Oberyn, stop speechifying and start stabbing! The mountain does not go down that easily! I knew his early lead was too good to be true. Plus I declared him my favorite character after the last episode, so based on that alone I assumed he'd be dead by the end of the season. But I let myself believe, dammit. For a moment I actually thought he would win. I adored him so much that I keep forgetting his death means that Tyrion is now condemned to death too.
Meanwhile it looks like Sansa is finally getting in the game, though she's in way over her head with Littlefinger. Ugh, what a creeper. He's just so...predatory. And smarmy. When she came downstairs in that dress, not sure if I was more unsettled by how he looked at her or how she looked at him. What are you playing at, Sansa?
I thought Arya's hysterical laughter at her aunt's death was the perfect reaction. I mean at this point, how much more absurd could her life be?
