My money is on Oberyn. Spears are pretty destructive against swords when you don't use a shield to defend yourself.

So im fine with Obryn dying, ven tho i lovd that character, what really pissed me of was Sansa, but it seems you dont interpret what happened the same way I did. When she says she knows what Littlefinger wants, she means herself right? So after the camera cuts, I was thinkin he gave her the D. And i dont like that. Sansa, whiny as she was, was a pure character, so innocent and "lawful good" Now she turns to chaos or neutrality in the blink of an eye, plz DM have a talk with her about that alignment change.

But most of you guys seem to think she only grew up and is now a strong, grown woman, ready to fight for what she wants, and that Littlefinger wants the Iron Throne. I hope you are right cause i dont like someone changing personality in an instant.

So tell me. Is she with Littlfinger now or can I look forward to the next episode again?

RIP Oberyn most awesome char season 4

I think the show put some hints on fighters value here and there.

I'd say ritght now the best fighters are the Hound (Mountain to lesser extent), Bronn (dare to fight the Hound and he admit he could have beaten the Mountain with some luck) and probably that Daario guy (which has showed to be quit badass so far).

Also Brienne has showed to be on par with 2 handed Jamie who, in turn, said only 3 or so people could beat him back then.

Barristan is also very respected but I don't know how to read the fact that he didn't fight yet in the show.

Ramsay seems quite fearless but it doesn't mean he is a great fighter.

Loras and Jon Snow are a bit overrated imo. Loras lost to Brienne in Renly's guard fight and Jon Snow was losing to the guy at Kraster's keep (who may have been OP tho).

Brienne beat a bruised, starved and tortured (for MONTHS) jaime who had his hands tied.

Bronn's entire speech was "fuck that i am NOT fighting him (the mountain)" he didn't "admit" he could beat the mountain with a bit of luck, he said "maybe i could" in the most unconvincing way possible, he did not believe it at all, it was just for theories sake.

Honestly I am not sure if she *knows* what Littlefinger wants or rather *thinks* that she knows. I remember him saying that he never wants to be figured out because it would make him predictable - that's the last thing he wants.

The motivation behind Sansa's character change is a very interesting thing for me too.

Either she really wants kind of a new "father figure" / protector and thus adopts more of his traits ( being manipulative, lying for her own needs, etc. ). The scene where she walks down the staircase definitely points out Littlefinger is truely impressed / infatuated with her.

Or she simply uses him to her ends - getting revenge on the Lannisters for example - because she figures he's one of the only people with enough brains and connections to make that happen. This would suggest she really has grown up and learned a lot from previous experiences.

Obviously we do not know her true intentions though. Hopefully we get more details about that in a later episode.

Loras, I think, is a great honorable fighter and jouster. He'd probably lose to Bronn if lives were at stake though. And Brienne beat him (Loras) in an honorable fight, but she wouldn't go "dirty" either, so would probably lost to Bronn as well.

Barristan used to be great, but now is old. He still could hold his own, but I don't think he is on par with the youngest one anymore.

Daario is a bit of a wild card, he has shown great skills but has yet to face a worthy opponent;

Mountain is a beast unmatched in pure strength, but has shown weakness againt technical fighters. I'd say he'll beat the Hound because of similar styles but more muscles. Bronn maybe could beat him, we have yet to see the full extent of his skills. Most likely not, most likely it will never happen.

Oberyn was the greatest of them all I think, but got his head smashed in, so, there's that. I think the look on Jaime's face was half happiness for his brother getting out (lol), and half awe, like "look at this fucking guy playing with the mountain". Not that easy to impress Jaime, even though he's a shit fighter now, he still knows what a great one looks like.

So, Mountain > Hound > Brienne > Loras, with somewhere Bronn and Daario. I feel Daario could match the Mountain, Bronn maybe Brienne, less likely the Hound.

This is game of thrones. If anyone gave anyone else the D we'd get scenes. So no i don't think he boned her.

Yes Bronn was clearly afraid of the Mountain but I think the fact he said he "could" beat him was there for a purpose (maybe the author wanted to point out that Bronn is quite a strong fighter despite backing down).

About Jamie I thought the hands tied thing was kind of an excuse from him when he realized he couldn't defeat her. If you notice from that point he starts to respect her (ok he loses the hand but still). Anyway I think that the whole Brienne story is about that despite being a woman she's one of best fighters.

Also Jorah may be a contender. Perhaps what happened with Daenerys in the last episode is just a narrative trick to let him fight someone in westeros (assuming he's going there).

I agree that Oberyn is pretty much the best out of the bunch. He confirmed his reputation for everyone to see, and I mean everybody. Stories of the Red Viper will go through all of Westeros. The warrior from Dorne who (apparantly) killed the mountain that rides.
He could probably walk through the kingsguard without a scratch. If you ask me.

Jaime was in chains for months, underfed not worked out, and was fighting with tied hands, it was hardly a fair fight in any way

Well, he is good, better than most for sure, but still far from being one of the best. Remember he's supposed to be 16, so almost no experience. Sure he looks great against rapers and thieves, but Qorin let him win, and that guy that cut Jaime's hand wrecked him. Same for the rogue crow in craster's keep. He'd be dead if it wasn't for the girl.

Edit : Oh, actually Jon and the-guy-that-cut-jaime's-hand (what's his name damnit) never fought, nevermind that. At least not when I thought they did

What about Aryas homie, the shape shifter? He might be a good fighter. He's definitely the greatest assassin. Right?

I mean it is all guessing at this point, but after watching the scene I wasn't under the impression that she and Littlefinger made a night out of it.
