Well, to be fair, Oberyn Martell dies in similar fashion in the book. The show made the fight far quicker than the book, and Martell's death is more gruesome, but i think it was done better than the book.I figured Tyrion wouldn’t get off that easily but I’m a little tired of the writers/director making sure anyone who shows an ounce of nobility goes out like a little beyotch. <o></o>
I hate the way Rob & Oberyn were handled on the show, not that they happened. Oberyn's was gruesome, but also goofy.
Do you mean the way their deaths were handled, or the characters in general?
I think his death was done a bit better on the show than the book. In the book, if I remember correctly, Oberyn dies by having his face crushed in when the Mountain punches him once in the face. He dies really quick after having bested the Mountain during a fairly long fight. The show does cut the time down.
I figured Tyrion wouldn’t get off that easily but I’m a little tired of the writers/director making sure anyone who shows an ounce of nobility goes out like a little beyotch. <o
More like being in the story gets you killed, but being honorable gets you killed faster.
So does being dishonorable. Joffrey's gone, yes? We've seen plenty of nasty people die.
What didn't you like about Rob's death?
