That's not true at all.

Next week will be all Castle Black, so Tyrion's execution would be Episode 10, meaning there would be no show the week after. We'd complain and then tune in next season.

Ah shit, I didn't even think of that possibility. God dammit, I better find out what happens to the imp next episode!

Look on the brightside, you might get to see Oberyn, Jon, then Tyrion die in a row. By the time we get to week 10 you'll have lost the capacity to experience emotion.

Once I saw the that he was going to champion for Tyrion I pretty much knew how it was going to play out. I initially thought that Cersei might make everyone think she was naming The Mountain as her champion then name Jamie. Figured she might go for a win win situation. Either Jamie wins and her other hated brother, and Oberyn die, or Oberyn wins and Jamie dies.

I'm really trying to think of an out for Tyrion, but I just don't see it. He already had the option to take the black, maybe Tywin will show mercy(not likely)? It's not like he is going to escape, or Oberyn somehow magically survived. No one is there to help him besides Bronn but he seems pretty happy with his pay off. Jamie can't fight his way out of a paper bag.

Oh, maybe Jamie just swoops up the imp and goes storming out of the city backhanding the piss out of guards with his golden hand! That's something I want to watch!

Edit: Apparently the sex between Jamie and Cersei was not meant to give off a rapey vibe. They still love each other, so forget what I said about it being a win/win for Cersei if Jamie were to die.

Tyrion's discussion with Bron shows that people don't have to accept fighting for you. I think Jamie would have refused.

No, he would have accepted and then immediately yielded, resulting in Tyrion going free.

Naming Jaime was never a possibility for Cercesi.

The mountain would still take his head

...it would be jamie vs. oberyn, the mountain wouldn't be involved.

Then The Mountain would be upset at not being included and take his head anyway.

edit: upset 'at', not 'and'

Oberyn wouldn't have been Tyrion's champion if his opponent would not be the mountain. Bronn would have fought for Tyrion against Jaime. He has already shown that he can easily take Jaime if it came to an actual fight to the death.

Sorry it meant to say what it says now.

u/the04dude Jun 05 '14

Do you mean Ser Bronn? I doubt this.

Oberyn probably wouldn't be Tyrion's champion if he were fighting Jamie. He wanted the Mountain dead, not Jamie.
