Game of Thrones (**possible spoiler for the episode just aired**)

His style reminded me quite a bit of Darth Maul with the double lightsaber, very Wushu influenced.

Now you mention it, yeah I agree. I almost fought Ray Park (Darth Maul) at a tournament in London. He was due to come down but his insurance company had fit when they heard about it so at the last minute he had to pull out

I felt the fight scene was a little rushed and a little one sided (most of the way through). Oberyn was good fighter but so was the Mountain. In the book the fight scene is far more balanced as their different styles clash (Oberyn is fast and cunning whereas the Mountain is powerful and heavily armoured).

I spent the entire scene hoping that they would change it somehow as I liked Oberyn but realistically I knew they could not :-(

However, the scene has inspired me to a buy a dragon tongue glaive and try Oberyn's fighting style out ... although I hope that the end result will be different.

Tywin (and his female incarnation, Cersei) got what he wanted. A shame, I actually liked the deceased, as much as I am partial to the Lannisters. That odious wall of flesh deserved to be put in the ground, for good. There's a saying, don't kick a man while he's down. Maybe, but a decapitation wouldnt've gone amiss.

You kind of just knew something would happen after all the Mountain is an absolute monster, in some ways it was like the typical movie scenario when you think the bad guy is dead and then BOOM! he gets up or grabs your leg. I'm with you on this one when they're down make absolutely sure they're dead or beyond a comeback.

All I had was this going through my head during the fight scene

Nah, the sentence was passed. Tywin isn't messing around. Tyrion is going to have to find another way out of it.

How long have you been watching Game of Thrones

LOL - Yes, I guess expect the unexpected is the order of the day with GoT!

[centurian]

I wasn't expecting that.

I loved the whole princess bride thing too.

[xoggoth]

Lovely head squashing!

[Bunk]

Yes, I wasn't expecting that.

Seeing as both are dead, I guess it'll give the Imp some wriggle room to argue his way out of the death sentence.

No, as I've read the books. But it was good, wasn't it? Pedro Pascal did the character and that whole scene in particular justice.

Might have already been done, but did anyone else have a surprise "holy tulip!" this weeks episode?
