YMMV / Game of Thrones S4E8: "The Mountain and the Viper"

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: The motivation of Arya's laughter at learning of Lysa's death is highly debated. Some believe she's mocking the Hound's fruitless efforts to ransom her, as he was unable to reach anyone who would pay for her before their deaths. Others believe it was a sign of Sanity Slippage after so much loss.
  • Broken Base: Over Tyrion's monologue about Orson, his brain-damaged, beetle-smashing cousin. Some theorize it's a symbolic metaphor for a world full of senseless violence and deaths that happen for no reason, while others think it's just too silly to take seriously and drags on for too long.
  • Memetic Mutation: The observation that Oberyn declares "Today is not the day I die" on what ends up being the day he dies.
