"that's what counts" ? According to who?
According to the real person in charge, Tywin.

I thought the opening part where the Viper was jumping and spinning with the spear was pretty freaking cool. I think the Mountain's choreography was subpar. Although there aren't a lot of quick moves a 400 lb guy can do.

As weird as it sounds I'm starting to kinda like Ramsey in a roundabout way. Granted I hope he dies a horrible and painful death when Theon rediscovers his identity, but he's not as innately bad as Geoffrey. Geoffrey knew right from wrong and didn't care. Ramsey seems to just have a severely warped view of right and wrong; at least in the show. I hear he's a lot more brazenly psychotic in the books.
That scene with him and lord Bolton really showed it. Everything he's done aside, he's still capable of respect and of feeling honored, and he cares about his dad's opinion of him. Makes him a ton more relatable, even if he is a sadistic bastard. Especially when you consider how equally fucked up his dad is.
The rules of the trial by combat. It's "to the death" and Oberyn was dead. That's why Tywin pronounced Tyrion guilty, the fight was over at that point.

I don't think Oberyn would have made such a blunder, which is why his death upset me more than most.
Dany was too trustworthy initially and lost Khal Drogo because of it.
Ned, too honorable, didn't appreciate the games that the Lannisters would play.
Robb - Too lusty, broke a wedding vow, didn't appreciate Frey's old age craziness. Overly confident from his field victories.
Joffrey - No explanation necessary.
Those main ones I feel were IN LINE with how the characters were portrayed.
Oberyn was an accomplished warrior, he led a mercenary company. He probably knew how dangerous a person could be even after being stabbed in the gut. Why would he be in a place to get taken down by his opponent and divert his attention from his opponent while so close? Makes no sense. Was complete bullshit imo.

I know. but in this discussion, it is what happens if the Mountain dies from poisoning in the fight?

I don't buy Dany banishing Sir Friendzone. felt forced.
I would have figured she'd forgive him. spying was in the past. would have figured she'd see that he is truly loyal to her?
To whom he was selling her out to is rather important.
Remember, GoT doesn't have a main character. Anyone can die at any moment.Tyrion doesn't seem to have any significance in the story line anymore. He has lost power and influence and perhaps he will be killed off...
