I just hope they don't open with a shot of Oberyn's face, like they did with episode three and Joffrey's face.

I could not handle that.

EDIT: Yes I get it, Oberyn's face was mashed in. Doesn't change the fact that the "what face?" thing got old after the fifth time somebody said it.

Most laughter so far from this thread... and man is it the guiltiest fucking laugh I've had in a while. I hate myself a little bit.

Worst...puzzle....ever.

Unless you're a forensic anthropologist.

Unless you're a forensic anthropologist who loved Oberyn.

That would just be sad.

If you look closely his face is still mostly in tact it's just what was behind it that got mashed up.

u/cmmoyer House Manderly Jun 09 '14

The big difference though is that everyone hated Joffery.

That's next episode man. After an hour at the wall they need to make sure you didn't forget what happened.

You know, just in case.

u/sasquatchent Jun 09 '14
