His bro Jaime: am i a joke to you?

@@MadMax-fs3cy The adverb "almost": Am I a joke to YOU?

@@MadMax-fs3cy it's totally different. Jaime is more brotherly love than recognition Something on the lines of "you're a dwarf, but i still love you because we're brothers" Oberyn was in total disbelief that someone could even consider tyrion something different than a human. In an innocent way he disregars the tales about tyrion in a "wtf thie is just a human baby" kinda way

humans can be monsters

@@carnivorous_vegan that's not really the point lol

Jame

“You were the only one, who didnt treat me like a monster”

+deviousfisher Tears in Tyrion eyes it was almost flowing in gratitude for Oberyn telling him he was just a baby, maybe Tyrion himself believed that he was a baby monster as he must have been told that lie.

agree almost, the first 4 seasons were great, then it went downhill pretty fast...

As a book reader I have to say the monologue was actually a lot more powerful in this context.

Until your brother made her stop. Just passes the line off as nothing but it is a deep statement for tywin to hear

@@Overlijden1995 True it was. Tyrion's incarceration in the show, was better than the book version. I prefer the books.But Jaime and he share multiple scenes. In the books its his uncle Kevan who visits. Jaime has no time with him until his escape.

And he did THAT?!

Eh, no, they went on record saying that his final scene was with Lena Headey in the garden. They said in the documentary that after delivering his final line, he jumped into the water.

@@Chiwalker "first" is the opposite of "final"

@@missbelled6700 Even Drogon can't burn so severely.

Why ‘FUN’ fact? I no find anythin’ funny here.

And it was then we should have known his fate was sealed🤣🤣 😭

called hubris, and got him killed in the end, he wanted his own justice

Revenge part Yes, but not the Tyrion part.

Then the next episode showed his brains

He’d have offered to be the champion of anyone fighting The Mountain.

*****, there are a lot of women (and men) in Dorne who agree with you! :-)

Best line of this scene for me!!

I feel the chill in my spine EVERYTIME. You can feel his hurt in his voice. I'm glad he got his revenge. He was never going to leave Kings landing alive either way with lannister soldiers everywhere.

@@GoldBanks60 I think he could've since Myrcella was still in Dorne and Cersei wouldn't have risked her life by taking Oberyn's. He wanted an all-out war though (if I remember correctly) so I don't know how that would've been feasible.

@@tomzhao6956 Exactly. He wanted to kill all the lannisters and maybe spare Tyrion. When he went to King's landing, it was basically a suicide mission.

I am watching the perfect show

This comment aged like Wine

Tragedy after tragedy after another tragedy. For what? To present us a misery nothing more.

Ain't that the truth

If you want a good ending, you chose the wrong showrunners.

To be fair Ned was basically the main character of S1, played by the legendary Sean Bean too. His shadow continued to haunt the rest of the series. Oberyn was a side character played by then-newcomer Pedro Pascal, which makes his memorable performance even more impactful imo.

Hell, the whole episode is worth watching at least twice more!

Docktor Jim bbl, rewatching the episode.

Still gives me chills.

Aren't all of them worth watching again?

and again and again...

avernikas dont even act like youre not just spoiling it

avernikas Is it just me who thinks Prince Oberyn looks like an Arab? He's got a very interesting character I think he would discipline the Mountain and remind him who's boss

avernikas Hilarious to see "speculation" from book readers.

MMH it's simply a general consensus that was drawn from the proofs there of; Oberyn's a poison maker, and the Mountain is seemingly bigger and stronger than Hordor.

avernikas Hodor is stronger, Jon even said that Hodor was stronger than wun wun

Jamie treated him very well, the rest of his family, not so much. Dornish people are very progressive, though.

If tyrion was in dorne he would have made it quite stronger, maybe won entirely the dorne was perfect for him in all aspects

@@masulubonak9275 Not everything in Dorne is perfect. As we can see with the sand vipers, they can be petty. She basically killed her daughters because Oberyn died in a honorable fight.

To be fair, Jamie had always been good to him. Excluding the Tysha business.

@@shadowbandit3975 not everything in Dorne is perfect, but Tyrion would have fit in well. Look at Oberyn and his mistress: That could have been Tyrion and Tysha. Tyrion's sleeping around would be tolerated, same with his drinking. And most importantly his height. Pity.

Still does after 8 years

it's more than just he words. the way he picks the torch up and the light flickering off his face it's just perfect

Not only this but also the music in this moment and the reaction of Tyrion make it epic

Me tooo

At this point in the book only Oberyn, Jaime, the Hound, and Drogo have a chance against The Mountain.

nine years ago? Hope you’re still there 😂

This would’ve been better if Overton won but his fate was already sealed in the books.

@@vileanduselessdeadworks6550 Nah, I'm glad he lost. If he won it would have been too much like a fairy tale. Also, whose Overton?

@@Arcanecide idk but it was a typo lol.

@@vileanduselessdeadworks6550 The problem with Oberyn dying in the show is less about Oberyn’s death itself and more about the fact that the show ruined the rest of the Dornish plot line. Oberyn’s death works in the books because there’s other interesting stuff going on with Dorne and the Martells. In the show, meanwhile, Oberyn was about the only good thing about Dorne.

If OVERTON won, tyrions character arc would be a lot less interesting since jaime would never tell him the truth about tysha and okay maybe he would still fight again house lannister fleeing to dorne to take up arms but I doubt doran would let him and OVERTON take up arms, you know how passive he is. Besides, tyrion still loves his family despite everything and wants to be a good man. But that thing about tysha was the last drop for him to turn into a villain. Without that, I doubt he would still fight against the crown. Tywin would still be dead I believe because OVERTON poisoned him. It's just a theory but it makes a lot of sense to me, how OVERTON kept talking about tywin might die, how tywin looked sick when tyrion saw him in the privy, and how his corpse stank in the sept. maybe varys would still be serving the crown instead of hiding in the walls and killing kevan. jaime might've marched against dorne instead of riverrun on the possibility that martells would take to the front with tyrions help. sand snakes would do things very differently to be sure, maybe aerys oakheart would still be alive and that means qyburn wouldn't have an empty seat at the kingsguard to place zombie clegane so cersei would be doomed to lose her trail against the sparrows and lose her head. who knows how that would affect tommen? also without the little skirmish in dorne maybe marcella would still have her pretty face intact and with tyrion on their side might be crowned as queen of the 7 kingdoms leading to an open rebellion. and so much more than i can think of rn. a great deal of things wouldve turned out differently for sure and its always fun to think about it and theorize.

Freakin' DINKLAGE!!!! YEARRGGHH! He's the best actor in the world! All the feels, and he just pulls you right in.

Agreed. There is a lot of talent in Game of Thrones. The supporting cast, surprisingly, is outstanding.

***** Pretty hard not to be impressed by the whole cast.

TheGamingSaiyan97 What do you mean by supporting cast? There really hasn't ever been a clear main character/ lead role

ThatGuyNamedTim It's the Peter Dinklage show. The rest of the people are just there for him to talk down to.

I agree. Season 4 of GOT is the absolute best.

You people really didn’t see that she was gunna die in the end. The song of ice and fire is literally the fall of the Targaryen dynasty. This is why you people aren’t writers 🤣🤣all you guys have are happy endings and once one isn’t it’s a horrible show or movie. People hated the breaking bad ending so bad that they made el Camino. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️house of the dragons is basically the same thing

@@skaoi2286 GoT's ending is actually wayyyy too happy to my taste, so I'm not sure we've seen the same one !

@@redasdu84 like I said it was the fall of the Targaryen dynasty that’s what was so sad about it as much as everyone wanted the prince that was promised it never came true. Jon was no prince or king since his family wasn’t on the throne at the time and also because he was a snow making Sansa queen and him still a bastard with no entitlements. You clearly didn’t watch Jon’s story if you think it was too happy 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

@@skaoi2286 You're not a very good troll you know. I think it's time for you to move on and find some new meat to play with cause it ain't happening here bro

***** +1

very tight, sadly we know Oberyn´s fate but he was by far the best character this season, but Tyrion has the biggest moments in the entire series this season so far

no way man! This was Tyrion's season. Nothing can beat Tyrion's speech. And you just wait for the next two episodes. You'll swallow your words lol

and the mountain stole oberyns eyes

@@TheCheezusCrust 😭

I agree... I started doubting whether the trial should be the episode given for Emmy consideration or this one. Trial had more emotional elements in it, while this to me felt somewhat deeper.

The trial was better by far. This scene seems huge to GoT fans because we're so invested in everything leading up to it, including tyrions history. But I think the trial could stand up on its own as a great scene, even if the viewer had never seen GoT

The pain in his eyes was real. I was actually kinda worried about him, whether he connected that speech with something real.

I don't think so, as his brother Jaime has loved him his whole life. I think he was tearing up because deep down, Tyrion has had some form of love for his sister, even though she's always hated him. It must have been difficult to hear that Cersei has always felt resentment towards him, and has always blamed him for the death of their Mother even when he was a baby.

Tyrion is in a bad spot. All of his "friends" had deserted him, the woman he loved has betrayed him and sentenced him to death. And his whole life everyone has treated him with resentment. Being so close to his imminent death has probably made him think a lot about this and feel a lot of self pity. Finally Oberyn walks in and hammers the point home that he was literally hated since birth and that his life is extremely unfair and unjust, that must have pushed him over the edge, hence him crying. Off course at the end those were tears of joy as Oberyn basically said that he was going to save Tyrion's life when Tyrion had already lost all hope.

I think it's kind of a combination of the build up from the story Oberyn just told him kind of making him feel shitty and reminding him of his lifetime of shitty treatment combining with the feeling of impending doom of the trial by combat with no champion. Then Oberyn kind of changed directions mid story kind of discrediting the world's treatment of Tyrion and then suddenly being given hope again by Oberyn's pronouncement to be his champion. It didn't feel so much about Cersei in particular, moreso kind of an emotional release after feeling like shit from a lifetime of being mistreated, recent events, and the story and Oberyn just relieved him somewhat after all of that negative build up.

You would be crying too if everyone you have ever trusted or loved had abandoned you to your devices and a reknowned warrior, one who may be a more skilled fighter than both Jaime and Bronn, one you absolutely never expected, took up your cause. At least that's how I read into the scene. His look of elation was priceless.

I think a part of it is that he's realizing that Cersei has hated him all his life. Hearing it from somebody else - that her hatred was so intense that she couldn't even hide it from outsiders - had to hurt him so much.

A. Clancularius My memory must be bad but where's the difference? Did he tell this story in another time?

A. Clancularius Yeah, probably. And yeah... I remember that in the books it had less emotion. If I prefer a scene in the series over the same scene in the books it's usually thanks to actor play, like here =]

Stfu

@@MRXDS1989 After you grow up.

Im a HUGE fan of the books over the series however some of the dialogue and screenwriting in the TV show are so superior in execution! End of the day we have them both and i'm glad for it!

Hogo69 best and the most impressive writing scene is the conversation betwern Tywin and Cersei's 2nd son

Of any show bro

General Doge for me the second most after Zoro

Even before season 4 of the show, Oberyn was my favorite character in all of the books.

And where is ned now???

In a box somewhere

Mars Fully Theon**. There is only Reek in this world now.

Who's Theon? I only know a Reek

Op Mario i think they meant the person who reek is going to pretend to be :)

FUCK NO

@Blackbeard This is GoT. Good and powerful guys must die. Apparently people love when justice falls.

And that was literally his (Pedro Pascals) first scene in the show. He is an acting force to be reckoned with

The 'Red Viper' is Honorable?, i suppose to a degree, just dont duel the man or you will taste his venom. lol

Ned wasn't that honourable though so not exactly a high bar

Even Ned condemned Jamie for killing his king and Tywin for murdering the children. But Robert was too hateful for Lyanna and Jon wanted to assure a peaceful transition of power.

@@oneofthosevoicesyouhear9044 why? he was honourable enough. Even dumb, at the end. Oberyn tho, using the poison when he could totally win, is not that honourable.

@@ConradKurze he condemned Jamie for killing the king, even though he knew what he had done and would have done to his people. He let Robert believe that Rhaegar raped his sister. He hid the truth of Cersie's infidelity causing his own death and Robert's. Not to mention getting Littlefinger to bribe the City Watch. Ned was hardly honourable. The only one with less honourable is Barristan Selmy

THE WRITING IS MOST IMPORTANT

“Somehow he thought she had some kind of love for him” we always project the values and qualities we hold dear unto others. Even the ones who don’t have any.

I don't think he expected that, but I think just seeing in Oberyn mirrored how ridiculous and cruel all the abuse and discrimination he faced were, is what got him.

I mean he just went on set and did THAT. If I was one of his co-actors I'd be terrified.

The whole freakin' world belongs to Dinklage.

Hey, Pedro Pascal (Oberyn) was awesome in this scene, give him some credit ;)

TheJeroenbrouwer Oberyn did kill it.

TheJeroenbrouwer Not gonna lie, kinda have a little bit of a mancrush for Oberyn when he nearly killed those 2 lannister soldiers

rayp526 I have a mancrush for Baelish. Dude's a PIMP. Wait. He actually was a pimp.

***** ah ha we shall just have to wait and see (smug book reader face)

Beware your comment will invite spoilers! lol

***** He is a master swordsman.

Yes he is, he dies a slow horrible painful death.

Aryan King You are obviously a child but old enough to 'Go Fuck yourself'

Who?

Cliohna People where complaining about Oberyn's casting and how his skin tone was not dark enough...

Blackt0ast Thanks, I didn't know that. :) Skin tone....complaining on a high level, isn't it?

I cannot imagine anyone else playing Oberyn (even though I've just started the books and currently reading A Game of Thrones ) and Pedro is a great actor. Also, Dinklange was just phenomenall ALL throughout, IMO, and his performance here (and during the trial scene prior) was one of his best.

Same deal with him playing Joel. Folks always were shitting on him before witnessing how much of a chameleon the guy can be, he can play almost every single role to perfection. An incredible actor like him is becoming exceedingly rare these days.

***** If you'd stuck to your first sentence I'd probably have given you +1 ... oh well...

***** I have never laughed so hard at a youtube comment before.

The mountain and oberyn both die

Fa Kinn Su Pah actually they both agree to a truce but only after the Iron Bank agrees to fund their conquest of the Jade Sea.

Fa Kinn Su Pah You did read the books right? Everyone knows that Oberyn confesses that The Mountain is his lover.

this is the way

Speaking of which, the Mountain must join Star Wars to have a rematch with Pedro

You'll love it even more when the season's over. Some serious shit will happen in the 3 episodes to come, better than the 3 past seasons by faaar.

I like stones~ we all have a heart c:

wonder if you still love it .d

@@serkandggan this Era of the show was by far the best tv ever written and produced but there is no denying that the two idiots who got to interpret the books completely destroyed the series the minute they couldn't copy and paste. Lol

I'm not quite sure if Tyrion interpreted it as if Oberyn was there to exact revenge on him in particular in that cell for him being a Lannister or that there's no justice anywhere in King's Landing

I always wondered if he was ok after that scene. Something about the pain in his eyes is just too real. I really hope Peter Dinklage and Pedro Pascal had a word after this scene. It must have been so tense to shoot this scene as the first one on set for Pedro

I said this to all the transformer fanboys out there. So they maybe realise what good entertainment really is

Octavius I love game Game of Thrones a lot, I understand everything about it and it's amazing. but I like Transformers too, because a lot of action and scientific machines and all that stuff is really entertaining and fun to watch too. But that's just what I think though :D

***** Twilight has less.

emotional explosions?

Well luckily Benioff and Weiss co-wrote the episode, so they can pat each other on the back.

selfpat?

Will Hobson Almost all if not all of the dialogue though is from the books. So they should rather pat George's back (I doubt he himself can do it).

Evija3000 I think the only material from the book this episode was the Littlefinger - Lysa scene and the Oberyn - Tyrion scene. Other than that it was all original dialogue.

Op Mario Original poster was talking about this scene not episode.

I hope it too. Oberyn is/was one of my favorite character in GoT and ASOIAF. But i think he will die. Just for the Storyline of House Martell. I only say 'Fire and Blood'.

I really doubt they are gonna do that, but indeed, it would be a welcome change from the books.

Johan Mendes Oh yeah. I agree with that sooo much.

they won't, the story would have to change too drastically

For christ's sake, I really had to read that even if I read the spoiler alert. Well damn it, enough youtube comments for today.

Tbh it made me tear up as well. What a great scene, the way Oberyn delivers that monolouge is masterful. Too bad these last few seasons have dropped off a bit.

+MikeHonchoHisself -- Oberyn was a good guy. When he said "I will be your champion"" I lost it lol

I'm so sorry for the last two seasons
