In the books? No, besides Gregor, Joffrey and Ramsay there are few worse. The name Lyn Corbray springs to mind.
Hell, even in the first season of the show they talked about him procuring female corpses for his brothels. Not exactly husband material.
True enough about his deeds but I don't think you can say he wouldn't be good husband material for Sansa. Petyr is legit obsessed with her (or more correctly her mum) and would never involve her in any of his less than savoury dealings not to mention he'd keep her very comfortable. The only thing she'd have to fear is getting killed because he's pissed someone off which if we're honest is a possibility for every noble wife in Westeros.

Fair enough. You have to admit Westeros is the only place where a man who provides a potential pedophile with boys and corpses to necrophiliacs is considered a descent husband.
True. At least she's not a Targareyn married to her brother.

Dude is moving up in the world (albeit in a less than savoury manner), from humble beginnings to where he is now. Sansa could do worse indeed.

Yeah I don't get the impression anybody would be wasting precious magic on saving the Mountain any time soon.

I guess being Tywin's hired thug of choice could be of some value to the Lannister's. Other than that I'd imagine there'd be a long list of people wanting the Mountain dead.

I think that list got a lot longer after yelling his guilt for all of the court to hear. Now Dorne knows for sure what happened to Elia.
@up_all_night. Tis obvious that Pic numba 5 & 7 was The Morning After, and now they've all but put a ring on it, she's now got little finger wrapped around her, uh, little finger.
She's also obviously got a no nudity / no sex scenes in her contract ... thank goodness.

One of the best scenes of the whole series I reckon. Can't help but LOL with her even though there is no sound.
Best characters out of all seasons thus far would have to be her and the First Sword of Braavos / Syrio / Ser Meyrn Tran I reckon.

Now that the quite likeable little person is all but dead, there isn't all that much reason to watch any more I reckon.
The ratio of nasty to nice has gone far to far to the left/dark/nasty side of things and there is already too much of that sort of thing going on in the real world to enjoy seeing it also triumph in story telling land.
Speaking of Bravos, apparently the Nightingale is the most beautiful woman in the world. Remember that coz it may save your life one day.

This sounds a bit contradictory and somewhat spoilery I suppose. Someone has a vested interest in keeping the Mountain alive but the list of those wanting him dead grows ever bigger....hmmm. As you've pointed out the Mountain admitted his guilt so keeping him alive serves no obvious purpose, he's tarnished goods that is best left for dead. It's all very intriguing to say the least.

Not spoilerish, just saying something that you already know. That and the Mountain is alive. That's all.

Oh I wasn't accusing you of deliberately spoiling me SEC. I just thought that I might be drawing too much information from you with my questions and possibly lead you to accidentally reveal a spoiler.
I do have to admit that I'm puzzled and curious about your claims that more people want the Mountain dead as who else besides the Martells, by killing the Viper, would want him dead? They're already pretty certain that he's responsible for the deaths of several of their family members so they're not exactly 'new' in that wanting the Mountain dead list.
And those wanting to keep alive? That's even more puzzling as, like I pointed out earlier, he's damaged goods and the reputation of anybody that associates with him will suffer.
Hopefully these questions are resolved before this season ends and not make us have to wait a whole 'nother year to find out.

Yeah...nah I think I'll pass.
There are already plenty of shows that cater to Hollywood's happy ending turn of events.
What's engaging about GoT is the unpredictability of the story arc. I liked Oberyn but my enjoyment of the show goes far beyond the deaths of fan favourite characters.

Alright, that's good. I just want to make sure I don't walk too fine a line between knowing the book plots (which I read after season 1) and remaining involved in a non spoiler area. I would hate to spoil what most people consider one of their favourite show. But I can't really engage in theorizing talk with everybody else if they know that you already know the book plot.
