Plus, in previews for this season and next week, we keep getting glimpses of The Mountain. Also, in the season preview, there's a shot of Oberyn in some sort of battle where's he's pulling off some acrobatic maneuvers. I'm not sure how the logistics are going to work out, but it seems pretty obvious that the trial by combat is going to come down to Oberyn vs The Mountain.

Exactly. It'd be like taking a boat from California to New York. Doable... just a very long way to go.

The previews have taken a little bit of the mystery out of it, if you have followed them closely since before the season started. But, there are two things you need to ask yourself: 1) who is the one man that Tywin will call on to champion for him? and 2) who is the one man that Tyrion will call on that will not turn down an opportunity to fight the man that Tywin will no doubt call on?

Are you kidding me? The last 5 minutes gave me chills. I never read the books, but it's so obvious, and so genius what Tyrion has up his sleeve. It's going to be epic.

I usually have to watch each episode twice to make sure I pick up on all of the dialogue, but overall it's not very hard to follow. It's not calculus :-) To be honest, I'm glad I never read the books so I can truly enjoy the show as it's own entity. Plus, I have too many books in my queue as it is.

Isn't it?

Awesome. /sarcasm

I can assure you, we're not.

I usually am not very nitpicky, but that line really stood out to me as well. Then, I tried to think of another way to convey her thoughts and felt like something else could have felt too contrived.
