I didn’t think about it at the time because I was in ‘when are they going to get to the fireworks factory?’ mode, but yes. At the end of her scene with Littlefinger, he asks something like “Do you know what I want?”
The resemblance to Inigo is intentional, and I see it as a take on what happens when a character’s desire for revenge goes beyond the bounds of good sense. I couldn’t help thinking of this, from the thread for the last episode:
Oberyn wasn’t stupid to get into a fight with the Mountain since he enough skill to win without a scratch on him. But he turned his back on a wounded but still living opponent to make a speech, and it got him killed. You could call that stupid, but anyway it’s an obvious mistake that people often get away with in stories like this.
I thought that might’ve happened. Of course there’s no instant replay in Westeros.
…both of which kind of suck.
This is mostly what people have said about him. We haven’t seen him fight much: he chopped the head off his horse and killed a couple of terrified prisoners, but none of that proves he lacks cunning. Anyway, his plan was “when he isn’t looking I’ll trip him.” It’s not the most complicated plot we’ve ever seen.
Oberyn knew he was alive. The whole point of the exercise was that he wanted the Mountain to confess to murdering his sister and admit that Tywin was behind it.
He’d been hamstrung and run through the chest with a spear. I’m not seeing what his other options were.
