Sorry about the spoiler Turq - I wasn't thinking. I will tell you this and it
does not reveal anything about the show - in some ways the show is superior to
and more enjoyable than the books because one of the reasons there are so many
books and they are so long is that Martin gives you a tremendous amount of back
story that explains the history and motivations of the families that don't
really have to do with the current story except to explain why this lord hates
that lord and so on. The show ignores or cuts through what is not really
relevant right now. I mean you will be in the middle of seeing what Jon Snow is
doing and then you have to read page after page of history before you are
brought back to "current events."

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.

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.
