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 | ||

Tywin agrees to trial by combat. Appoints the Mountain. Lolol, no one wants to fight mountain. Oberyn volunteers. Tywin's face O_O | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||

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??? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.  | ||
