Oberyn's death has been haunting me ever since, and not just because of how gruesome it was. It was Khal Drogo all over again; after a long build-up, awesome speeches (Oberyn probably more so than Drogo) and an exceptionally great fight, both just go and die.
Though Oberyn's death was even worse, mainly because the violence helped drive the point home, taking me from happiness about his imminent victory to despair as I watched one of my favourite characters having his skull smashed in, all in the matter of three seconds. And those screams, Jesus Christ.
By far, the worst death I've ever witnessed; as I was watching, I seriously refused to believe what I was seeing.
