Oberyn Martell

We don’t know much about Oberyn other than he is brash, voraciously omnisexual and hates all Lannisters with a passion. Sure he is called The Viper and knows his way around poisons, what we do know of him leads me to believe that poison in food or drink is not really his preferred method of exacting revenge. He’d more likely lace a blade with poison and administer it in battle. This level of subterfuge seems outside of Oberyn’s wheelhouse.


Ha its not a small list π

Probably could add all of King’s Landing to the suspect list to be honest.

Having read the books I know who killed him and that person is indeed on your list.

I am still wondering if the show will try to throw some curveballs and change things up this season.

Not a spoiler since we just saw it: If i reemmber correctly, there was zero mention of Theon in Storm of Swords, it wasn’t until the later books (not sure if it was feast or dragons) that you get introduced to some character named Reek and learn later on that it’s Theon. Same deal with Asha, no mention of her at all in the book. I thought it was a cool drop for the book nerds to end off with Ramsay coming up with Reek

I have to admit to enjoying the liberties the show has taken with the books…I am not that big of a hardliner when it comes to adaptations I guess.
And Martin had a bit of a penchant for taking characters we know and having them function under aliases for long stretches without letting the readers in on just who they really were. That definitely wouldn’t work as well on TV.
