The setup scene with Oberyn and Tyrion was fantastic. That may have been an even better emmy moment for Dinklage than last week. I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to watch the trial by combat. That's always been the hardest sequence in the books for me. Ned's death and the red wedding were both spoiled for me before I read, so while they still had impact they weren't unexpected. I had no idea what was coming with the trial. Oberyn is such a fantastic character in the 3rd book, and it's written so he's winning, so when the mountain grabs him and just destroys him it was the worst gut punch for me. And it was hard to get myself to even read that part in ensuing read-throughs.
Should be some classic social media at the end of the episode in two weeks...
