3. Revenge Of The Red Vipers
Game Of Thrones has scarred many fans in many different ways. Do your first shocking moment on the show? Was it the ever-popular Ned Stark scene? Was it the Red Wedding? That one had fans screaming, didn’t it? For me, it was when Oberyn Martell took on The Mountain in one-on-one combat… and lost. That scene, you know the one, was horrific and one of the most uncomfortable sequences to witness on the show.
Nevertheless, Oberyn’s legacy didn’t just fade away into obscurity. While The Mountain is probably stronger than ever thanks to the tinkering of that creepy ol’ Qyburn, Oberyn’s avengers have made their message very clear as well. They’re coming to take from Cersei every little thing that she holds dear, and they’ve aligned themselves with a fleet that will sweep King’s Landing like a hurricane. It’ll be fun to see Ellaria Sand and her “Sand Snakes”, the bastard daughters of The Red Viper himself, come face to face with Cersei and her bulky companion. I won’t lie, I’ve waited for this moment for a long time, and just knowing that there’ll be a chance for Ellaria to seek vengeance on the ones who killed Oberyn makes me a very happy fan.
Granted, she may go out the same way Oberyn did, but that’s a story for another day.
