Talkin' Thrones Episode 38 - The Mountain & the Viper

We're almost done with Season 4, and we begin the wrap-up phase, with Season 4, Episode 8, "The Mountain & the Viper." We obviously talk a ton about the titular fight between Prince Oberyn Martell and Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, with Benioff & Weiss delivering yet again another one of Martin's classis pulling the rug out from under your feet moments, with Prince Oberyn literally winning the fight, only to monologue for too long, giving the Mountain the chance to knock him down and crush his skull like a grape, dooming Tyrion. We also get a nice little preview of the Battle of the Wall next episode with the Wildling attack on Mole's Town; Ramsay & Theon wrap up the Bolton's conquest of the North with Theon convincing the Ironborn at Moat Cailin to lay down their arms and surrender; Littlefinger & Sansa solidify their unspoken pact with Sansa lying to the Lords of the Vale about Lysa's death; and Daenerys finally learns the truth that Jorah was spying on her for Robert Baratheon back in Season 1. We're officially in wrap-up territory now as we continue on every week up until the finale with #talkinthrones new episodes released every Friday on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.
