[@amanimckenzie32]

​@@krishan8735 Doesn't make much sense for him to order Elia's murder. Her connection to the Targaryen regime was through marriage, not blood, she wouldn't be able to contest Robert for the throne. Her children were dangers to Roberts crown and it made sense why Tywin disposed of them. But Elia's death just caused a needless blood feud between the Lannisters and Martells. The situation with the Reynes and Tarbecks was different. They were bannerman to the Lannisters and they had initially rebelled against their Leige Lord. Tywin had put them down and would of faced no repercussions for his decision. Additionally, all the reynes were in the Westerlands and he destroyed them all in their seat of power, Castamere. The Martells are a house (on paper) on par with House Lannister (being direct vassals of the King). He also had no plans to kill the other Martells and displace them of their position and I very much doubt he could. So killing Elia Martell would of only made the other Martells pissed whilst gaining nothing from it. What likely happened was that Tywin ordered the death of the kids and did not directly tell Gregor Clegane to not kill Elia. In Gregors insane lust for murder he killed her as well.

[@krishan8735]

@@amanimckenzie32 you make a good point about Elia not being to the Targereyn's anymore, but I still think he'd ordered the murder of Elia. And the reason is, just look at the red wedding. He specifically made a point of going after Catelyn, and in the show, Robs wife. And again, I'd just site Tysha. His brutality and fear mongering is specifically to make a point. To intimate and to terrify people into obeying the lannisters. This goes all the way back to his childhood, with his father. Tytos was a man nobody respected. People laughed to his face, and blatantly took advantage of him, and humiliated him left right and centre. And the thing Tywin hated most, is when Tytos married a common woman. He saw this as such shame upon the name of Lannisters, and so to make up for this, when his father died, he had the woman stripped, beaten and walked naked out on the streets to show the world how beneath the Lannisters she was. This is how Tywin is, he rules specifically through brutality and fear because deep down, he's deeply insecure, and massively wants the world to see him and his family as undeniably above them. Hence why he is SO brutal, killing the Raynes even after they surrendered (and writes a song about this to inspire more fear, no less), having his men raid and rape in the riverlands during the war of the 5 kings, the red wedding, Tysha, etc. And hell, it's telling that he tries to ensure that Oberyn in the dark about Elia, but makes barely effort at all with regards to anyone else. Do you really think it'd be hard for him to stop the rumors from spreading in the first place?

Tywin needed to show his new King his allegiance. Wouldn't the alive Elia and her young children be a better offering than dead? Robert could choose what he wanted to deal with them. Tywin knew this too. I believe the mountain acted out of order.

[@seandlax9]

Yes and no. Tywin likely ordered the kids killed but Elia to be spared. Then the Mountain went full Mountain.

It truly felt like two brilliant men in a full blown contest of wits

[@wallacerose8663]

these two are fucking amazing. Put them together, and the result is perfection.

Pedro Pascal is damn good

[@House2017]

If the Princess Bride was ever remade, Pedro Pascal would be perfect as Inigo Montoya.

Did you watch the Zoom version w/ multiple actors doing short scenes from their own homes during the pandemic lockdown? 😅

[@zeeshanehtisham442]

Tywin Lannister was played so well i cant think of anyone else to play it....

[@DaBirdOfHermes]

I fucking love this scene, great acting from 2 great actors, portraying 2 magnificent characters…

[@paultoy9611]

An extremely interesting exchange between these two characters and great actors! Tywin got what he had coming although his character did show threads of some decent humanity(the Arya exchanges). Oberyn's death was needless and unlikeable.The Mountain with all his power and girth was no match for Oberyn in combat.Oberyn was killed because his overwhelming passion consumed his reasoning at an essential moment

[@jerome0929]

I mean Oberyn helped capture Pablo Escobar

[@CaribbeanCurrencyPodcast]

The dialogue in this show is rather amazing !!!
