Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken'
5. What Role Will The Mountain Play?
With King's Landing cast into turmoil, there's a real need for a game-changer. Someone or something to definitively swing the pendulum in favour of the Lannisters, the Tyrells, or the Sparrows. Each side is constantly swaying back and forth, with the Tyrells looking perilously weak at the moment, with the Lannisters boosted by their demise. But will the Mountain prove to be that decisive figure of brute strength if and when he ever pulls through from Qyburn's bizarre experiments? It's really anybody's guess as to what the Mountain will become, but with several rare yet prominent teases, he surely has to play some part? He could be a Hulk-like figure rampaging through the streets, or he could be a braindead but mighty pawn to be used by Cersei. Either way, with just a few episodes to go in this season, he must make an appearance soon, and if not, does that mean an even longer tease and bigger pay off next time around?
