When Oberin screamed.....that got to me

[dang] it. I liked Oberyn.

Me too, buddy...



Me too. 

"My name is Oberyn Martell... you raped and murdered my sister... prepare to...*head explodes*"

That was gruesome.

pretty much. also had me shaking. poor tyrion crushed hope.

[Moranis]

I knew it was coming and it was still gross. 

[Celtics4ever]

If I recall in the books he simply punches him in the face with an armored fist and kills him.  TV was much more graphic.

The blood is just beginning to flow.  There will be at least 3-4 character deaths in the next two episodes.   Some of them major two.

Only 10 eps a season drives me crazy, or the fact we have to wait a year for the next set of episodes. does anyone know why it takes them a year to deliver?

I'm pretty sure they are worried about the show outpacing the books.

Well that and it is by far the most expensive show on television with the massive cast, 6 or 7 locations all in vastly different parts of the globe, and all of the CGI that is required.  Plus since they don't have commercials, they get a solid 52 minutes (or whatever) of actual show, which is about 12-13 minutes longer than your typical hour long show, so the ten episodes is 520 minutes, which equates to more like 13 or 14 regular shows.

Plus it is HBO, they have 4 staple shows all of which air once per year (all of their other shows also air pretty much once per year as well).  It is the new thing to do on tv.  It in theory makes shows better because they don't have to have all of this extra filler nonsense just to fill in the season.

Wallace's death was worse...


Edit: Too many Wire spoils. Some still haven't seen it, despite it being the greatest series ever.

If you haven't seen season one of The Wire at this point, then I don't know what to say to you.

[KCattheStripe]

Can we all admit that as traumatizing as any GoT death is, it still pales in comparrisson to Wallace's death in The Wire.

Is this the death you are talking about?

because the death i saw tonight has me shaking as i write this now. I don't know why, I have seen normal amount of tv deaths. I think it just seemed so real, and the humanity of crushing someones face in and the pain that was caused....scares me. It makes me think "that has happened sometime in the history of the world"...and thats scares me

Has nothing to do with the mode of killing, but the human drama behind it.

[AngryAndIrritable]

GOT seems to be raising the bar in terms of nasty death... first Joffrey, although nobody was overly concerned about that  then Oberyn's exploding head. Even the dog winced in our house when that happened.

[McHales Pits]

Poor Oberyn ...

I don't have much sympathy for him though. He broke the #1 rule in a "Until Death" fight. Don't be a showboat - just finish your opponent off.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Oberyn got consumed with his hatred.

Should have killed the Mountain, Red Viper...
