Definitely going to see a Hound/Mountain showdown.
Hey, you may be right, maybe there will be a showdown eventually between The Mountain and The Hound, who else will be able to kill The Mountain if not The Hound?
However, do you know why they call Oberyn "The Red Viper"?

It certainly was, as that's the only thing that Oberyn cared about. That might cause a few problems for Tywin. Up until this point it's always been rumor, not necessarily fact what The Mountain did to Oberyn's sister and her children. Tywin always had plausible deniability in that regard. Now? Not so much....
Will it matter? I have no idea. But Tywin's a good politician, he'll deal with any repercussions from these events with tactical genius and strategery.
Poor Tyrion, but my oh my there are going to be some rather unhappy Martells.
But I have to ask, AoG-
AoG wrote:Oberyn will get his wish as the Hound is gonna kill the Mountain after he confessed...
Elaborate.
Why would The Hound care whether or not The Mountain confessed? I figure The Hound wants to kill The Mountain just because. Oberyn I don't think means much of anything to The Hound and The Hound already knows his brother is a real POS. It's not like The Mountain's actions during the rebellion is going to make The Hound any
more hate filled toward his brother. What's The Mountain's confession got to do with it?
I am going to miss Pablo Pascal though, he was great at playing Oberyn. I'll miss Oberyn as well, he was very interesting and he was quite the bad ass in the fight. He took The Mountain down quick as shit. Only Oberyn's thirst for revenge was his flaw, his fatal flaw.

Not omitted, simply not revealed why she's left, yet....

I know, right? But I like that they've deviated from the books a bit, keeps us on our toes. Besides, if Arya hadn't reached the Vale then she'd never have had that simply outstanding reaction she had when she found out her aunt was dead.
I must confess, I laughed my ass off at how Arya reacted. I think it may be possible that they deviated from the books in this case to just be able to have Arya deliver that line.
Vale Knight: I'm sorry, child, but your aunt is dead.
Arya: Hahahahaha!
The Hound: <Stares incoherently with a dumbfounded look of "WTF?">
Outstanding! Bwahahaha!
