I disagree. Oberyn was just intended to be the introductory character to House Martell, and next season we will learn that the bigger players in the game are other members of his family. Kind of like how Loras Tyrell was the only Tyrell in Season 1 and then we gradually learned that the women in that family pull the strings. So Oberyn was always disposable. GRRM is great at tricking people into believing that some characters are more important than they really are. And that's what I love most about his writing. And I disagree that GoT works in inverse. There are so many characters like Brienne, Tyrion, Dany and the younger Starks whose good deeds have helped or saved them someway or the other. GoT is pragmatic and favors those the most who have the most pragmatic mindset like Varys, Littlefinger and the Tyrells. These people are the ones who find the best balance between naivete and blind egotism. If you are too much of an arrogant imbecile like Joffrey, you lose the game. If you are too cocky and showy like Oberyn, you lose. If you are too stubborn and clueless about playing the game like Ned Stark, you lose. If you are too hardheaded, impulsive and not willing to adapt to changing scenarios like Catelyn and Robb, you lose. The characters who are too close to either extreme of the black and white spectrum will never win this game. You need to be shades of grey in order to triumph. And more importantly, be smart about it.

Lol can't unsee that now. Btw, that is Penelope Pitstop from the Wacky Races, a Hanna-Barbera show about.. wacky racers (in case you didn't know). She was the only female racer on the show so obviously she was in pink and uber girly. Her car was called the Compact Pussycat. It was made to look like an ugly fish faced drag queen and it had all the cosmetic utilities possible. -

So Pink was the only girl originally? Btw Honey Lemon's design also reminds me of another lone token female in pink. -

Yeah, the girls do look Power Ranger-y, especially since Yellow is of Asian origin just like in the original show. OMG Yellow = Asian! -

OMG, Fred looks like a deformed three-headed Minion! The others look great in their suits! Can't wait for a clearer look + a look at Gogo, Honey and Wasabi in their civilian clothes. -
Lol at the unnecessary changes/speed up made to the Sansa storyline. As I said in the TV thread, her making her true identity known screws things up for the relationship between Petyr Baelish and the Lannisters. It will be HIGHLY unconvincing if everyone in The Vale decides to keep mum on the fact that they are harboring a suspected co-conspirator in the murder of the King, especially when their own Lady Regent was killed under mysterious circumstances. Word has to get out to King's Landing one way or the other, no?

Yup, nothing can be worse than the Red Wedding. It was a great sequence. Oberyn, we hardly knew ya. Lol someone went fast forward crazy on that Sansa storyline! Now that she has made her identity public unlike in the books, what will stop King's Landing from attacking The Vale or blackballing Petyr as a treacherous traitor? Or will everyone in The Vale go Spider-Man 2 "Don't worry, Sansa, we'll keep your secret!!!"
