Oberyn Martell = Enrique Inglesia?


When I saw this image I got inspired to make a Colab of this scene with Enrique Iglesias song 'Hero'. Here's the Video:

These Hoes Ain't Loyal


Chris Browns recently released song 'Loyal' has been quite a hit, Even reached the world of Westeros XD.
But I must say what Shae did was seriously not cool. Poor Tyrion, Just when he thought he could love again. Sigh.

Upcoming duel: The Red Viper vs The Mountain. Can it truly be “One of the best combat scenes we’ve done so far”


The most recent episode of Game of Thrones has left fans including myself excited for Tyrion’s upcoming trial by combat. As we know Prince Oberyn Martell has willingly volunteered to be Tyrion’s champion, however it won’t be an easy walk in the park as he will be put up against The Mountain.
What adds to the excitement is that Prince Oberyn shall finally have the chance to avenge his sister Ella Martell, who is believed to have been raped and slain by The Mountain.

In terms of physical appearances The Mountain is not someone you’d like to piss off. We’ve seen firsthand how vigorously he fights, cruel enough to even burn his younger brothers (The Hound's) face. Prince Oberyn on the other hand, as charming as he can be, we have only heard of his fighting prowess but in this upcoming show we shall finally get to see him dance.


David Benioff and Dan Weiss have spoken to entertainment weekly, mentioning that the episode to air after the Memorial Day break will possibly the best combat scene they've done so far.
Weiss says, 

“It’s not just people hacking at each other with spears and swords. It’s the culmination of 20 years of anger and hatred and thirst for vengeance coming to a head in this amazing set piece that [stunt coordinator Paul Herbert and swordmaster C.C. Smiff] have put together. The fight delivers beyond our expectations.”

We have all seen many on screen battles throughout the Game of throne series. But like Weiss said above this battle will truly have a 20 year grudge come to an end. As well as the highest stakes ever, that being Tyrion’s life.

Give Him The EMMY!


Peter Dinklage the star of HBO's Game of Thrones TV series playing the role of the amazing Imp, Tyrion Lannister.

The title says it all. Give the man an Emmy. I was in shock just watching the epic performance of Tyrion Lannister (well Peter Dinklage) pouring out his confession and feelings of hate for the people of kings landing. You could clearly see how the betrayal of Shae, ignited a wavering flame within him.




Even as it may sound slightly (Okay maybe quite) biased since Tyrion Lannister is one of my all time fave characters on the Game of Thrones series. You have to admit his performance in the above footage from se04ep06 was very well played that even I, deep inside could feel his growing bitter resentment for people, especially towards his father Tywin Lannister and sister Cersei.

The worst thing was the betrayal by his beloved Shae. Peter Dinklage has greatly managed to portray Tyrion Lannister as someone although being a dwarf, able to overcome the greatest of obstacles and not take heed to the constant mockery due to his dwarfism. But the effect that Shae's betrayal brought upon him was very well played by Peter. You could feel his over growing anger scream out as he looked at all those in the court room that he once saved from Stannis Baratheon, and spoke those words one by one with a tone mixed with anger, sadness and regret. 

Now I know that some of you may feel that just a single speech isn't worth an Emmy. However looking back on all the scenes played by Peter I can confidently say that his acting has been quite flawless throughout each season. Some of my fave scenes would include the Wildfire plan and the journey to and back from the Vale, along side Catelyn Stark and Bronn.
