FIRST TIME WATCHING Game of Thrones! S4E8 The Mountain and the Viper Reaction!

[@pearljammies]

So many congratulations to Lindsay on finishing chemo! cheers to her health!

[@Chess8548]

“I wanted justice” 😂😂😂😂😂 As Tyrion says “if you wanted justice, you came to the wrong place.”

[@cosmocoatl]

The story of Orson Lannister smashing beetles could be illustrating the seemingly random nature of suffering and cruelty in the world. It questions whether there's always a deeper meaning or reason behind such actions, or if sometimes things just happen without any discernible purpose.

[@bobdonda]

And sometimes writers write things without any discernible purpose.

[@leonrussell9607]

No, it was written to bash a critic who said bad things about the show, his name is orson and thats why orson lannister is "slow"

[@oldmanlethal8714]

The best part of this reaction is Lindsey saying she did her last chemo. Congrats kiddo!

[@andrewward5891]

They don’t really explain in the show but Moat Caelin is the gateway to the north. It can be held by a small garrison because it’s surrounded by swampy land. So Roose Bolton needed the fortress taken before he could move his army north. The ironborn were in rough shape because the locals (Jojen Reed’s people) have been picking them off with poison darts one by one. The commander was dying from poison when Theon met him. That’s why the other Ironborn were desperate to get out.

I like that Jamie said cousin when Tyrion said there was nothing that didn’t have its own word for killing. When Jamie was Robb’s prisoner he killed his cousin so it makes sense he’d think of that!

[@MugShotzReacts]

😬

[@AP-RSI]

Oberon was too arrogant and consumed by his hatred that he became careless!

[@ezmarelazela5008]

I believe he was trying to pick sides in the war...... That's why he wanted the mountain to admit that Tywin was the one that gave him the order. Then he could easily go against Them. Oberyn was a very intelligent man. I don't think it was just for revenge that he was so hell bent on hearing it.

[@MrHws5mp]

Congrats on finishing chemo Lindsay! I've been with people who've gone through that so I know how tough it is. You feel as giddy and energised as you like hon: you deserve it.❤ Having resolutely ignored it for four years, I finally gave in and watched the Oberyn v Clegane fight on KZbin, and that's what got me into Game of Thrones. What that tells you about me is a matter for you to decide...

[@rahilrameez8635]

If you recall in the last episode Tywin in the council meeting realises Daenerys is becoming a problem and is surrounded by two capable counselors, Jorah and Selmy. He sent that Letter to Divide Daenerys council from within, he did the same thing with Robb by sending Letters to Roose Bolton in Season 3.

[@Nichole-1989]

Congratulations Lindsay, on your final chemo treatment! I believe Tyrion's story about the beetles being smashed by their cousin was metaphoric. He never understood why innocent creatures (or people) had to be killed by those who held more power. I remember watching this episode for the first time and realizing Oberyn was about to lose. I said "No, he just punched all of his teeth out of his beautiful face!" And then when he smashed his head in like a watermelon, I just remember being completely mortified.

[@PJCLongbeard1979]

Hello lovely ladies! I know you filmed this a good while ago, but it's lovely to see the energy in Lyndsay as she reached the end of her chemo. I adored the cursing from Ashley today, she's usually more in control of herself, so the utter outrage was delightful. I'm enjoying this so much.

The point of the beetle story is how men in power can destroy things and not give a second thought to it as long as it's what they want. It's a curious thing.

[@morpheusjones4753]

The writers SAY that while Tyrion is faced with his probable death, he is contemplating why random brutal acts (such as the acts of the Mountain) occur in the world and equates Orson's 'beetle carnage' with the savagery of these mindless brutal acts. It is almost as if he was foreshadowing one additional brutal act by the Mountain that was similar to Orson...🤮

Not true, they named orson lannister after one of the shows critics, thats why he's "slow"

[@janeathome6643]

I feel the beetle dialogue was about GOT (and human history more generally). So much ultimately pointless killing, and Orson's compulsion to violence is a perfect distillation of that. Or Orson is GRRM. Also, more and more convinced that the weakling Robyn (bird's name) is the child of another "weakling [mocking]bird", Petyr Baelish. Jon Arryn was married multiple times without progeny, and teenage Baelish had impregnated Lysa successfully once before. Mockingbirds are in the same genus as cuckoos, and will lay some of their eggs in other birds' nests (evolutionary strategy/chaos is a ladder).

Poor Tyrion; talk about getting your hopes crushed. Too soon? Now you know why Pedro wears a helmet most of the time in The Mandalorian Notice the squire rubbing a piece of cloth on Oberyn's spear? It was being coated with poison. Remember the conversation between Tywin and Oberyn? Oh Oberyn. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never face the Dothraki in an open field," - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Clegane when death is on the line!

Congrats on the chemo news Lindsay, having a toast with this episode in your honour! Love the smirk from Steph at the 'chamber pots' line, though I half expected a look to camera and wink haha. The disappointment was short-lived thanks to the eyes at Ashley's 'The Mountain has to die." ***For Steph's' eyes only!*** I have a feeling that Ashley will call out several of the reveals, especially 6/1, 6/10, 8/5 (and I can't wait to see the triumphant look in her eyes)... But I think 6/5 might top her reaction to this episode. Right now the bet I'm having with myself is whether the couch is in uproar or silent after the credits to that episode.

[@SafetyinNumbers5628]

Woo hoo! No more chemo! Also, I love the glasses!

[@pearljammies]

The beetle dialog was pettiness by the showrunners, David & Dan. A critic named Orson wrote a piece on the series that they were bothered enough by to create that scene just to mock him.

Ashley in the post-episode discussion: "This is stupid..." 😆I love her. Once again I'll say that I completely understand how she feels about Littlefinger. So first of all, congrats Lindsay on finishing chemo! Very glad to hear it. Secondly, I remember awhile back she made an Austin Powers joke(I think it was about the Will Ferrell burning scene). Stef and Ashley were like "what in the world are you saying right now?" lol and Lindsay said something like "some people in the comment section will get that reference and find it hilarious." I completely forgot to comment about it at the time, but yes I DID get it and it was much appreciated. I got her back. I was reminded of that because in this episode she started singing the Mockingbird song from Dumb and Dumber, which my sister and I still sing to this day haha. Stef, I mentioned before that I would like to hear a little bit more from you on how you felt when you first watched certain moments and how you felt about characters. At the end of this episode you briefly mentioned how you felt when you first saw Oberyn die. I liked that and it would've been cool to hear how you felt about his character, how you thought the fight was going to play out, and just in general a little more commentary about how you felt about everything(plot, characters, scenes, episodes, seasons, etc.) both at the time and now. You could throw in some theories you had back then too. There's a few moments in the upcoming seasons that I especially want to hear all 3 of you dive deep into. Ok I'm done lol.

[@Obknoxious2000]

I always took the beetle story to be an analogy for G.R.R.M being the one smashing the beetles to no end and the beetles are our favorite characters or people in the book that we enjoy. As we all follow the story of ASOIAF with deep analysis and prediction….in the end of the day it’s just about Martin taking the piss and enjoying shattering our hearts and desires for the characters.
