Sean got it and everyone echoed it. He wanted Tywin. I don't really think they changed things in the Vale that much. she still covered for Baelish in the books just in a different way. After her speech with Baelish in private I half expected her to throw her self at him right then and there.
as for why they call him the red viper of dorn. that comes later.
Those screams... those goddamn screams as his eyes gets pushed into his skull and those monstrous fingers bore through his eye-sockets to crush his skull.
I have a pretty strong stomach, but that just made me shiver.

He had the name from a previous fight... which used similar tactics. I think it would have been helpful to address that, in the show it appears the Mountain was just outfought and succumbs to ordinary wounds. I mean.. he was in the books as well but there is more to it than that.

I love the description that someone posted on Reddit, in that this was basically a reverse boss fight -- in the vast majority of fiction, the hero gets beaten down, the villain arrogantly delivers his monologue, and the hero gets the opening to turn the tables and end the fight. Nope, let's switch the roles here!
Inverting tropes is part-and-parcel for this show, but it only helped further the other huge changes we got in this episode. Ramsay is now "legitimate," Sansa can become a power player, and even lil' adorable Arya -- I can't even.

I can sure as Hell complain about how it played out, and I will. If he wants a confession, ok fine. But then before he starts ranting, either:
A. Disable the Mountain completely so that he cannot possibly fight back or even move.
or.
B. Still keep your distance you magnificently accented fool.
Yeah, it's gotten to the point where I've started calling the characters by their Gay of Thrones nicknames during the show
I still feel like that's more along the lines of Monday morning quarterbacking. No one denies that he got cocky, and any one of us can concoct a million scenarios on how Oberyon could have avoided his one lone mistake, but alas. It's funny, though, that Oberyn was one of the most progressive and deeply compelling characters on the show, but his dwelling and inability to overcome his past doomed him. You can have revenge or you can have justice, but you can't have both. Essentially, Oberyn's own character traits got himself killed.
