Isn't this like the third actor to be playing the mountain? It's gotten real hard to take Gregor Clegane seriously in this show, which is a pity because his very mention is supposed to inspire fear. Yet whenever we get to see him, all I can think about is "who the hell is that?". This latest iteration actually reminded me of a big cuddly bear (compared to the last 2), even though the scene they introduced him in had people being sliced up by his hands.Originally Posted by Death BOO Z
I actually felt the same way. He looked like a cute lumbering idiot, much like a teddy bear.
Peace.
He does look like a big bear, with emphasis on big... the dude is 2.05m(6' 8") tall and weighs fucking 183kg (403lbs)

He is 2 years younger than me. WTF.
Peace.
I legitimately could not remember when we were supposed to have seen him before. I'm not sure the Mountain was ever mentioned by name while he was on screen at any time prior to this. He's felt consistently like someone talked about all the time but never really shown.
He fought in a tournament in the first season. He killed Ser Hugh of the Vale.
And he showed up somewhere else, but I don't remember. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/...and_Gregor.jpg
"After all, I am strangely colored."
Yeah, I remember the first actor from when he sliced off the horse's head. The second time, it was a different actor when Tywin was having a strategy meeting at Harrenhal about how to deal with Robb Stark.
That's the thing, he does look a bit young. Certainly not old enough to be the Hound's elder brother.
yep, only the first actor looks scary (or looks like he has a bit of personality). the last (and seems like 'final', as I don't think he's going to live past prince sex) looks like a generic first level boss. the kind that shows up as a mook in later stages.
Heh, cute :P

God damnit... no episode this sunday because of some holiday shit?

Yeah. Well I am going on an anime convention so it is convenient because I won't miss it. Probably the reason.
Peace.
Memorial Day in the U.S. I think they skipped a week last year too.
Yeah, Memorial Day might be one of the more important U.S. holidays...but it is on Monday. The U.S. really only has about seven major holidays (that most people get off of work). Four if you're stringent. Memorial Day weekend is all about retail sales and barbeques. Doesn't mean anything changes for Sunday night.
I guess they just assume people are traveling to visit family, parades, memorials or whatever.

People like me who will be doing something else the entire weekend will not be able to watch it if they air it.
Peace.
A lot of people will be drunk Sunday night as well instead of just Saturday night.
edit: Just started season 3, saw the episode where Jamie loses his hand. I had forgotten how that happened in the books, kept thinking Brienne would do it out of anger at him.

Poor Jorah just cannot catch a break lol
The Hounds reaction and Arya bursting out into laughter when they got told Lysa was dead was amazing
And then we have the ending... Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Oberyn disappointed me. An experienced fighter would not have been killed that way. Even MMA do not make such mistakes. Always ensure that the enemy is incapacitated. He ridiculed Tyrion's lack of fighting experience, only to be killed by an error that screams immaturity.
It was a fitting end for him though. He was whimsical and careless. No matter how much skill you have, you will die with such qualities in battle. I really liked Oberyn. It is unfortunate I am disappointed yet again (as always with many other characters) by his stupidity.
Peace.
The way Oberyn kept on talking/shouting at The Mountain/Lannisters, he went full Inigo Montoya lol
He did indeed fuck around and take way too many risks but i guess since this fight was so incredibly personal to him his feelings must have been going into overdrive and messing him up.

it was so silly seeing how they switch between the obviously skilled body doubles doing the choreography and between the sloppy editty scenes with the actual actors. I would have believed it more if Oberyn would have suffered some injuries during the battle itself, make it seem like an even match, and have the blood-loss & andernaline cloud his judgement.
I'm not sure what to make of Arya's reaction, maybe she's laughing at the hound (for going this far and still not getting paid), but I feel as if she's laughing at herself. she's starting to see the pattern here, every time she gets close to someone, there's a killing. she really should go to killer school, it seems less deadly.
