Last night's episode was a 3-dimensional mind screw. My heart sank.

Book reader here, too, and I get off on my husband's shock when stuff like that happens in the show.

Do I need therapy for that? lol

I hope not because I do exactly the same with my friends, having read the books as well

Last night was intense!! I turned my head away right when The Mountain popped Oberyn's head like a water balloon. I couldn't look. I loved the episode as a whole. They always go waaay too fast.
And seriously, can Sansa and Arya please meet up?? Can we please have a Stark reunion soon?? Cuz it's killing me! If The Hound & Arya move on without finding Sansa, I don't even know what I'll do with myself...

I will miss that actor. He did such a good job.

And he's hot. :-P

for real.

While reading the books, in my head that was not Oberyn's voice, so all I kept thinking was...

OMG I was the same!!! hahahaha.

Mr_Excitement

I'd read the book, but the scene still shocked me. :P You never hear the cool, heroic character let out a blood curdling scream of terror and agony, you know? It was seriously disturbing.

Pipsg1rl

This is making me want to re-read the series. Again.

I feel the same way...

LilynEdensmom

I've read the books...but there is just something about seeing it...Like the red wedding I knew it was coming but I watched it with my mouth open the whole time..I'm glad dinner was still cooking while I was watching the battle...geez this show likes to mess with you..And after reading the last book I need serious therapy,

Me too!

I was rather deflated last night though, after the episode I asked my husband what he thought might happen next and he guessed the next two major events correctly. I hate losing my edge

redversustheblue

I haven't seen the episode yet, but I know what's happening. I'm SO excited, but also so sad about the death.

I'm just worried about Tyrion now. I haven't read the books

How it went down in the book.

“Elia of Dorne,” they all heard Ser Gregor say, when they were close enough to kiss. His deep voice boomed within the helm. “I killed her screaming whelp.” He thrust his free hand into Oberyn’s unprotected face, pushing steel fingers into his eyes. “Then I raped her.” Clegane slammed his fist into the Dornishman’s mouth, making splinters of his teeth. “Then I smashed her ****ing head in. Like this.” As he drew back his huge fist, the blood on his gauntlet seemed to smoke in the cold dawn air. There was a sickening crunch. Ellaria Sand wailed in terror, and Tyrion’s breakfast came boiling back up. He found himself on his knees retching bacon and sausage and applecakes, and that double helping of fried eggs cooked up with onions and fiery Dornish peppers.

I made this for facebook..... but I'll just leave it here too.

We will see if this works as I am on mobile.

It was rough to watch even though I knew it was coming. Sometimes that show can be a bit emotional.

AddieOverhaul

I was watching on my laptop and had to put my hands over the screen for that part. Way too gory for me to watch - but I love the show and will keep watching.

I've read books 1-3 and the first half of 4 - but it was quite a while ago and it's got to the point where I don't remember what happens next. i can't decide if i want to go home and binge read or just watch the show and read it later.

shmerek

I knew he was going to die but i was sad all the same, such an awesome character.

LiftAllThePizzas

I can't wait to see how they portray my favorite chapter so far, the one where Dany rides in on the dragon and burns down half the red keep, allowing Tyrion to escape in the chaos and killing off all the other Lannisters in one scene. Plus Dany getting shot off the dragon. I wonder if she survives. What a cliffhanger! Man that is totally gonna blow peoples' minds when they watch that because who would have seen that coming!

I knew it was gonna happen. Damn him.

SoDamnHungry

this is what I mean, since you read the book and already knew what would happen, did you really need to see it? also could not the point have been inferred?

I just don't know what happened to withheld image in storytelling and film. Sometimes does it not seem gratuitous, or just for shock value as hinted above? Does that ever just turn you off to a show? To me it often does.

I'm just wondering if any of you think withheld image would have been a better tool in this scene?

Since YOU read the book and knew it would happen... A lot of us haven't read the books so that point is a bit moot. The majority of the viewers haven't, I'm sure. But it was a little gratuitous. They could have done it from another angle and then shown the aftermath (like they did at the end). I wasn't surprised at what they showed as it fits pretty well with the show, but I totally covered my eyes.

HA HA!! I thought I was thee only one. It's been killing me. Thank you!

sugarlemonpie

Saw that coming because I have read the books, but it was more disturbing to see on TV than to read it!

Some neat storylines coming up though. Want to see the Sand Snakes.

As a book reader I knew it was coming. But seeing it...ouch.

I think Martin would just name a character after you, make them really likable and then kill them as revenge for that bill.

Love the Jaime/Tyrion interaction! Jaime Lannister is one of my favourite characters....I know, me bad. But he rocks. Sansa can do a running jump as far as I am concerned though.

Sansa is freaking useless. And not nearly as clever as she is in the show!

And lol at all the ppl that feel sorry for Tyrion.... But where do the *kitten* go Tyrion?

kota4bye

Some of you sound like you'd be better off watching something from CW or Disney Family.

HBO is doing a fantastic job with this series, I love that the violence, sex, and gore are carried over from the books.

Can't wait to see the Mountain suffering from his wounds!

Did you ever see the Knights of Badassdom? There's a very good reason why Tyrion is always clamoring for his trial by combat....
