Oberyn is the best new addition to the series. I can't wait until he faces up to The Mountain, but until then, i'm just enjoying his appearances on the show in general. His facial expressions & behaviour during the trial were quite funny (and very well done), not to mention his question to Shae. Peter Dinklage was excellent in this episode - he & Jack Gleeson are the finest actors of the whole show. Charles Dance is excellent, too.
I know it is just a matter of opinion (this is in response to Dany's scene with the man who had his goat killed), but why is everyone so eager for the show to just get to the point? Let's just enjoy the ride, surely. To a certain extent I agree, we don't want 'filler' episodes, but I do think that scene was totally useless - it showed she has a chink in her chain, & ruling over so many people won't be as much of a cakewalk as she thinks it is (and has been, so far). She's learning that with every action comes a good & bad consequence, whereas previously, she could do no wrong. I think it was important. People on this forum were crying out for her to have a bit of a hurdle to climb anyway (for a very long time), perhaps this is the start of that hurdle? Maybe i'm reading too much into this, though. Just my thoughts.
I assume Bronn will fight for Tyrion, but I doubt Tywin will risk his own son, Jamie, in that trial. Perhaps i'm wrong though, as the night's watch plan seems to be going down the drain, which could affect whether Jamie goes to Casterley Rock after all - or am I wrong? Does he go anyway, regardless of the outcome?
Oberyn.
