Last week Game of Thrones took a brief hiatus for the Memorial Day holiday. This Sunday the show returns with the first of the final three episodes of Season 4. This weekend’s episode features Tryon’s Champion Oberyn “The Red Viper,” Vs The Mountain. The episode also features the return of director Alex Graves following his controversial comments about the infamous Jamie Lannister rape scene.
Game of Thrones is back this weekend. This week’s episode tackles including the trail of Littlefinger as well the battle between Oberyn and The Mountain.
Recently Game of Thrones director Alex Graves recently spoke to The International Business Times about the new episodes big battle:
“Oberyn, the Red Viper, is, and as portrayed by so perfectly by Pedro, he has a real level of style and finesse that, obviously, nobody on ‘Game of Thrones’ has in wielding weapons. I mean, it's usually, ‘Cut, rip, kill,’ and you got the Hound, you bump into the Hound at the grocery store and it's like, ‘You're dead.’ So, I thought it should have a very elegant, slick style, especially because of the way it ends, it would set up a contrast. “
That is not the only thing that Graves loved about the Oberyn centric episode, as he added:
“The other thing was, it's a story about Oberyn and talking to David and Dan about it, and the more I learned about Oberyn and what that scene is about. That scene is two people skimming the surface of one of the single most important events in the mythology of the show, and it is the night of the murder of Elia Martell. It was the night the Kingslayer was born, it was the night King's Landing was sacked by Tywin Lannister, and it was the night several other things happened. It serves several purposes which is: One, it is really bringing to the forefront to the audience these names and this content, and yet you're really not quite pulling it all in, and you will as the show goes on, but you'll know about it through this fight scene.”
