I wonder if I'll have to make a thread again, specifically for whatever happens in episode 9.

Yea just an educated guess. I mean the last episode 9.. was the red wedding.
I personally would put poison on my own armor so when the Hound grabs me he gets hit with it. (totally stole that from the condor hero trilogy.. but w/e!)
Now that I look back into it, apparently it was just a rumor.
It would have been great to hear LF say, "She didn't fly so good!" like Aidan Gillen's character in TDKR.
I'm in this boat as well.
Also, didn't Oberyn visit same place where the Unsullied are trained for 5 years or so? It seems like his fighting style is reminiscent of how they fight and probably something the Mountain doesn't have experience. Should make for an interesting encounter.

This is a strange situation for Tywin. If Oberyn loses, the crown loses support of Dorne. If the Mountain loses, Tyrion goes scot free.
Sounds like whatever happens, Tywin wouldn't come out very happy about it. Perhaps, that's exactly what Tyrion wanted after all the shit he's gotten from his "family".

Dat red woman. Hnnnnnng.
Welp, now Baelish has Sansa all to himself. Ayayay, Sansa.
I wonder if Briene took the wrong way toward Sansa at the fork in the road... it wasn't clear in the scene but you get the feeling it important.
Also, I said before that this wasn't the kind of show where we'd suddenly see a more vulnerable side to the Hound in his interactions with Arya. Well looks like I have to eat... err... crow.

Are you sure they would lose Dorne's support? Couldn't Tywin just be like, "Yo guys, this dude volunteered himself."
Oberyns like second in line in terms of Dorne, losing a guy like that wouldn't be small peanuts!!

And that's gonna get the crown a free pass? Not very likely...
Yass queen.
Dat unrealistic reach tho. Stretch Sansa.
Do the judges have the ability to veto a champion? I'm not saying it won't, but I just don't see how this comes back to bite Tywin in the ass.
Tywin implied that he would be willing to bring the Mountain to Oberyn earlier in the season. If Oberyn defeats the Mountain, that could actually help Tywin seal up an alliance with Dorne. With Tywin's original plan failing, the best outcome for him would probably be Oberyn winning. The Mountain winning would only kill Tyrion, and weaken relationships further with Dorne. I guess you could argue Oberyn dying could be beneficial for Tywin as the removal of a potential threat, but everything seems win win when it comes to Tywin.
Well, I doubt many kingdoms would see too kindly on a person of great importance dying thanks to a sham of a trial.
Yeah I find it hard to believe that Tywin will be cool with this.

I don't see how Oberyn winning is a win at all for Tywin. Oberyn wants him dead, which was clarified again this episode. On top of that, he's going to have a son that maybe not kill him, but surely make Tywin suffer big time. Oberyn is also part of the small council, right next to him to play his cards if necessary.
The way I look at it after Tyrion pissed Tywin's plans last episode, either result is bad for him.
Where was this ever said? I don't remember.
Pretty sure the first episode or so, before Joffrey's demise.
edit: Not literally right before his death, but at some point when they were setting it all up.
That sounds like some book shit. Mods alerted.
Um...Tywin says "Didn't you study poisons at the Citadel?" and Oberyn replies "Yes, that is how I know."
I seriously hope you were joking.

Viper vs The Mountain has to be at least longer than 6 minutes.
I don't want it to be like another The Hound vs Beric Dondarrion, which was like 3 minutes fight.

I checked the tv show wiki. Something about Oberyn and poisons in season 4, episode 3. Apparently Tywin brings it up while talking shit to Oberyn in an accusatory manner. Dude isn't trolling, he just had a better memory than some of us. Or that episode summary is full of crap.
edit: I see I was too slow ot be useful and someone already found it on youtube.

Yep. It was in the show.
I want to say they went the wrong way, if only because of how the scene was framed.
Thanks for the laugh since Vire once accused me of the same thing (although it was settled later). I just find this funny for the irony since he just pointed something out clearly stated in the show.
I just hope you were joking. Too many jumpy people here sometimes.
Anyway, I think I know who wins based on a simple mistake by the show but don't want to say.
I just want some good fight choreography for this one. It's really hard to make a sword duel look believable and with how well everything else is done in this show, they have some high standards to meet.
The problem is I want the fight to be decent but don't want it to take up too much because I'm selfish and realize this season is close to ending with a lot of plots still needing to advance in some sort of meaningful way. I mean, Stannis obviously won't be invading while this trial is going on so that means I have to wait even longer for the inevitable invasion and coronation and it's driving me crazy. I want to see if Stannis is going to be the type of king he would have been before he met Melisandre or if he'll be a zealot making things worse because of her. That and we know he's one of the few to worry about the White Walkers meaning we won't see some major action with them until he's king in my opinion. I'm hoping the end of this season has those crazy bastards starting to invade at least.
What was that? Coming out after the books? Books that which you read and now know all there is to know in the Game of the Thrones? And thus know the events that will unfold in the coming episodes?
Hm? Hmm? Hmmm?
LMAO.
I think I mentioned it here before and while it doesn't guarantee it will go down this way necessarily, I think it's a good indication.
It has everything to do with the show though, just not necessarily in the actual story.
Honestly, I tell myself after every season that I should read the books, but I get too invested into the show and don't want to change that as the show gives you a lot of foreshadowing to read into and hints that make it more fun to speculate after each episode.

I think that scene's meaning was that they were traveling northward from the inn, but ended up choosing the easternmost path when Pod suggested that Sansa could have been gone to her aunt Lysa, which is in the Vale of Arryn, which is East.
Yeah, there was just something... that seemed wrong about the decision. Podrick was facing the path as he spoke of the vale and briene took the turn instead.
