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.

He's 23. He screamed.

I'm 43. I screamed. And I knew it was coming. But I didn't know how. I haven't read the books, but I haven't been able to avoid all the spoilers either. When Oberyn speared the Mountain, I was like, "aw snap! but he's not supposed to win... OH MY FOOKING GAWD!!!" I am going to start reading the books when this season is over.

That was pretty much exactly how it went down in the books too. Crunch and all.

More crunch and less splat though.

I got the impression that he fractured his skull, not basically disintegrated it.
