My theory was way off lol. The Red Viper, in part, got his nickname because it was said that he oftened poisoned his blade. One story I recall was a dual he had when he was teenager against a grown man, which was only "to first blood" because if his age, well his blade was poisoned and just a little slash ended up killing his foe. So I figured he was going to slash the Mountain with a poisoned blade and dance around for a bit till he dies.
This will really suck if Tyrion is executed! What a blow that will be. My only hope is that he gets off somehow. If the Mountain died too, or ends up dying from his wounds, shouldn't that be a tie? If both combatants die what are the rules then when it comes to trial by combat?

Initially I kinda compared the crushing of Beatles to The Mountain, since that's essentially what he does: his entire purpose in life is dedicated to killing countless smaller men for no apparent reason other than because he can. But that scene can be used as a metaphor for so many things. It's probably describing George R.R Martin himself. Why must he be so cruel and kill everyone? Because he can lol. Or Tyrion is simply pondering is there a point to all the savage killing in King's Landing / westeros.

Pretty sure it's whoever dies first is the loser, otherwise they'd be waiting for guys wounds' to get infected for a week and shit.
was just rewatching and realized Reek was doing his rhyme when the ironborn commander guy was talking shit to him and you could hear him muttering something.
Reek. Reek, my name is Reek.
Reek. Reek, it rhymes with meek.
Reek. Reek, my name is Reek.
Reek. Reek, it rhymes with freak.

nah that was written for the show. They don't really see each other much in the book.
I took it as a metaphor for the spontaneity of life. He spent all that time and energy trying to figure out why his cousin was crushing the beetles only to have him randomly die before he could figure it out. The viewer wants to know the answer and you don't get it because the reality is that we very seldomly get what we want in real life compared to what happens on television, the same way people wanted Oberyn to win, Robb to become king, Drogo to come to Westeros etc.
This was the end of the fight/chapter in the book if anyone's curious.
He never heard his father speak the words that condemned him. Perhaps no words were necessary. I put my life in the Red Viper’s hands, and he dropped it. When he remembered, too late, that snakes had no hands, Tyrion began to laugh hysterically.

That is awesome, I love that. That was probably my biggest gripe with the later seasons of Breaking Bad; the storyline started to go down the "get what you want paths" IMO.
That is great writing.

I think the whole beetle story was talking about george rr martin. They were talking about him killing characters for pretty much no reason. It was kind of foreshadowing oberyns death in a cheesy way and also referencing lysas death. Characters are the beetles and Martin is crushing all these beetles for no reason. Thats the only thing I could think they were going for... since it was their own original content and given their oc track record so far I can see this being the message. Kind of a cringe worthy nod to the show watchers
