I have read all the books and surprisingly, Tyrion is one of the FEW characters
that has longevity in the series - he cheats death any number of times.
Nice to know, I guess, but please don't tell me any more. I intentionally
didn't read the books so I could enjoy the series.

Just a note for those who may be following "Game
Of Thrones" on HBO, or wherever you get it. Mild
spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, but I just
had to rap about how magnificent Peter Dinklage was in the
latest episode, "The Laws of Gods and Men."
As
some critics have already noted, this episode is pretty much
a shoe-in to be the one that Mr. Dinklage will submit as his
"Emmy nomination reel" when time comes to do so. I
hope it will win him an Emmy to go with the Golden Globe
award he won in 2012.
In the time since, he has risen
from "Supporting Role" to "top billed"
on the series, and with good reason. While Cersei Lannister
may be the most hated character (although I personally lean
more towards Ramsay Snow in that regard), Tyrion is by far
the most loved. He has the most "star power," and
reputedly has the one of the biggest groupie statuses as
well, in a series known for its incredibly handsome hunks.
And he's a dwarf.
That's a big thing to
transcend, both in the plot of this epic work, and in real
life. In this episode, standing in the dock on trial for his
life, we watch Tyrion deal with a series of disappointments
and betrayals that would sink a man twice his size and
reduce him to helpless depression and surrender. Instead, he
rises to the occasion, and to the full measure of his
4'5" (1.35 m) stature and delivers one of the great
courtroom speeches ever delivered onscreen.
In it, as Tyrion rails about what
it's felt like to be on trial for being a dwarf his
whole life, and the
occasional anger he feels about this, we can *feel* Peter
Dinklage's similar railing, and anger. But Dinklage
transcended that trial and that anger, and now is near the
top of the acting hierarchy. Good for him. And hopefully
good for Tyrion in the coming episodes, too. I haven't
read the books, so what happens to him is still a mystery to
me. I look forward to it being resolved, but hopefully not
before a few more speeches like this one.
