Game Of Thrones

Oberyn died first.

Also, did you not hear tywin afyer the fight proclaim that the gods have ruled that tyrion shall die

Yawn!

Yawn!

When you go out of your way just to say something like this is boring, you're just being an attention whore, and that's all. The end. "Look at me, look at me, I'm so cool and above it all!"

No one is impressed. If you don't care about something, don't make a comment that you don't care. Just don't comment at all.

This maybe didn't come across in the show, but the Mountain isn't actually dead (though he may yet die), just badly maimed.

I thought he died.

Spoiler

I heard somewhere he was poisoned and I thought that was the reason he fell. Maybe it is later. Maybe I heard wrong.

I still get the shivers when I remember that scene.

Well, I guess that settles.

You didn't hear wrong. Oberyn's weapons were coated with poison. But it'll take a little while.

2. What the hell was the point of Tyrion's beetle story? Is this something where he's going to have an epiphany before the end of the season and tell us what that meant?

I think it just shows that it drove Tyrion nuts because he couldn't figure out why his cousin was killing beetles. He was "simpleminded" and Tyrion pretty much thinks he's Kickyass and knows everything but couldn't figure out why his metal cousin was obsessed with such a thing. It drove him nuts no knowing and after his cousin died, it drove him even more nuts because he will never know and will take that wonder to the grave.

It's a beetle conspiracy man... "The others" are really just a big pack of ravaging beetles. That simpleton was the only one that realized it.

Here's one of the showrunners talking about the beetles:

He opined that the writers did a "fantastic job" with the scene, but to me it was definitely a little too bewildering as to what the relevance was.

It could be to show brothership between Jamie and Tyrion but we have already been through that and at some point I thought they were talking about The Mountain. It did not shed some light into Tyrion's character either. I think writers just thought it was cool and added it.

Yeah, I really think this was an instance where something made a lot of sense and had a clear connection in the heads of the writers, but it actually just isn't as clear as they all thought it was. And perhaps worse, they spent nearly four whole minutes just on those beetles. Four minutes is a lot of time for a TV show. I can't help but think that there was a shorter and clearer way to convey what they wanted to convey.

Judas priest, that was so bad.

Nice find.
