Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: Not Tywin…Anyone But Tywin

Derek

The fourth season finale of GAME OF THRONES had a ton of amazing moments from Harryhausen-esque animated skeletons to Stannis riding to the rescue beyond The Wall to the epic battle between The Hound and Brienne…it was just an incredible episode of television. But nothing stood out more to me than the scene(s) where Tyrion exacted his revenge upon two of those who have wronged him the most gravely.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: And The Emmy Goes To…Peter Dinklage!

There are times when you are watching a TV show and you realize that an actor is doing something that is destined to be award worthy. I noticed it the first time Jessica Lange strolled onscreen in AMERICAN HORROR STORY’s first episode and proceeded to swallow Connie Britton whole. I noticed it the second Matthew McConoughey sat down to be interrogated on TRUE DETECTIVE. And I noticed it when Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister couldn’t take it anymore and lashed out at pretty much everyone during his farce of a trial on last night’s episode of GAME OF THRONES.

Tywin Lannister Knows Best

My children. You've disgraced the Lannister name for far too long
My children. You’ve disgraced the Lannister name for far too long

There are stern fathers and then there are cold, authoritarian, self-esteem crushing fathers like one Lord Tywin Lannister from GAME OF THRONES. The patriarch of the Lannister clan is the anti-Cliff Huxtable. He rarely has a kind word for any of his kids and on the off chance that he does compliment them it is usually immediately followed by him cutting them down especially poor Tyrion who he routinely refers to as a “stump”. So in honor of the Westeros Father of the Year I put together a video of all of Tywin’s interactions with his 3 children so you too can marvel at the world class acting of Charles Dance in the role that I don’t think anyone could possibly play better..

The Daily Nerdgasm: Game of Thrones Fighting Game

Derek


If only this were reality…the idea of a Game of Thrones fighting game in the style of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat would be killer. I would probably play that damn game till my thumbs fell off!
Alas the video game does not exist anywhere but in the fertile imagination of the artistically skilled crew over at Chroma Engine.

Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: The Eunuch vs The Imp

Derek

Tyrion vs Varys
I love when characters I really like have an extended scene together and since Tyrion is my absolute favorite GoT character and Varys is in my top 5, I was ecstatic watching their civil yet veiled sparring session. When Tyrion walked into his room and saw Varys sitting there having a pleasant chat with Shae you could just see the rage boiling up in him. He realizes that Varys traffics in information and now the eunuch had info on him that could (and most likely will) be used as a weapon against him sometime in the future. And the way the scene ended with Tyrion making sure Varys knew that he was not dealing with someone like Ned Stark who was totally out of his element in the cutthroat, shark infested waters of the Small Council and Varys reminding Tyrion that no matter what upheaval occurs within the kingdom The Spider always survives. Great scene and I can’t wait to see them go at it again.
