Although Oberyn taking the torch was a little odd.
The man never met a dramatic gesture he didn't love.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I thought pretty much the same thing, Debet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Also, was that meant to be Biter? I couldn't tell.
Is there any decent theory for why the princess has to be on the ship other than King's Blood? Because, I think that's where Stannis is gonna part ways with Lady Mel.

For all intents and purposes, I'm going to call that Biter. He was traveling with Rorge.

I always wonder if whoever made up the, "There are seven doors in a forest," meme, where one of the doors leads to Narnia, and one to Middle Earth, etc, but included Westeros on that list had ever read the books.
From the first time I saw it, all I could think was, "no one ever chooses the Westeros door."

On rewatch, I think that gesture was not taking the torch away, but using it to make his pledge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He did bring the torch with him, I wasn't especially expecting him to leave it.
