Good shit..I saw the 20 something minute running time for the last review and was wondering why they spent such little time on such a major episode
This week's episode is going to be like another blackwater? I'm on the road I'm gonna miss it.
Reading about Trial by Combat these are possible inspirations for GRRM Oberyn vs Mountain fight.
The unrest of 1127-28, when a man called Iron Herman accused Guy of Steenvoorde of killing a count. Both men fought for themselves, and Guy seemed to have the upper hand, at times toying with Herman. After a long combat, Herman lay on the ground, seemingly done for. But when Guy moved to deliver the final blow, Herman grabbed his testicles in one hand and pushed him away with the other. Guy had his "lower parts broken apart," and admitted defeat—and was thus convicted and hanged.
In the 1150s, two nameless champions faced off to resolve a dispute between Stephen of Massy and the monks of Saint-Germain-des-Près. The monks' champion ended the duel by gouging the other man's eye out.
Audition tape for one of Oberyn's daughters below, some chick from the show Lost ?

ya that's what got me hooked into the series...that opening scene in the 1st ep
I think Tyrion will get off. My guess is that his case depends on the Mountain living or dying and that there will be a storyline of Cersei trying to keep the Mountain alive, but Obeyron's poison will kill him. There HAS to be a point of them showing the squire coating Obeyron's spear with poison.
I really wish the book readers would just stop with the hints and spoilers. It didn't even cross my mind that the daughters would want revenge and now I KNOW its going to happen.
People take Game of Thrones way too seriously

From the show description for tonight, looks like we're heading to the Wall and some mystical magical violence in the cold with Jon Snow. Hope they wrap up Tyrion's fate too.

My hopes for the rest of this season:
-More naked Missandei
-Some sort of Stannis progression
-Brandon finds that fuckin bird
-Ghost kills Ser Alliser
-Robin Arryn to die
-Cersei to die
-Daenerys to die (unlikely)
Where did the boltons arrive? On last ep
