The fight was done fairly well. But I'm really pissed about the Sansa/Alayne and Littlefinger stuff. Those chapters really are great and some of the best of the entire series and D&D have completely fricked them up on screen

Im gonna kill everyone. I'm so mad about Oberyn dying. Even madder than I was when I read it. He was the best character introduced since season 2

It would have been difficult to do without adding more characters/actors I imagine. I'm okay with the alterations.

I'd love just one scene of Gilly with her mouth closed.

They've gotten ahead of the books very clearly with Sansa now. It should be completely clear to any reader that LF will unite the Vale under his and Sansa's rule and get his army. I would bet serious cash he uses that army to wipe out the Twins in as vile and manipulative of a manner as possible. It's on his way to Winterfell, and there's no quicker way he could get the North and the Riverland's loyalty than killing them. Plus, in his own warped mind, he'd see it as justice for his precious Cat.

I disagree. Didn't need to add any actors. Already added the Lords of the Vale. I guess if you want to count Marillion but he had already been cast. Although they did cut his tongue out.

They could've framed Marillion, had Sansa incognito as Alayne and played the story out just as it was in the books. I understand in adaptations things need to be moved around but Sansa/LF was changed for no reason whatsoever

But now what? They all know she is Sansa Stark now. Her cover has been blown. How does the Harry the Falcon angle play out now? Do all of the lords of the Vale sit on this monumental amount of info?

It's really not a huge deal. Except they are clearly pushing the envelope for passing the books when they don't have to. I've said before that I think D&D want to pass GRRM and beat him to the end. Why? I have no idea. And the only way they pass him is if they want to. Which they clearly do. And that sucks for us book readers

It was violent no doubt, but I've seen worse.

Hannibal has been worse. I thought the fight scene was great, man it sucked to read/watch oberyn dying. I think this change to sansas storyline can work.

Thought I was ok to handle that. Think it depressed me even more than reading it. Just like every read, I hate the story at this exact moment. Peace out Oberyn

That was done very well too. Just think the fight was one of the closest, if not the closest, adaptation of the novels yet. Perfectly done IMO
