EPTJust look at the main guys as players in RPGs and the normal people are NPCs.
That also explains why this torture guy made fully armored men flee his castle barechested.

The only thing that really bothered me about Oberyn's death is the smug look on Cersei's face. God damn it I'm glad she got raped recently. Also, Tyrion's face was epic. Bet he wished he kept his mouth shut at the trial. One thing bothering me tho. I thought Oberyn was a poison master or something. Why did they hype that up so much? I thought he'd use daggers to fight or something like that (like the small sword he used to pierce that guy's wrist). Did they only mention that to create controversy over the fact that the king died of poisoning while he was there bla bla bla? I was hoping more people get poisoned by this dude. Or at least SOME. I guess that's why they call him the viper? If you go back to the scene before the fight with him and Tyrion talking there's a guy center screen wiping down his spears. Perhaps with poison? | ||

I think it's possible but can't really test it LOL I´m 6foot8 220lbs and i dont think i would come even close to cracking it. I know our largest bone femur(derp whats it in english) can stand 1 500kg or 3000kg, one of those :D | ||

Knees, lower calves are good targets. If you can reach them, there's not much to protect the throat or the eyes either. But, as this episode shown, you don't want to make a mistake :D | ||

Jesus fucking christ, the guy playing The Mountain is so huge. It's easy to think he's looking that big in the show through camera angle and stuff, but damn, he's enormous. | ||

It also makes me wonder how bruce lee would do against a top UFC fighter (Fight starts @ 5:00) This was the closest I could find right off hand. Bruce lee would dominate all the way into light heavyweight (205lbs). I think he might struggle against the best heavyweights in their primes. But Bruce was obsessed with being the best. So when Jujitsu became a major part of competitive fighting Bruce would have been one of the best. I don't think anyone in the world would of liked their chances in one on one hand to hand combat with Bruce lee. They definitely wouldn't want a weapon other than a gun either. The big benefit to being massive like the mountain is that all you have to do is accidentally hit your opponents and you can win the fight. Side note: Most people can't get past the psychological barrier of biting through someones flesh, you have to be really fucked in the head to brag about raping and killing women and children while crushing their brothers/uncles/ skull in your bare hands. I was really hoping Oberyn would pull a dagger and put it in his neck/armpit before he fully crushed his skull. A blind Oberyon would of been an interesting character. | ||

Then tyrion goes to essos and is hand of the queen. Starts telling dany how to act!!! All of the sudden the dragon storyline gets amazing!!! | ||

Not to detract from the discussion, but that video is not reliable imo. | ||
