Season 4, Episode 8 - 'The Mountain and the Viper', HAVE NOT read the books

Clareman

All I could think of for the whole fight at the end was

Brendan Filone

J. Marston

"If you want justice, you've come to wrong place."

How right you were, Tyrion.

I actually feel like that last ten minutes (especially the finale) drained me. I keep having to remind myself it's only fiction...

Brendan the second photo in your last post says it all, something about his screams and her scream just got to me

I know I was standing in the shower with Oberyns screaming stuck in my head telling myself "It's only a show, it's only a show"

Aw! I really just shouldn't get invested in characters because the ones I like always die!!

What an episode though!

Arya was hilarious, Sansa going to the dark side, Jorah, the wildings! So much happened.

Roll on episode 9. I'll have a week to get over oberyn

fearrua

Just finished watching it. Holy ****ing ****, I did not see that coming :eek:

Also I loved Arya's response to finding out her aunt had popped her clogs.

I don't know how anyone could really say they didn't see it coming, but I think I agree with a few other folks in that it was the scream that got to me. Not surprising, but very shocking.

The fight was the only good thing about the episode tbh, very poor up to that point.

Mike Litoris

Fcuk sakes.


I sick of getting trolled by that Martin bollocks.

that sh1t was worse than the red wedding, **** dis ****

I found the beetle story similar to Oberyns journey, both drawn and then ending very prematurely.

Helmets saves lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will Game of Thrones ever double bluff the audience? Where likeable characters don't die in the big events.
Poor Myrcella in Dorne what will happen to her.

Sansa said to Littlefinger "Shall we go" at the end, where are they off to ??

It a pity Olenna is gone, Oberynn is dead and Tyrion probably will be dead now too. They were by far the best at dialogue along with Tywin and Varys.

DeVore

At this stage I'm pretty much watching it for Arya, Tyrion and the dragons. If they kill Tyrion (and some how I think they might not), then we're left with a bunch of people who I pretty much don't care about. Bran? Fat boy and his missus?? The Lannisters? Reek? not really fantastic fast paced stories but still, I love the show and will stick it out with it. I just cant get past other shows which started great and then got fat and flabby in the middle. Battlestar? Lost? etc...

Judging by the preview we are getting a lot of Castle Black next week

TBH I thought the majority of the episode till the end as pretty "meh". They had been teasing us with this fight for a long time and it delivered. Although all the showboating from Viper made it a little obvious how it was going to end up.

But i think the most important question thatneeds to be answered from this episode is

Does Grey Worm have a dick?

Judging from today I say were in for an awkward sex scene in the coming weeks

mr friendzone getting shafted should have been a bigger deal. It happened all to quick.
dragon lady is fairly ungrateful after all he did for her.

fight was excellent and although I suspected the mountain would win I was shocked by the way it happened.

hope somebody (like bronn) rescues tyrion as regardless of the story - the show would be worse without his wit and cunning.

**** THAT, **** everything about that that has left me more shaken then the god damn red wedding although you could see it coming once Oberyn started to go mental but GOT DAMN the Mountain EXPLODED his head WHAT EVEN



God dammit Game of Thrones will any TV show ever affect me like you can?!

Absolutely delicious television viewing

mayordenis

I'm actually sickened, Oberyn was such a badass.

delicious? not sure if it is the right word to use after such scene

Mountain = Rock
Oberyn = Beetle

I'm a book reader but thought this gif would be more suited to here

Hmm...I fear for the hound. They seem to be highlighting the fact that he didn't sterilise that bite wound properly.

Huh, you mean the Hound?

Adamocovic

Not much talk about poor Jorah, very sudden and not much on it. Big scene though what now for Jorah?

Whoops, yes! It's early here, still half asleep. For some reason I read Bronn and pictured the hound

That fight delivered, Oberyn was a serious fighter, he was handling the Mountain with ease its such a pity we wont get to see more of him.

Surly Gregor was mortally wounded in that fight though?

I reckon that was the worst episode bar ep 1. Big things happened just in the dullest manner ever. The fight was all I came for and that was alright. Saw it coming too.

Who talks with such zeal yet looks to his missus for approval of their coolness?

Part of me would like to think there will be an attempt on her life and Jorah will save her thereby redeeming himself, but he will probably get the hump and betray her.

Why is there not more talk here of Missandei's boobies?

Mountain is a beast and I'm glad he squashed Oberyn's head into bits.
#Justice4Joff

he deserved it, all the stupid dancing around and expecting a confession (which he did get, not the way he wanted though) did they both die though or was mountain just lying there at the end wounded,also things aren't looking good for lord friend zone.

Because there are no words

If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention

Missandei's boobies were the best part of that episode before the fight. IMO the best boobies in the show so far.

HOLY BALLS.

Pity, I liked Oberyn.

dark crystal

Gutted. Absolutely gutted after that.

The worst part was Cersei's smirk at the end. God, I'd love to see her buy it. :mad:

The dozen teeth hitting the ground
Actually stopped my heart

Taylor365

Going by characters i like in the show..

The Hound, Arya, Jon Snow, Jorah Mormont and Barristan Selmy will all die in a big explosion or turn into zombies next episode. I can feel it.

Where there's a will, there's George R. R. Martin

lertsnim

Gruesome ending and wonderfully done. Slow episode but enough there to entertain me.

J. Marston

DL Saint

Two words for that ending....MIND BLOWING!!!

Burt Macklin

Lena Headey and Pedro Pascal
