True but then he'd have to kill, or attempt to kill, Tywin. Which is pretty much unequaled when it comes to awesome characters.

I looked at the results from the point of view that because the viper died first, Tyrion lost. I do not claim to have some special knowledge one way or the other though.

For good or bad this is the difference between GoT and other shows. Another show might have realized Oberyn is amazing and kept him alive. It makes for a very tight and compelling story but we are deprived of potentially amazing stuff when an actor and a character really click.
I agree. Even if the Mountain dies from wounds suffered during the combat I don't see how that would matter. He killed Viper in the ring and won the match. End of story.

It would be a little jarring. But the way this story goes they could just shift focus or kill/write them out. Doesn't happen in the books, but then again neither does recasting a part I guess.
That's the only reason I think it might even go further than contract renegotiations. Or concievably could. Half the cast gets killed in s6 and replaced, then the other half gets killed in s7. Soap Opera style. I don't think they -will- do that. I think they -could-. That's kinda how this show goes.

If you have $20,000 to donate to a wolf sanctuary you might get to be murdered horribly in one of the books.

Disagree 100%, where does Tyrion's story go if he doesn't die? Sansa is gone, his whore hates him, they've shown he has a good relationship with Jaime, his sellsword ditched him, his squire is gone, his sister and father hate him... I'd be very surprised if Tyrion lives.
The only reason I can think of the author letting Tyrion escape, or whatever is that is his favorite character to write lines for.
Think about it, we see a good portion of the last 4 seasons in Tyrions POV.

He's still technically heir to Castley Rock. He's also still technically married to Sansa. Who since Brann/Rick are MIA up North makes her heir to Winterfell/North. He still has some interesting stuff going on. Don't forget Tyrion has connections with the tribes in the Vale which he could use that to get Sansa out.
He's kind of required at this point to keep us in the loop for whats happening at the Wall/Beyond. I don't really see him going anywhere, either.

Tywin, Tyrion, Arya, and Sansa really are the lynchpins of the show this season. It's weird putting Sansa in there, but she's in there.
But this GRRM. This fucking guy is a beetle squisher. How knows. If this show was written as a show rather than adapted, it'd be a lot easier to predict.
