Game Of Thrones Season 4 Spoilers: 5 Things That Will Rule

5. The Trial Of Tyrion Lannister

This one is something that I personally can€™t really wait to see. After the mishap of the Purple Wedding (keep reading, you€™ll find out), Tyrion Lannister is sentenced to go on trial before the court of Westeros. It is one of the most ostentatious things I€™ve seen overall in the books, with pretty much every lord and lady tripping over themselves to accuse Tyrion of a crime he didn€™t commit. His own father Tywin, who may not have always been the best dad, leads the assault. Seeing clearly the he will fail no matter what in a court of people who have always hated him for the crime of being a dwarf, he demands a trial by combat.

And to the surprise of everyone there, the person who stands up to defend him is none other than Oberyn Martell, one of the three judges for his trial and one of his accusers. Nicknamed the Red Viper, Oberyn Martell is known as a womanizing, boozing, passionate, and vicious man. He takes the job of Tyrion€™s champion because the Lannister€™s champion, Gregor Clegane, was the one that raped and killed his sister years ago, and he wants revenge. The battle is similar to the one between Bronn and Ser Vardis in season one, only amped up to the nth degree. There is cursing, passionate declarations, blood, and poison. After all, he isn€™t called the Red Viper for nothing.

Seeing this trial brought to the screen will be nothing short of fantastic, and though it is rather unfavorable to Tyrion (Oberyn ultimately loses the battle, but not without taking Gregor with him), it is a real moment where we get to see Tyrion react to the fact that he really never will be accepted among these people, despite the fact that he practically saved their lives. Even Shae, who might be annoying but does claim to love him, betrays him. I€™m not sure whether they€™ll keep that last part, but as for the rest of it, it€™s gonna be a pretty epic episode of Game of Thrones.
