something, he'll break free, call it quits, go back to Dorne, have cool bandages over his eyes, and...
Oh. Welp."

I don't know how you got that.

She literally says "I've never met my aunt before," dismissively, right before the reveal. She laughs for the same reason the Hound grimaces.

I'm going to start rooting for off screen characters.

I am glad Rickon is off-screen, since that means at least one Stark is assured from being brutally killed anytime soon.

Either they're virgins whose only idea of what sex is like comes from watching too much Japanese porn or they're full of poo poo. There is no way that scene was written, rehearsed, shot and edited without someone, somewhere, saying "um, this not-rape scene kinda looks like rape".

Men are awful.


Also I was wondering what house Selyse Baratheon is from (House Florent of the Reach, a bannerman of the Tyrells), and I found out that Selyse's first cousin once removed is none other than everyone's favorite goon Sam Tarley. Neat.

MeccaPrime posted:

I have a bad feeling that Mel is going to want to sacrifice the daughter at some point and this should cause Stannis to finally decide between Mel and Davos.

idk I feel like if Shireen had the kind of blood that the Lord of Light wanted, she'd have suggested it a long time ago to Stannis instead of hunt down Gendry. (Maybe she did, but, it wasn't on screen, so it probably didn't happen.)

SBJ posted:

I don't read the books either but do you guys seriously not remember this scene?

"Your daughter is coming with us, because I need to sacrifice her to make the Lord of Light happy" - things Melisandre definitely totally said in that scene, nothing is ambiguous at all, there.

Which is my point; if Shireen is just going to be sacrificed, why wasn't she suggested on-screen sooner? She's right there. Why go through all the effort hunting Gendry? Sure, Stannis would forbid it, but we haven't seen that, and in general if we haven't seen a scene, and if it hasn't been implied through dialogue, then it'd generally be weird to assume it happened.

I honestly don't know how much clearer it can be. I'm also not sure why it wasn't mentioned earlier, but everyone that Mel claimed that "the lord has needed" has been burned to a crisp.

If just three leeches can kill three pretenders, why wouldn't they just put a leech on Shireen every month or so?

What the other poster said, that it's an undefined "something bad," is all we know - a straight blood sacrifice like how people are talking about it is dumb and doesn't make sense.


Oh my loving god page 51 is nothing but book chat. STOP TALKING ABOUT THE BOOKS. If you have questions pm someone in the OP, they're literally assigned the job of answering your inane book questions.
