A comic of the fight: http://mccomseycomix.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/the-red-viper-vs-the-mountain-that-rides-a-12-page-comic/ As always, avoid comments and other potential linkages to possible spoilers. this comic is awsome. It makes oberyn seem even more badass the way he taunts him while the mountain tries to respond... much more elegant than how they did it. | ||

I disagree. Him staying silent made him seem a lot more menacing. The Mountain never says more than a few words, and only when he needs to. I particularly like the scene in the previous episode where he says nothing to the prisoners begging him for mercy, and then shakes his head when Cersei asks "Does it matter?" instead of speaking. | ||

Closer to the book too, as far as I remember. The thing with the shield, the taunts... Such a great scene. Wish they made it a bit longer in the serie to convey more of that. | ||

It makes me happy to know so many other TL'ers had a real connection with Oberyn despite only being around for one season... we need a support group or something | ||

The ending was weak from an action POV. The acrobatics, the spear work, the dialogue ".. going fight that thing?" "No, I'm going to kill that thing." It was awesome. Wish there was more tbh, but that's cuz im a bit of martial arts fan and that was some sick spear play. Uber fanciful. | ||

I am almost shaking from that ending. I think it was actually more shocking and surprising than the red wedding; as other people have said there was something 'off' about the red wedding from the start. It was more the fact that everyone got killed that was surprising (I was expecting some sort of betrayal). The sudden turnaround was so brutal...the way he punched out all of Oberyn's teeth...reminding you that yes this is a big man and yes he does have gauntlets on. Absolute brutality the way he killed him omfg. Wonderfully crafted and powerful ending to that episode. Also I join the other people who are sad for Oberyn. I am sad that he got no justice and in fact the mountain continues on his path of killin' and rapin'. I wonder if he is going to have a gory death or if GRRM plans to off him by having him die of flu or something. Would be a typical way for George to kill off a character infamous for fighting  .Edit: oops got his name wrong it's Oberyn | ||

Would be a typical way for George to kill off a character infamous for fighting .i think what i found most shocking about oberyns death was that he seemed to be one of the few characters atually level or even ahead of the competition. he just gave the impression of being untouchable - which he kind of was, had it not been for his own certainty of it. quite ironic, come to think of it. he was far and away my favourite character from the moment he appeared, and to see him die so soon is probably the thing i hated most during the entire show. the red wedding was bad, but robb was in over his head for a long time and i didnt really expect him to make it very far. i really hope the boltons will become somewhat useful in fighting the wildlings now, because i like ramsay. arya and the hound arriving at the bloody gate (which is a silly name in my opinion) was my favourite scene from this episode. | ||

The editing was kind of poor, too much cutting away, and they never really made the Mountain seem dangerous until he actually got the kill. I think that including the bystander death might have helped display just how powerful the Mountain's strikes were, and the sun in his eyes to set up the kill would have been a nice touch from the comic, though I don't know if the polevault style impale is possible on a show budget. comic is in the spoiler: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_01_redux_web.png?w=600) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_02_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_03_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_04_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_05_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_06_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_07_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_08_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_09_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_10_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_11_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) ![[image loading]](http://mccomseycomix.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rv_12_redux_web.png?w=600&h=933) It was still pretty good, but could have been better. | ||

You like Ramsay? But, he's a violent psychopathic killer who delights in torturing/flaying people and has no honour o.O That's like saying you like the doctor in human centipede lol. | ||
