Bran did. With a little help from Hodor.

On that episode, I hated hated hated hated hated Cersei's smug face when Oberyn went splat as she knew what it meant. I fucking hope Tyrion escape from his cell just to see that smug face of her go.

I guess I'll have to be content with that >=0[. But its still not enough. Oooooh how I await the day King's Landing falls, even if its the whitewalkers, I hope the Lannisters(err... well, Tywin and Cersei anyway) receive a long, excruciating death.

Whoa. What a brutal way to die.
I kinda expected OBY was going to die. I didn't expect him to die like that.
Before watching that episode, I just imagined the scene was gonna be like this: OBY was slashed by the Mountain, with the man gloating over OBY before he dies from OBY's poison spear where OBY gives a final smile of victory before dying. Instead i got something out of a horror movie.

Hello Dark Sansa.

Poor Jorah. From Lord Friendzoned to Lord Exiled Again.

And the Boltons now rule Winterfell thanks to Reek/Theon.

And now next week comes the Battle of Castle Black.

Xagzan · 2014-06-02, 10:52

^ The North sure has gone to shit with the Boltons now in charge.

Winterfell is a steaming mass of scrap iron. Has been for almost two seasons now. What you meant is the North.

Actually, what i meant is they finally got Winterfell.

GDB · 2014-06-02, 11:37

But there was nothing about Winterfell in the episode. That was some random Garrison. They said the name but I can't be assed to remember a no name place like that.

DMurphy · 2014-06-02, 11:41

Moat Cailan, I think.

*checks*

My mistake, Moat Cailin.

The Boltons' sigil is a flayed man hanging upside down. How "good" can the north be?

Artful_Dodger · 2014-06-02, 13:05

Ugh, I don't think I've ever been this upset about the series before lol. What a waste of such a cool character! His skills with the spear was so amazing, definitely living up to being called "legendary". Even Jaime had an "oh shit!" expression at this guy's skills.

But its like hey, we have this awesome swordsman Jaime who's one of the best in the realm, we'll show you 1 brief sword fight and cut off his hand! Oh we have another elite fighter named Oberyn with ridiculous skills, we'll show you 1 brief fight and kill him off! wth?

Anyway, I love how dark Sansa looks; if I'm interpreting things correctly she's going down an evil path with Balish, hopefully. When he visited her in her room, she had a slight smirk after saying I know what you want. I took that as her joining him in his power quest, but perhaps she just meant "I want to kill the Lannisters too"?

The nice thing about his death though is that the mountain's confession screws over the lannisters. lol

He didn't point the Lannisters, he just incriminated himself.

Jagger · 2014-06-02, 16:58

It was brutal. I really liked Oberyn, he had a great personality and the actor did an amazing job. It makes me sad we won't see him again, he had some really awesome lines and it was nice to see someone on the side of justice for once. The only positive thing I can think of is that he died fairly quickly after being introduced so I didn't have the time to get too attached, otherwise I'd have been even more upset.

Littlefinger and Sansa, I can't tell if Sansa is playing him or genuinely kinda likes him, either way it's gonna be interesting. It's wrong on so many levels but I'd actually ship it, at the end they looked like a power couple of darkness with those matching outfits.

Yep. And that's even assuming anyone else heard it.

Reckoner · 2014-06-02, 18:21

The implication is clear though considering who he takes orders from. Politically this is a terrible result for the Lannisters as Dorne has even less reason to reconcile with them.

AmeNoJaku · 2014-06-02, 18:24

Finally, we will get the best part of the Lanister saga, now that they killed Oberyn in the TV too... for a moment I was afraid that he will win, since his actor was so damn awesome.

Jaden · 2014-06-02, 21:02

Eh, it seems kinda unfair how Oberyn lost, even though it makes sense in a realistic setting. Humans have adrenaline, so even if they're ran through with a spear and hamstrung, they can still keep fighting for a while. But in most fight scenes, people instantly collapse and become unable to retaliate when they receive a mortal blow. If they want to make the show all gritty and real, why not abandon that trope entirely? Make all those villains work a little harder for their kills.

Because most people are not the Mountain
