Another thing they've done good in the show. Of course Sansas 'change' it is going on more detailed and gradually in the books but they nailed it anyway.

Also I liked the additional 'non-canon' scene with Sandor and Arya, "Lady Arryn died 3 days ago", was hilarious.

Whoever is doing the facial makeup is doing one helluva job this season. Between oberyns destroyed head and joffreys face.  :shock: 

Really looking forward to the castle black situation btw

In the books Oberyn is on top of the mountain, he pulls him in a lovers embrace and shouts the confession in his ear, they wrestle for a bit (while the broken vipers spear is inside the mountain). He pulls him back and, with one hand, holds his head while puncturing his eye. With the other hand he delivers a gruesome skullcracking punch.

Also, looking forward to the wildling fight

Only part i'm looking forward to that fight is that the best character in the entire series will hopefully/eventually pop up.

I shall never stop being butthurt about Oberyn dying, that character had so much more potential, the very cheap thrill of getting him killed in this scene is totally not worth the waste.

Nevertheless, his choreography was pretty damn cool, finally someone that swings a weapon faster than a cow. As for building up to this scene for two episodes I think they could've made a lot more from it. Kinda missed the nigh-impregnability of his inhumanely thick plate which required the use of sneaky tactics and accurate attacks by Oberyn, worked pretty well in the books. Also at the end bit it kinda gave of the impression that the Mountain was faking it and was reasonably okay, whereas in the books Oberyn really got close and Gregor killed him with just his arm strength while being speared to the floor. Just kinda strange to see someone wrestle himself on top of someone and speak normally while getting a pretty large spearhead straight through the body. They should have just made it longer.

Some argue that he died because he did not have that much potential, plot wise. I agree, as an actor, that he was awesome but he had a singular purpose in KL, revenge. Singular purpose is not good for ones life expectancy in GOT, im afraid  :?

Just when oberyn shows us how cool it is to be a bisexual spear dude, his head kersplodes.

Reading about it could not prepare me for Oberyns fancy flips and shit.

And even though I read it I was still in shock for 6 minutes after I saw Oberyns head go kersploosh.

They're going to introduce more new characters from the Oberynlands, fear not.

Loved that scene, it made the whole episode for me. It was perfect. It was almost pythonesq "We're here to see Lady Aryn." "She's dead." "bwahahahahahah"
