  1. Are you forgetting that the Purple wedding is a different event than Tyrion's trials? Oberyn Martell certainly has a role to play in Tyrion's trials, but he is in no way instrumental to the wedding and reception. He is barely "present" at the PW. The only mention of Oberyn at the PW is Tyrion sees Ellaria laughing at something funny Oberyn must have said. That's it. The conversation between Oberyn and Tyrion while they were riding back to King's Landing was really great, but they could always take some of that dialogue and include it in their conversations while Tyrion is locked up. Jaime's presence at the PW will have an astronomically bigger effect than Oberyn's absence would have.
  2. Loved it, but am disappointed we didn't get the purple wedding. That event would have wrapped up the events at Kings landing nicely. All season they are talking about the wedding, they showed us the inside of the Sept of Baelor, and they really played up Joffrey's cruelty. The PW would have made so much sense. the Martells would not have been there, but they didn't have much to do or say up to that point anyway, other than the awesome conversation between Oberyn and Tyrion when the Martells arrive. Garland had some nice lines at the wedding that I would have missed, but they were fairly inconsequential. Everything was pretty well set up and the characters were in place for the PW. Now we have Jaime back in King's Landing prior to the PW, which will feel really weird. I imagine the show writers will find something awesome for him to do. They will probably play up how Jaime's grief over the death of his son. In the books when Jaime learns of Joffrey's death he totally blows it off, thinking to himself: "I have another son, and I can always make more with Cercei." My guess is that the show will change his reaction dramatically. Now that I think of it, getting Jaime to the PW is probably the main reason the show writers delayed that event. I'm fine with it I guess. I have actually like many of the changes in the show better than the book anyway.
