She'd rather watch him suffer. She (thinks she) has Tyrion's girl locked up somewhere, she said she made it her life goal to watch him as she takes what he loves away from him. She would get absolutely zero satisfaction out of knowing that he died on a battlefield somewhere; in fact, she would probably be angry about it. Joffrey is possible, but again, I think he does have some respect for Tyrion as his family member/a leader of the war, just not seeing the motive for killing him off. It seems like something the Kingsguard wanted to do on his own. | ||

LOVE IT Honestly, you're not missing a whole lot by not reading. The show, for the most part, has been remarkebly faithful to the books. There have been more changes in the second season (especially with the Arya and Dany storylines), but nothing earth-shattering. I'm very happy they're going to seperate book three into two seasons instead of just one as it will give the many different story threads a bit more room to breathe. Also, book 3 is imho the best in the series so far. | ||

I'm sure she would love to watch him suffer, but she knows that Tyrion is smart, so I would think she would take what ever chance she can get. | ||

Jayme's a really complicated character - huge ego, but extremely loyal to his siblings and pretty much inherited his father's ruthlessness when it comes to doing what needs to be done to accomplish his goals. You get the feeling that at heart, he's very principled, but at the same time is very morally devoid, which leads to him doing some really brutal shit. At least that's what I get from watching his scenes. | ||

I'm sure she would love to watch him suffer, but she knows that Tyrion is smart, so I would think she would take what ever chance she can get. But Cercei ultimately doesn't hate Tyrion enough to want to kill him. Cercei loves her children and only her children, but Tyrion is not a threat to them and deep down I'm sure she realizes that he's also looking out for her nieces and nephews despite doing things she doesn't always agree with. Granted I am no expert on the psychology of Cercei Lannister but judging from her personality so far, I don't think she'd want Tyrion dead. | ||

His story was interesting: a man of honor being forced to enter a rats nest full of intrigues, lies and a special kind of survival of the fittest. But clinging to his values is one thing, being blind to reality a whole other. His biggest mistake was obviously warning the queen, thereby killing his friend Robert as Varys laid out. That's why I like to call Stannis a "Ned with brains". He bases his actions on what is "rightful" as well, but sees the world for what it is and does not delude himself. Obviously, he is a Ned without heart as well.^^ And you can hardly deny that Jon was pretty annoying at times, especially regarding that woman. Sansa on the other hand is not dumb at all. She was naive at first, believing in stories of noble knights and so on, but she has adapted to the dire situation very well, to quote Tyrion: "Lady Stark, you may survive us yet." This is so cute it has to be sarcasm. :D It did not cross your mind that people might swear a lot of things with a sword in front of them? "Send their son to hostage"? Balon was facing utter destruction, he had no saying at all about his sons fate. You should look up the definition of sworn enemy. Hint: it involves swearing your enmity. There's a reason Ned didn't destroy the Greyjoys when he could have. There's a reason Rob thought Balon could be reasoned with. Hint: the Greyjoys weren't their sworn enemies. | ||

There's nothing wrong with having read the books, I love them. Yet in a show-specific thread like this, the book readers should be very sensitive to the non-book readers. While that is technically true, it's not helpful to the non-book readers who are coming to understand this magnificant, but difficult, story as a show. I think the book-readers, having a bit more understanding of the charactors and more knowlege of the exposition, can assist the non-book readers in understanding bits that they might have missed, or have forgotten because they're being told the story one hour at a time over the course of weeks and weeks. They can offer a bit more perspective to the non-book readers. But nitpicking over the differences between the books and the show or saying that something is out-of-character for a character because he doesn't do it in the books is wrong. | ||

I was speaking more along the lines of his immediate family (Tywin, Cersei, Tyrion, Joffrey, Tommen, Myrcella). Remember, he had to be reminded that he had ever even met this relative before. | ||

Hes rebuild his house to glory, secured the throne through cercei and while he has no problem with killing civilians to further his ends you have to realise that in the world they live in thats pretty normal. Jamie, while obv wrong for screwing his sister doesnt have any reason to be hated beyond that. Cercei is bad but considering she got wed off to Robert who didnt want her so she could put a kid lannister on the throne. As she said in the last episode she basicly wanted to be what Arya is but her father (understandably) wouldnt let her. Uh, Jaime murdered a relative who obviously idolized him so he could kill a solider so he could escape, when knocking them both out would have served. In fairness Jaime's character isn't really like that, he's smart; not cruel, but still. And yeah he threw Bran off a building, essentially caused Ned's death through capturing him when all he wanted to do was leave and generally is a dick. | ||
