I imagine they'll be using Diana Rigg as a stand in for many of the other Dornian royalty in the books in scenes.

I thought the Tyrell's were Highgarden.

Yes, I had a massive brainfail.

Massive brainfail.

Still, I do think Diana Rigg will play a bigger / more common role than in the books.

Well, if she appears in the next two seasons, she will have done so because she's all but gone from the books at this point.

Hmmm Red Priests and White Walkers...Dany going to kill them all and own all the magic...

Yes, any further appearances from Olenna Tyrell will be original material.

So I'm generally going to avoid this thread for fear of book spoilers, but I just want to say that tonight's episode was easily my favorite episode of the entire series. The episode felt like it had a lot of passion behind it and Peter Dinklage's performance during Tyrion's trial was phenomenal and I think the best acting he's done in the entire series. Overall, I really loved the episode and can't wait to see what happens.

Darth. You should have stayed out of this thread

Yeah this episode was awesome, but it was REAL painful waiting to see if they were gonna do the trial by combat at the end of the episode or if they were putting it off until next week. Major cock tease.

I am worse. I ruined a girls day after she called me a very mean word at school. So I ruined the entire plot of game of thrones to her. MUHAHAHAHAHA

Damn that was some good Dinklage

Woops. I got mind frame lock on thinking Tyrion does the fighting. He hasn't much luck at all in fighting.

The Mountain wins the fight and kills the Red Viper. They "both die" yes, but the Mountain dies an agonizing several days later after being poisoned by Oberyn's spear.

Who is this red viper person you're all spoilering about?

I can't keep track of all the people in this show...

Really? Huh. Well I havn't read the books for quite a while, and the wiki doesn't mention the timeframe.

And everything delights him.

Maybe that Lannister soldier was onto something when he told the brothel manager to "go find a goat" for Oberyn.

I've been guilty of that at times

Not sure if there's been a better acted scene than that final scene this week. Dinklage and Dance out on a master class. Incredible stuff.

The Viper died and lost because he got cocky.
If he had just sticked to his orginal plan ie not letting the Mountain anyway near him he probably would have survived

Who says he got cocky? Maybe he wanted to die. His primary ambition was to find and force a confession from the mountain.

Totally wishlisting but I was telling my wife...

Spoiler:

That they are really setting the Viper's death up to be a kick in the balls for viewers this season. He is being portrayed as very likeable to the audience (cool, confident, reasonable, etc), which almost guarantees that his death goes down as intended.

Of course, my other thought was that they could really punch book readers in the nuts by excising the whole Mountain is a zombie thread and having the Viper win/live.

That would be cooler. It would be a twist and preferable.
