I laughed when Jaime said "cousin killing".
Also my first thought, that was asshole Jamie back then, now he's cripple Jamie.

Maybe, but I don't know how she could miraculously wise up all of a sudden. It could be more of a Stockholm syndrome type thing.
And all you people talking about the Hound coming around and killing the mountain... Have you learned nothing from this show?! hahaha, just like we wanted Rob Stark to avenge his father, just like we wanted Oberyn to avenge his sister and just like you want the Hound to finally put his brother in place... it's too good to ever be true!!
stop breaking my heart.
Except the villains seem to have most of their shit go according to plan. If Littlefinger was a good guy, Sansa would ratted him out in that scene. If Ramsey was a good guy, his plan to take that castle would have failed. It is so unbalanced.
It's actually interesting to see people break into two camps when something happens that they don't like - people who blame the character for being stupid and people who blame the creator for making a character do something stupid. I don't know if there's anything deeper there but it's interesting to see.
Sorry about that.
For the past 3 or 4 seasons she's seen that you have to play the game if you want to live.

I imagine like Michelle Fairley, she has a no-nudity clause in her contract especially since it was drafted when she was like 14.

Blame no one, this will eventually sort itself out and it will be quiet in the realm
This is how I feel. I hope the last two episodes aren't so bleak because this feels so utterly crushing.
Worst case scenario: Castle Black gets completely rushed and everyone dies. Tyrion gets executed.
Best case scenario: Jon Snow comes up with something, Tyrion escapes, Oberyn coated his weapons with poison and the mountain dies next episode.

Makes sense, and also that her character is 13/14 years old. I don't think any underage character has been shown naked.

If Oberyn and Tyrion die, who do we root for in Westeros? Jaime, ehh no. Dude's in the grey zone for me. He loves his brother which is cool, but he also loves his sister, even on top of the corpse of his illegitimate children with her. Jon Snoo is too caught up with the Wall to have any say in the affairs of men. Bronn sold out. Maybe GRRM will introduce another ruggedly handsome badass, only to have his balls smashed and his heart ripped out.
Or maybe it is time we bowed to the One True King of Seven Kingdoms, the Rightful Heir to the Iron Throne, Ser Stannis The Mannis.

This post eased my pain. Perfect way to dismiss what I just saw.
That's no fair, he's got genetics on his side, no amount of Oberyn lifting could have helped him there
I wasn't as emotionally invested in Oberyn so it was just a "holy shit" moment but not one I would lose my shit over.
Damn, for some reason I saw Oberyn losing. I figured he was going to get killed towards the end of the fight. Just because of the way he was being angry and everything. He should've easily killed him in the beginning. I didn't expect him to die like that though. Holy shit. It actually made me uneasy, takes a pretty decent amount for that to happen. Especially in a TV show since my brain usually just says it's fake anyway. I'm really sad that he died though. I liked him.
You're going to root for Stannis and you'll like it. Bronn's still a bro though, no one in the series would turn down what he got offered.
Another things is how good guy main characters get absolutely brutal deaths compared to main bad guys (can't think of another main bad guy that's died besides Joffrey).
- Ned Stark gets decapitated and has his mounted on a pike.
- Robb Stark is pelted with cross bow bolts, stabbed in the heart, decapitated, and then has his wolf's head sown onto his body.
- Prince Oberyn has his head explode.
- King Joffrey the Dick dies from poison in his mom's arms, and gets an open casket funeral.

Now that ive thinked about it.. she probably kinda did w/o making her like too much of a you know.. those lectures she took from cersei will pay dividends in the future.

I hope Stannis shows up out of the blue and kills everyone. The remainder of the story can be philosophical commentary on the lord of the light starring Melisandre.

How many "main bad guys" are there? The Lannisters... and who else? Because lots of bad guys in this show have died. Maybe not many Lannisters have died but why would they kill all the Lannisters lol there's only like 4

Man, that was such a soul crushing victory.
I was really hoping Oberyn lasted another season. Really liked his character.

If Tyrion dies, then this show shall become the race of whom can get first to King's Landing and level it to the ground.
I'll elevate the Boltons to "main tier" at this point

Yeah.. at least we saw that chika naked. That was
That's no fair, he's got genetics on his side, no amount of Oberyn lifting could have helped him there
Oberon could have done GOMAD or something.
For me Walder Frey is pretty high on that list.
Hah, it's okay. I'm actually impressed you quoted Platoon.
The show is like watching a horror film in a lot of ways.
Still only leaves like 5 "real" bad guys, 4 if you take Jaime away (unless I'm counting wrong)
There's tons more good guys, makes sense that there'd be more good guy deaths right?
She's gonna go home and Dorne is gonna be pissed. Add to that Braavos probably bankrolling Stannis, and it looks like the Lannisters are in the shit.
