i can see how oberyn would accept a duel against either jamie or the mountain.

i can also see how Tyrion will not find anyone to help him and will be horribly slaughtered in a hopeless duel.

Can someone explain to me why a duel between Oberyn and the Mountain, as a result of Tyrion's demand for a trial by combat, is so obvious (according to some in this thread)?


Mountain has been recasted

he hasn't been shown in this season yet

Oberyn talked about the Mountain raping / killing his sister

seems like a good chance of Oberyn vs Mountain is going to happen due to this trial by combat

Oberyn doesn't have anything against Jamie does he?

I didn't like Shae in the first place, but that scene made it hard not to want bad things to happen to her :D

Well he is a Lannister. I dunno if he really wants to hurt Jaime in particular.

I think itll go down like this:

Tywin agrees to trial by combat.
Appoints the Mountain.
Lolol, no one wants to fight mountain.
Oberyn volunteers.

Is the Mountain the strongest fighter in Westeros?


There was discussion about this before. He probably has the most physical strength, but he is considered reckless and not very intelligent, so it's possible that someone can outsmart him and win. Really hard to gauge who is really the best fighter at present time.

Reckless strategically (Edmure/Robb talk about it when they discuss the raid) but that doesn't mean he's a careless combatant. The guy seems be be constantly at work, he'd not live this long if he wasn't capable, and it's hard to trick someone with a lot of experience. Hell, Loras (who we know is a great jouster, beating Jaime) relied on tricks to take him out in jousting in S1, which doesn't really have anything to do with strength, and everything to do with technique.

We haven't seen much but if people here are right, we'll find out!

Tywin knows that Oberyn really wants to kill the mountain though, so if things play out that way he shouldn't be surprised.

If Tyrion picks the Mountain, that'll be painful. Because if the Mountain wins, Oberyn dies, but if Oberyn wins, Tyrion is found guilty and executed.

I don't think you can just pick willy-nilly the champion has to agree. As Tywin's bannerman I don't see how The Mountain would ever agree to fight for Tyrion.

I definitely dont think the non-tyrion side is gonna chose jaime, cause atm he sucks at fighting and also they dont know if tyrion loves his brother or hates everyone else just the same.
Cersi wont pick jaime because she thinks tyrion is trying to kill them all and tywin is no way gonna pick jaime now because he needs jaime to be lord of casterly rock.
+ Show Spoiler [next ep trailer stuff] +
hey did they just hint dario whats his name, is the same as jaqen and can kill with magic? he just said i send me to kill anyone anywhere. Even if ur a super pro fighter u probably cant assassinate someone like tywin being that far away, havign no idea of his whereabout apart kingslanding and then somehow sneak all the way there) in anycase i dont want dario to kill anyone too important atm with magic T_T also more arya and the hound btw what did he say to her something something bag of silver???

If Sam the Fat One can kill a White Walker, it's only reasonable that Tyrion the Imp can slay the Mountain that Rides.

Edit: Also, I miss when everybody called Daenerys the Khaleesi. It's barely one of her many titles now, but both sounds the best and was used when she was at her most interesting. My complain about the her storyline is that there hasn't been much to challenge her poised, regal attitude. As a result, she's become a flat character.

Wouldnt be it be considered an insult for the Kingsguard if anyone other than one of them fought for the former queen Cersei/the dead King Joffrey? I understand they are not actually "good guys" and most of them dont even pretend to be, but after they couldnt protect Joffrey, now a most infamous knight (we expect to be) preferred to defend honor of the royal famiy instead of them. Their reputation must be approaching negative values soon, and I can see how this makes Jaime want to get away from his position even more.

Anyone thought Tywin's plan all along was the exact same deal Jaime offered him?

Doesn't look like he wants Tyrion to die as much as keeping his lineage. When Jaime asked, he answered "done" almost before he could even finish the sentence, then went into details of how it should go.

I was prepared by the last scene awesomeness because I read the thread before going into the chapter, but still was amazed. The first evil face Tyrion did to the crowd was legit scary, too. Sick stuff, Dinklage stole the show yet again.

Tywin isn't naming a champion guys, Cersei is. It's the acuser who names their champion, not the judges. Tywin is acting as judge due to Tommen giving him that responsibillity.


Can they really name a champion? I always thought the champions have to volunteer. I mean, for Tywin/Cersei there isn't a huge difference, because they could basically just "force them to volunteer". But some people might not volunteer to fight for the Lannisters.



They can. But the champion isn't forced to fight. Remember in season 1, wherein Lysa Tully picks one of his Knight to fight in Tyrion's trial at the Eyrie.


Also, since a champion isn't forced to fight when he is called, I think Bronn is smart enough that he knows he cannon win against The Mountain, so probably he will decline even he is called.

Peter Dinklage incredible performance !

Didnt expect Theon to be so far gone, he really has been traumatically brainwashed it seems. I just skip all his torture scenes, I dont need to feel that shyte.
