Even in actual ancient and medieval eras, they're good for individual combat, and godly in battle fronts. Good one of the ways Alexander the Great basically conquered everyone, with sarissas and the Macedonian phalanx formation. Well the 5 lbs would have to be distributed across, but I've handed actual blades but the blade itself wasn't like 30-40 inches so it was still at a point that's pretty easy to handle. I don't have a long rod, or else I'd love to try your experiment to simulate REALLY long blades  . Crazy medieval Scots and Germans and Gregor aside, there really is no need for a sword that large. It's unwieldly even if you are very strong. If you want a long weapon, halberds and short spears tend to work better imo.He escaped execution at the Vale due to trial by combat, but he didn't here. Maybe there will be something else to save him? It's hard to say, but some people or at least Jaime certainly don't want him dead by any means. Maybe with his authority as commander of the Kingsguard he can do something, but we'll see. Also, Tyrion is the one "voice of reason" character in the show. Killing him would break the show worse than almost any other character dying. Breaking the show cause of few deaths? Come on, I've already been broken by this show few times, but the show remains the same, it makes me sleep with thoughts how do I really hate Martin :D We have already lost seems like a dozen of key characters since season one. Some of those deaths were pretty much typical, but some others made a few scars in my mind P.S. I even had a bad dream tonight, where I was on Oberyns place at duel, everything was good, perfect and beautiful until the end, but the actual end was awful, so the death. It's good that I woke up eventually :D | ||

Or maybe it somehow becomes known that Olenna and Littlefinger were behind Joffrey's assassination and Tyrion couldn't have done it. Perhaps Margaery could talk? Yeah, I'm grasping at straws here. | ||

The first seems highly unlikely because of how much control Tywin has over Tommen. The second...maybe but I doubt it. It's weird because I feel like other people that Tyrion simply *has* to survive but I can't think of any way for him to do it. If I were to put my money on something it would be simply Jaime killing the guards outside of Tyrion's cell and perhaps paying Bronn or someone like Bronn to smuggle him out. Maybe to get that random black guy to smuggle him to Dorn or something. Be like 'Bronn I know you don't care any more, but for old times' sake just hook us up with this escape'. Idk though, it's quite the pickle. | ||

Maybe someone whispers into a good listener's ear that Tyrion is going to die. And maybe a good listener will send an expert smuggler, Davos Seaworth. It would be too awesome. Varys would help Tyrion by telling the right person of his problem, Davos Seaworth would smuggle someone and Stannis could only benefit from having Tyrion on his side of the story. Obviously since everything fits so perfect together, it won't happen. Also Stannis has nothing to gain from rescuing Tyrion, compared to the risk of losing Davos. reality is so cruel. | ||

I don't think the Mountain died. He suffered some injuries sure but he was in armor. He obviously fell on his back again due to injuries but I don't think he died. He might though, as a result of injuries and/or poison. Also, the fact that the Mountain died or not should not affect Tyrion's fate. The idea was trial by combat. I'm pretty sure that your champion dying in said combat implies that you are sentenced to death. No matter what happens to that other guy. The gods decided to kill your champion so you're screwed. | ||

So clearly Jaime is going to stage a daring prison break for his brother and the two of them are going to sneak out of the city inconspicuously. They shouldn't have any trouble blending in as commoners, neither of them are super well known individuals in Kings Landing or have any strikingly noticeable features like a golden hand or being half as tall as a normal human! Once they escape Kings Landing without incident they will make for the wall where they can both be safe from the rule of law. After all, the nights watch has stood for thousands of years, its not going anywhere any time soon! Along the way they won't have much trouble, Bolton's control the north now and Jaime has a great relationship with those people. But if they do get into a fight, Jaime's master swordsmanship should be more than enough to protect them and if it isn't, Tyrion always knows how to leverage his Lannister heritage to get them out of a pickle! Once they arrive at the wall they meet up with all the remaining Stark family members who all happen to be meeting up for a reunion at the same time! You see, Lady Brienne and Podrick met up with Arya and the Hound and they started a happy little nuclear family unit and headed to the wall to meet up with John, Rickon and Osha, Brann and Hodor (Sansa stayed with little finger cause she always sucked anyway). Brann Just came back from beyond the wall where he talked to some magical tree that blew up all the white walkers! In the chain reaction, about 99% of the wildlings were caught in the blast as well, leaving only Mance Raider, Tormund Giantsbain, and Egritte who proceeded to storm Castle Black by themselves, killing Alistar Thorn and Janos Slint before John was able to convince them to just join the night's watch instead. So anyway, Jaime, Tyrion, and Bronn arrive at the wall (oh I did mention that Bronn decided to come with them? I mean Tyrion is still insanely rich right?! Why WOULDN'T Bronn continue serving him!) and Jaime tells Brann he's sorry about that one time he pushed him out of that window and Brann forgives him because hey, it was all part of him discovering his powers. Anyways they all have a good laugh and become best friends. MEANWHILE... Outraged at the wrongful death of fair prince Oberyn, Dorne rises up in revolt against the crown! They join forces with Stannis, the Iron Bank of Bravos, Daenerys with her dragons and her army, Littlefinger with Sansa and the Knights of The Vale, whatever is left of the north, the Ironborn (who just finished wiping out house Bolton), whatever country Lady Talisa (Robb's wife) was from, and pretty much everyone else that Tywin, Cersi, or Joffery shat on over the years and march on Kings Landing, where the Tyrells let them in! Oberyn's identical twin brother Oberyn2 murders Cersi then proceeds to make love to... pretty much everyone. Loris Tyrell murders the shit out of Stannis and the Red Woman for what they did to Renly. Before the battle gets any more out of hand Davos Seaworth convinces King Tommin of Tywin's evil ways. His eyes now open, King Tommin declares Sir Davos his new hand of the king and orders Sir Pounce to destroy his evil grandfather! The bold Sir Pounce leaps off Tommin's lap and rips Tywin Lannister's head right off! Everyone cheers and the fighting stops! In order to ensure a long lasting peace, Tommin marries both Margery Tyrell and Daenerys Stormborn and is declared the pimpest king in the history of the seven kingdoms! The massive wedding ceremony is held not just for Tommin and his two brides, but also to celebrate the marriages of Jaime and Brienne, John and Egritte, Same and Gilly, Arya and Gendry, and Messandei and Grey Worm. Sir Jorah Mormont shows up to the ceremony to see Dany off, they talk out their problems and forgive each other, but Jorah is still stuck in the friend zone. Hotpie prepares the feast and The Brootherhood without Banners provides entertaiment, the highlight of which is a magic show where Thoros of Myr asks The Hound to come up from the audience and saw Berric Dondarrion in half with a flaming sword. No one dies (except Berric Dondarrion), but that doesn't stop Edmure Tully from making jokes about how "you guys think this wedding is crazy now... just wait till they play Rains of Castemere!". As the party winds down, Tyrion walks out to the edge of the party, drink in hand, and smiles at the spirits of Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon, Tywin, and Joffery who all smile back and laugh as if they were old friends... | ||

I would like this. Finally Stannis would be able to do something useful haha!!! However...I wouldn't like to see Tyrion in the same room as that mental red lady. I think fireworks could occur. Also, Stannis might not be best pleased about Tyrion if he discovers that he was the reason behind his forces being destroyed in Blackwater. | ||
