Don't get me wrong, I like him as a character and Pedro Pascal does a great job as him, but the showrunners have fucked around with so many characters/cultures so far (that whole fucking bit with the Ironborn and Ramsay as the most recent example) and the book had a nice approach to the usual expectation that you see in a lot of media.
Ideally they'll still have "you killed her, you raped her, you murdered her children" and "I smashed her fucking face in, like this" but I'm expecting Oberyn gets impaled or cut in two or something, don't want to ruin that pretty face after all.
We'll see. I'm a bit pessimistic because of some of their approaches so I'm expecting... basically nothing as of yet.

I'm guessing they're probably just going to roll all the Wildling attacks into one battle.hazabaza1 said:Sean Hollyman said:I guess we'll have to wait a week to see.

More than likely, yeah.

Sean Hollyman said:Now my question is this, do you think, on the screen they will show the final bit in all it's bloody glory? It's no stranger to gore so I think they could.

In the books he was sort of a saviour that became a frustration, but I can see them spinning him to become a villain in the show fairly easily as they're going currently.
I was shaking a bit reading it. Had to cover half the page with my hand so I wouldn't accidentally glance down.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Biggest wow in the books for me. Bigger than the red wedding even.

BloatedGuppy said:There's no way Oberyn lives. Mountain vs Red Viper is like the Red Wedding...it is an ICONIC event from the books. This isn't changing Vargo Hoat or switching Asha's name around for some stupid fucking reason. Throw in that casting for season 5 was leaked and we have 90% of Dorne in there (including three Sand Snakes) and it's very evident that entire storyline will continue apace.
I'm glad that I listened to the audio books because there is no way I would have been able to resist glancing down to other bits. That and the guy they had reading it was really good.Sean Hollyman said:I was shaking a bit reading it.

That can't happen, or they'd frak up what "A Dance with Dragons' is obviously leading up to.hazabaza1 said:Sean Hollyman said:I guess we'll have to wait a week to see.

It's not an issue yet, and won't be for at least 3 more years. Seasons 1-2 were direct parallels to Books 1-2. Season 3 was Book 3a, and this current Season 4 is book 3b, but because of the chronology of books 4a, 4b and 5, assuming they do one season per novel because of the amount of content, it means the next three (5, 6 & 7) will encompass those aforementioned books between them. They will shuffle the books around so something from book 5 might be in season 5 while something from 4a could be in season 6 for example.Fdzzaigl said:They'd better delay the production of the show significantly if they're starting to run out of content.
