Let's not have that discussion here please. It just opens up the discussion to people that have read the books to come in here ,and wreck our little Shangri-La.

I swear they are salivating with any thought they can ruin other people's enjoyment of only watching the TV series.

My wife read the books and shes been awsome not giving away a single plot. Hell she even has these long discussions with me about coulda/woulda/shoulda even though she knows what happens haha.

Bron fighting for Tyrion would have been seriously out of character and he explained it very well to both Tyrion and us.

Yep. Glad people who haven't read the books really noticed that. It's truly one of my favorite moments where GRRM doesn't sell out and "keeps it real". The actor did a great job showing that Bronn was almost choked up as he left, he does truly care about Tyrion maybe even like a brother, but for fucks sake, fight a 7ft tall man... or go from peasant to noble? How many of us would jump in the ring against Mike Tyson in his prime in a fight to the death for someone who wasn't family?

If they do, they're cunts. I get a great deal of pleasure seeing how you folks react, and it can really be insightful.

Yeah her story line isn't very intriguing or exciting but at least it's decent character development I suppose. Though it tends to just be the same thing over and over at this point.

The show is on TV here with no ad breaks. When Daenery's part came on last night, it was perfect time for a toilet break.

I was hoping somehow, someway, they could fit it in that the Tyrion named the Hound as his champion. What an epic fight that would have been.

I also thought how great it was that Tyrion mentioned how great it would be to have Jaime fight and die to the mountain just to fuck over Tywin, and Jaime gave this wistful look like, yeah that would be great, but didn't really acknowledge it as a legitimate option.

Yeah, it works both ways. I was a little disappointed in Tyrion. I get that he's at Deaths Door. But do you really ask your brother to throw his life away too? Was sadface during that scene.

Tyrion is pissed at the world right now. It's totally believable he'd throw that out there.

He should have picked up on the fact that Oberyn was gonna champion for him way earlier than he did as well, but with all the shit the world has thrown at him, it just wasn't on his radar.

Tuco_sl said:

Yeah I agree. Trying to get Jamie or even Bronn to fight the Mountain is extremely selfish in a way that I wouldn't expect from Tyrion. But I think those scenes had to be shown just to show how desperate Tyrion was and how he had no options.

Clever bitch that Cersei. I thought it was agiventhat Bronn would fight for Tyrion. When he walked in all dressed up it hit me like a truck that Cersei had done her homework and I knew (at the time) Tyrion was fucked with a capital F.

He's my favorite character, but yeah he has to die, if he lives then Tyrion is seen as innocent and a good book and a half worth of shit doesnt happen.

Something I've noticed is that a bunch of show watchers basically think Oberyn has no chance at all against the Mountain, where as in the book it felt to me like the Mountain was almost certainly dead. They really didn't play up his deadlyness in the show I guess.

Bitch clearly didn't do her homework enough. I suspect Oberyn is an even greater threat to the mountain than Bronn and she should have realized as soon as she picked the mountain he'd champion for Tyrion to get a shot at him.

Of course, I suspect Tywin suggested it to her so he could say to Oberyn, hey, I had planned for you to take him on all along.

Not clever enough, however. Choosing the Mountain as her champion might turn out to be a big mistake.

Oberyn is giving Tywin a run for his money when it comes to my favorite character on the show. The scene with him and Tyrion was incredible.

"Oberyn is giving Tywin a run for his money when it comes to my favorite character on the show."

Oh god help I can't breath

Pascal is doing a fucking amazing job in this role as the Red Viper. He has nailed it in almost every scene he has been in, and brings a different kind of awesome to the show, that isnt the Lannister (Tyrion Tywin Jamie) kind, or the unscrupulously loyal type awesome (Davos). It reflects his Dornish background that much more as he isnt from that area of the realm, and the show was in dire need of that.

He is slicker than most characters on the show, yet still humorous enough to not feel pretentious. Just really good acting. In contrast to the guy they brought in to be the Mountain. Not saying Conan Stevens is a good actor, but this guy seems too young and looks kind of like a dim-witted jock. I dunno, Ian Whyte sucked in the role as well so maybe this was the best of the worse.
