4815162342 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Never read the books, but did the Mountain live? Tagging since they may address some of this in the finale: The wounds in the book were not fatal, but they were inflicted by a poisoned blade. The Mountain is intentionally kept alive for most of the fourth book by the exiled Maester Qyburn (the one who came to King's Landing with Jamie and Brienne) so he can do experiments. Eventually the Mountain is reported to be dead. Edited June 2, 2014 by Numbers of House Stark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) The sansa storyline is realistic though.It would make sense for sansa to ally with littlefinger.If littlefinger died who knows hat the lords of the vale would have done.

Lordmandeep Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Prince Obyern was still winning the battle, it was he played his hand to far and forgot the Mountain is no noble warrior. If lets say he fought Ned Stark, Ned would not have used that trick in the end as Ned was beaten in battle fairly and he is "honourable". That is what I like and dislike about Game of Thrones...Doing the right or ethical thing does not always led to positive result however the author makes it seem if your not some selfish pessimistic douche bag your going to die quick.

There was no trick or cheating there. The Mountain had been temporarily incapacitated and Oberyn was spending too much time gloating and strutting around so the Mountain was able to summon one last burst of energy. It's not dishonorable at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 NSFW And still not as gruesome IMO as the scene in Hannibal where the guy escapes the human mural by having to have flesh ripped off several parts of his body as he pulls away from the stitches.

#ED Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Please do not post any gory deaths without using spoilers. Although the series is rated M, it's best we keep it work friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that, but it boggles my mind how anything more disturbing than Oberyn's death could be allowed on network television (and with a TV-14 rating, no less!). Seriously irresponsible by the FCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously irresponsible by the FCC. It's probably less gory and bloody overall, but it's definitely more gruesome and disturbing IMO since it's a drawn out affair with close-ups of the skin and flesh ripping off.
