Oberon Martell was the best thing about season 4. So sexy, vivacious and confident! When they killed the Red Viper off I almost stopped watching. I will go so far as to say if Oberyn Martell had not been in season 4, I may have stopped watching Game of Thrones all together at some point during that season.
Season 4 was still pretty great for me, but I agree that Oberyn's death might be the one I was most upset about. Of the humans. Dire wolves, horses, and dragons come before all humans.
Finally binge watching Game of Thrones and have been wanting to watch and see the hype. Not going to lie, mostly waiting for Season 4 and for him. I've heard they could have done more with the Martells but excited to finally get to see him. But also scared. I've seen a screenshot of the fingers in the eyes, but have not actually seen his death. I'm scared 😳 😅
Was this in Tampa? Me and my wife went to one of these Game of Thrones Comic-Cons in Tampa. We got the picture/autograph deal.. and I kinda broke the rules and took his picture with my camera when he was signing the photo.. some guy said something but Pedro was supercool about it. He called my wife Sweetheart and said he liked her name, which made her swoon of course. I'm still surprised that she didn't just feint right there. Robb Stark was there too in the booth next to Pedro, though he wasn't there at that time. On the other side was John Rhys-Davies but what I really regret was that the booth on the other side of him was Evan Peters. No one was really in his line tho, because he had only done the 1st season of AHS and it really hadn't hit as big as it would yet. I think he was promoting the first X-Men movie he was in. The few people we did see get his picture actually stood there and talked to him for like 5 minutes. He was really cool and just chatted with them. We hadn't seen AHS yet, but I remembered him from Kick-ass mostly, and loved that movie. I knew at the time we were going to regret not talking to him, but was just so tired that I wanted to get going home.
