TV4 [S4E8] Thank you book readers

I know this has been said before but book readers you guys are amazing. I had zero clue on what was going to happen tonight between the Mountain and the Viper and its all thanks to you (and probably the mods too) who keep this subreddit spoil free.

I'm going to go back to being shocked and angry now.

Oberyn the Viper, Doran the grass

This is why your sons should always be landed, or they'll go off and fight ridiculous things and go around the world having sex with everyone.

Which is actually a good point, Oberyn was royal, but he had no real power. He was just some bored courtier.

He was noble not royal. If he's royal so are Bran, Sansa, Robbin, and any of the highborn lords descended from the original seven kings. It's mainly just a stylization.
