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

scudzilla

Wow, what an ending, never seen that coming

scudzilla

Funniest part by far, when Arya was told her Aunt was dead :pac::pac:

youreadthat

Damn. :eek:

tricky D

Mad, mad ending.

Ayra's last(ish, I suspect) laugh was good.

Nice to see Sansa starting to play the game more deeply.

Watch the back re the north.

FFS! Why didn't you finish him off! That was one of the most gruesome deaths yet in the series. The Mountain looked in a bad way though too after as he fell down, if he dies aswell does that change things at all? Tywin was pretty quick delivering his verdict though so I doubt it. Something must happen as surely Tyrion can't die. Hard to process all that and that was only the last 10 minutes.

Really annoyed at the ending since it was so avoidable. I realise he wanted the Mountain to confirm Tywin gave the order in front of everyone but he knew already. I was hoping the mountain was going to confirm in some way and Oberyn was going to launch the spear at Tywin but then possibly be killed. I should have taken the words and kiss with Ellaria and the relatively easy way he was taking care of the mountain as foreboding for a bad finish.

Overall a great episode. Real story progression. Only 5 minutes I'd have allocated elsewhere would be the Grey Worm/Missandei unless that is going to have significance later.

What an ending! Way better than joffrey's death IMO. So frustrating that he wouldn't just finish him off, but classic GoT with their 'nobility loses' theme.
Surprised to say I was actually surprised and a little sick feeling at the end.
Hope Tyrion's storyline is kept up in next episode, looks like it's mostly concentrating on the battle at castle black.
Gory death, glad I was watching that on a live stream and not a hd version

Damn didn't see that coming, once he grabbed him you knew he was in trouble, gruesome

Don't because the thread won't be all about the episode, it'll have a lot of posts soon that that will spoil things way in the future for you.

There's nothing really being discussed in it atm but later it will be a minefield.

The beetle speech was really bad, only downside for me. Didn't feel connected to anything

THIS!!!

All men must die.

J. Marston

Another fan favourite

slaughtered and another one to go soon enough.

George RR Martin, you're a prick.

Diabhal Beag

Can't believe the aul lad never got to ride the dragon wan. He was friendzoned for a long time but I thought he'd at least drop the hand at some stage. Absolutely devastated for him. You mad bastard George, ya mad bastard.

Frankly my dear

That was gruesome, that was just... gruesome. But all the arseing about after he pulled out the spear, I knew it was coming unfortunately.

Guffy

Ya as soon as he said your not dying till u confess at start of fight it kinda gave it away a bit.

Decent episode though. Poor ould ayria always just misses safety. Do the gate guards know about Sansa? Will they let the hound walk or would they take them in? I can't imagine how a guards man would be told ayria stark is there and not make her come in right? It just doesn't suit the character arc to be saved like.

You guys will probably get this now

kronsington

Jesus Christ that ending has me shook

Burning Eclipse

I'm not right after that ending.

herisson

I wasnt expecting that ending at all.

I could tell because of all the farting around he was doing and this being Game of Thrones what was going to happen. I'm assuming they're both dead yes? Definitely the Viper but I'm not sure about the Mountain!

From a story telling point of view it makes sense as the Viper would have been completely redundant afterwards if he had lived. Never really liked him as he was a bit of a sleaze..but what a tit for not making sure!

The that's this season's stand out episode over and done with....back to the tedium.

Kirby

That was a very cool scene. Leaving aside the obvious gruesomeness of the end, the choreography of that fight is the best we've seen yet. Jon Snow's fight with the dagger fellow a few episodes back was also really well done. This seasons fight scenes have been a cut above from a technical standpoint. Kudos.

Jorah and now Oberyan. If Tyrion actually dies next week, I'm done with this show. For real.

Penn

Saw some people on Twitter talking about how gruesome the ending was (without spoiling it), but even then I didn't expect something like that. F*cking hell...

Optimalprimerib

Im trying to figure out what good is it for tywin sending that letter about jorah? She is still very strong without him.

They really like the gruesome headshots this season dont they?

Just finished..................Jesus :O:O:O:O:O

Smartly Dressed

Yet again, an interesting and entertaining fan favourite is killed and we're left to endure the likes of Sansa. **** this show.

All the injustice is getting wearisome.

cathalio11

Absolutely ******* delighted!

Mountain is a beast and I'm glad he squashed Oberyn's head into bits. Elia was a whore and deserved to die.

Poor Oberyrn

Eh, are you sure Oberyn?

I could never see him pulling it off, but I still feel it's a MASSIVE injustice.
