I didn't expect the fight to end in such a horrific fashion, the screams...

So cryptic, so clever. You could have just said he was dead and not tease us like this lol
Jesus man, how many head crushing videos do you watch on a daily basis then? That was one of the most traumatizing tv spots I've seen in a very long time

This is not the book reader thread.
uh, movies and other tv shows have done it better. not talking about real life shit (although I have seen a few on old horror/gore shock sites back in the day).

Jesus, that actor is huge. He could probably crush somebodys head like that in real life.
Indeed. Maybe the scene continues in 9, but the Mountain doesn't get up so they consult the maester on a ruling. Idk. Tyrion is not going to die.
That's what I'm thinking. Nothing is ever done just for shits and giggles on this show, the writers know how to foreshadow. I'm in the camp that thinks
the spear was poisoned

Sorry, I thought my post would have been acceptable since I was just talking about my experience watching this week's episode. I'll edit it.

He's either heading to King's Landing or the Wall. Given what Melisandre said about it being her last bath for a while I'm inclined to think it's the Wall.
This sounds like some book shit, people trying to be snarky and observant. Sigh. Either way, Mountain looked dead to me at the end there anyway. A spear to the chest doesn't bode very well with the level of medical attention they have. Not to mention his ruined heel, he'd never walk again.

He's also only 25 years old. 25.
Good lord. 25?! Wonder what's in his Cheerios.

25?
Fuck
I thought he looked young. My mind is blown
They should gray his hair a bit. How the heck is he supposed to be the older brother?
The eye gouging was bad enough for me, but the screaming was what really did it
I think the red wedding is still the most fucked-up shocking this show has been done (some asshole sadly spoiled Ned's death for me beforehand), but Oberyn's death looked far more disturbing.

No doubt, I mean the angle of the photo may distort it but the mans hands are pretty close to the same size as Pedro's head (each!). Hams for hands.
He's not even standing upright in that photo. The size difference is just massive. Also, I wonder how far into filming they shot that scene, Pascal said the last scene he shot was walking with Cersei in the garden and that was shown a while ago.
The red wedding was a massacre. And it was an unexpected plot twist full of shock and betrayal. The aftermath is also huge. But Oby's death can be predicted by everyone.. Didn't make it any less brutal.The eye gouging was bad enough for me, but the screaming was what really did it

The red wedding obviously had a lot more overall impact to the story, but on a individual level I think Oberyn's death takes the cake. Just the way the camera is zoomed in on every single detail, urgh.
Also, during the red wedding most people were being stabbed in the abdomen but their faces were left intact, it's a bit less graphic, not so much the case for poor watermelon Oberyn.
where's the fun in that?

there are no good guys.
I doubt it, remember Oberyns speech about how they don't kill little girls in Dorne? I mean, he did volunteer for the trial by combat, afterall. I don't think his house will be too happy. Maybe this whole thing is going to culminate with the Martells and Stannis all attacking the Lannisters in yet another war?
because it just feels good man... the reality check is a bitch to cash.

It would be hilarious if history repeats itself and instead of a Mad King it's Cersei, The Mad Queen Regent. Who is completely insane and willing to do anything.
Question is, who would be the one to stab her in the back this go round?
I think Davos is the last character who might resemble a "good guy"
Seems to be the major problem people have because the media portrays everything in black and white. People assume there has to be a good and a bad.
Wasn't he a pirate/smuggler?
Lot of people forget about Viserys.
"A crown for a king"
Imagine if people actually liked the guy.
Chaotic neutral is wheres it at.
Who's Doran?
Yeah that's true, it's why I put it in quotes. Davos and Stannis seem to be the last two major characters who really emphasize honor, but Stannis is fucking insane and burns people for being witches so he's out. At least Davos saved whats-his-face from being leeched and speaks against Melisandre

Considering how happy some people seem about Theon's fate, I assume they'll love it and think of it in intimate ways.
Personally I just don't wanna see something this gross ever again.
All the scenes so far with Bolton really bug me. He's so complacent with his achievements and his new role as warden of the north. But what is he even doing with that title now? It seems the only thing he's been caring about are the Ironborn in his borders. Does he not care at all about the wildling raiding party sacking town after town in his own borders? Or the the Night's Watch being basically trapped at Castle Black undermanned and about to be attacked?
It seems that Winterfell was in pretty good contact with the Night's Watch when they were the warden. Ned Stark himself even policing their members and carrying out an execution for failure of their duties. So this duty should now fall on Bolton, correct? I thought that maybe Dreadfort is a lot farther from the Wall, so maybe Bolton has less communication with them, but looking at the map Dreadfort is actually a little closer to the Wall and has a seemly easier travel route.
When the Night's Watch sent out the ravens calling for assistance, you only get to see Stannis' reaction to it. I assume other kingdoms received the message and probably reacted the same way as Stannis, who I remember was entirely ready to ignore the message if not for the red woman's insistence. So I assume Bolton would probably react the same way, just thinking the threat from the north is all fairy tales.
But now there's a large band of wildling running amok south of the wall, which is a very real threat to his kingdom. Word of this must have reached Bolton by now. He's so concerned with invaders from the Iron Isle in his territory, but not invaders from the North? Do you think Bolton will take any action to help Castle Black or leave them to fend for themselves? If Castle Black falls, it would directly affect Bolton and Bolton alone.
Sorry if this is long, but it's just been bugging me.
tldr: why does Bolton ignore the wildling party raiding towns south of the wall?
