      The Red Viper was without a doubt, the most badass character in the show. His skills in fighting could not be equaled by anyone, not even close. But then he just had to gloat, had to taunt. The only thing that could kill the Red Viper was the Red Viper himself. Still cracks me up how Oberyn just easily, pretty much effortlessly OWNED the Mountain in combat, just played with him like the Mountain was nothing. Then, BAM! Oberyn is distracted by his own hubris and game over.

    The Mountain is evil and sadistic, but also very powerful and mysterious. I don’t think he’s a super brilliant person or anything, but he wouldn’t let someone like Tyrion outwit him, he’d likely just do what he felt like without considering consequences. He has this air of invincibility to him. The other two you just hate, but this guy literally gives me the creeps in ways I can’t explain.

    The mountain and the hounds story IS the reason for Sandor and Sansa, the sheer amount of foreshadowing throughout Santa’s POV from the fingers to the Eyrie is ALL about innocence lost and fairytale. The Hound WAS a dreamer he sees himself and his sister in Sansa it’s why he came to her when Kings Landing burned and he was afraid of the fire. It’s one of the most disappointing plot points dumped by D&D.

    I think Cersei actually sent the Martell's the skull of one of the dwarfs that was presented to her as Tyrion's. They describe the skull as be grotesquely large, and she tells them to keep it, that it may come in handy. Soon after, the Martell's receive a skull, and it's even suspected that it may not even be his real skull. It's only accepted as such because it's so unusually large. But the implication is pretty obvious. Cersei sent the dwarf skull in place of the Mountains.

For one thing, Robb's body was at the Frey's. For another, Robert was a big man, bigger than Robb Stark; his head would have fit the Mountain's body better, I think.

    I don't know why, but one of the most disturbing things we ever learn about the Mountain (in my opinion) is when we find out that he has a tremendously severe addiction to "milk of the poppy", which is the Westerosi version of a super-strong opium tincture like Laudanum. GRRM is at pains to illustrate that this milk of the poppy is SERIOUS stuff - a small dose knocks normal men out for days, and even just taking a *TINY* bit too much can lead to someone dying in their sleep. Again, this is not dissimilar from Laudanum which was also super-strong and difficult to dose properly.
    Anyway, Ser Gregor suffers from intense headaches and other pains (almost certainly because of his absurd size) and is described in the books as "quaffing [milk of the poppy] like ale" on a regular basis, just to not be in intense pain all the time. If you know anything about opiate addiction, the fact that Ser Gregor isn't just a violent massive sociopathic murdering rapist, but also one who is doped up and high as a kite all the time with probably a REALLY severe physical dependence on the stuff.
    I think it kinda makes the degree to which he suffered in the weeks before he died even more horrific to contemplate, knowing that he was probably suffering from unimaginable pain *and* the worst drug withdrawal imaginable on top of whatever scary insane poison Oberyn gave him ripping through his flesh. I doubt Qyburn let him chug his entire supply of milk of the poppy (and more) which is likely what Ser Gregor needed to treat even a shadow of what he was going through.

      He only mentions Hodor and Brienne by name, but he specifically mentions the other characters who are all described as unusually tall. He could have been cheekily dismissing the theory by drawing attention that the only evidence for it is widespread throughout the books, or he could have been hinting that there more than a few characters who meet the same criteria for being Dunk's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren ...

      The possibility that Qyburn could have used Robert Baratheon's head is actually implied by the name Qyburn gave him: Robert the Strong. I realize they kept a dwarf's head aside to play with; however that's not necessarily the head they actually used. The dwarf's head could have been a decoy, to hide the fact that they desecrated Robert's grave to use his head instead; which would actually fit the Mountain's huge body better.
      Also, the dwarf's head would have been far too small to keep that helm in place! The head's eyes wouldn't have been visible through the helm's eye slits if they were the dwarf's. Thus they needed a bigger head, so, Robert's.
      Just my two cents. :-)

    If the mountain 5 older younger than he should have been 10-12 when he burned his brother face. 6ft at 10 would be insane. Imagine if one of the wives he killed had a son that grew just as big as him and wanted to actually murder him.

      Actually, my son's father was 6' tall by age 11 and stocky / muscular. In short, he would have been physically able to do what Gregor did to Sandor at that age. (Then he stopped growing! His mom confirmed this.) Also, a classmate of mine in school was almost 6' tall when he started high school, then reached 6'7" or so by graduation. Things like this can happen, it's all in the growth hormones and testosterone surges.
      And yes, Gregor would have been about 12, being 5 years older than Sandor.

    When I was reading the books, I was surprised to see that Meera Reed (whom was with bran during his trip north) was actually taller than Jamie, and her own pole which with she armed herself. I will try to find the passage, but it also mentioned that Jamie wasn't even up to her shoulders so I think she'd be around 8 feet or taller (in the books).

      I don't know who you could mean, but it wasn't Meera Reed. Besides that she and Jamie never met in the books, she -like all crannogmen is really short.
      ACoK Chapter 21: Both Reeds were slight of build, slender as swords and scarcely taller than Bran himself.
      And Bran is 7 years younger than her.

    You missed the best connection the hound was burned by the mountain and then knighted by a targaryen who burned the city and as lore has said us not affected by fire. The mountain put his brother through the fire which is the glory of the targaryens. That is the irony that the mountain's reward was the identity of the targaryens

    The grim keep of Ser Gregor Clegane is, as horrific as it seems, based on a genuine real life instance. Gilles De Rais, Grand Marshall of France (and who fought the English alongside Joan of Arc) was a corrupt and perverted Lord whose home was notorious for the regular disappearance of local children and indulgence in alchemy and sorcery, trying to invoke the devil. Had he not started messing with the Church and kept his attentions to peasants he would certainly have gotten away with it. As it is, he is the basis for the legend of Bluebeard... and The Mountain That Rides!

    -Gendry and Arya will marry to reunite North and South (King and Queen)
    -Edric will get Stroms End.
    - Edmur will rule Riverlands.
    -Tyron will rule Westerlands
    - Dorne will go to Alleine
    -Reach i rly dont have strong oppinion
    People who knows about Gendry are Stannis and Varys, Stannis cares about rules and he knows Gendry is the oldest Robert son, Stannis will propably die, but he will spread out the word . Varys in other hand support YG, but YG is propably FAegon (BlackFyre), dragon will be his test and dragon will kill him ( Quentyn had Targeryan blood but its was to much diluted) so Varys will support Gendry more than Targeryans. If Varys supports BlackFyre , he would rather have Robert bastard than Targeryans on the throne.

    For the record I think and, always thought even in the show that arya Will kill the mountain as Sandor is battling him. A little dangerous chick who has a weird connection to the hound taking on the biggest guy in the realm would be fitting. Plus it’s weirdly analogous to his own little sister getting her revenge for whatever he did to her.

      Honestly, Cleganebowl would've been a lot better with Arya and Brienne backing up Sandor in a 3v1. It would've been great just in terms of a battle scene, but it also would've added more legitimacy to Sandor's revenge by making the final showdown about more than just a familial grudge. Because when you get right down to it, of all The Mountain's victims, Sandor got off the lightest.
