Pedro Pascal Reflects On His Final Game Of Thrones Episode
Pedro Pascal reflects on shooting his final Game of Thrones episode and what it was like returning to the same location his death scene was shot. First airing in 2011, Game of Thrones had become a popular and well-established series by the time Pascal joined in season 4. Pascal played Oberyn Martell, aka the Red Viper, a character whose combat prowess was matched only by his sexual appetite.
Although proving an interesting and complex character, the Red Viper was ultimately killed off during an intense duel in an episode titled «The Mountain and the Viper.» The duel occurs when Oberyn agrees to represent Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) in a trial by combat, which Tyrion demands after being accused of King Joffrey's death. While Oberyn initially gains the upper hand in the fight, the Mountain eventually kills Pascal's character in one of the most memorable deaths in Game of Thrones history by crushing the Red Viper's skull with his bare hands.
