This article contains major spoilers fromGame of Thrones: The Mountain and the Viper.
Sweet Ingio tap-dancing Montoya, that was horrific!
Hell, he went out just like his wronged sister: screaming with the Mountains hands around his skull.
So, before we dissect the Red Vipers fate some more (and we will!)
first, lets consider the other major revelations.
Still, more importantly, the hammer finally fell on Jorah Mormonts long love struck head.
Indeed, Jorahs fate has been one of his own making from before the series began.
Indeed, it flamed out faster than any slaver when Dany summoned Jorah into her throne room.
And thus, it was a bloody well played move on the ever-unflappable Tywin Lannisters part.
In the Eyrie, Sansa Stark makes her first move, and it is a striking one.
In a fit of jealous rage and unpredictable suicide.
It is a brilliant sequence that reveals Sansa can play the game that Petyr has laid out for her.
After all, Sansas admission of her heritage is also not in the book either…
The build-up to the fight curiously begins not on either titular warrior, but inside Tyrion Lannisters cell.
The two have conveyed so much in the last several episodes, usually wordlessly in only their eyes.
He even got his own Inigo Montoya moment.
You killed her children.
However, the thespian of the night was Indira Varma as the Vipers paramour, Ellaria Sand.
Nevertheless, the Red Viper is good and dead.
It is a wonderful moment of television expectations being thwarted again.
