I säsong fyra, avsnitt 10, där Tyrion Lannister fanns i fängelse för att eventuellt döda Joffrey, gav hans bror Jaime så småningom sig fri och berättade för honom att gå igenom en dörr och uppför stegen där Varys väntar på att leda honom till frihet. Men i stället ledde Tyrion till sin fars kamrar.
Min fråga: Varför i världen gjorde Tyrion huvudet till sin fars kvartal utan ett vapen?
Han är en intelligent man och visste säkert att hans far skulle kasta honom tillbaka i fängelse och det skulle inte vara något han kunde göra för att stoppa honom. Jag är säker på att han gick för att söka något svar från sin far, men att göra det utan ett vapen i handen gjorde ingen mening. När han dödade Shae sökte han sin far med en armbåg i sina händer.Jag kan bara tro att skaparna, David och Dan, hade en hjärnfisk. Vilken annan slutsats kan det finnas?
Det beror på några mystiska beslut på en del av Show-teamet.
I böckerna gick det inte riktigt så och eftersom Showen valde att hoppa över hela avsnittet om:
Tysha
Såklart ger Tyrions reaktion ingen mening för en show-fan. Dessutom tog han en dolk och en armbåge från sin fars kamrar.
Låt oss se hur saker hände i böckerna. Spoilers bortom denna punkt.
När Tyrion var en tonårs pojke reste han och Jaime från Casterly Rock när de hände på några rapister som jagade en ung tjej. Våldtäkterna sprang iväg när de såg Jaime men Jaime var inte nöjd. Det förolämpade honom att ruffians skulle byta på oskyldiga resenärer detta nära Casterly Rock. Så gick han tillbaka för att få hjälp och lämnade tjejen i Tyrions omsorg.
Tyrion tog henne till ett värdshus och fick reda på att flickan heter Tysha och var en crofter dotter som var på väg till ingenstans, verkligen som hennes far hade dött och hon hade ingen omedelbar familj. Tyrion matade henne, tröstade henne och innan de visste det, delade de en säng. Tyrion påminner om att hon var väldigt vacker. Hon var jungfru och på morgonen var Tyrion kär i henne.
Tyrion gifte sig med henne genom att briba en berusad septon. Men han var mycket väl medveten om att hans far aldrig skulle acceptera en Crofters dotter som sin svärfamilj, åka till andra i raden till de äldsta Kings of the Rocks tron. Så han hittade ett sätt men det fungerade inte bra. Han satte henne upp i en stuga och de spelade på att vara man och hustru i några veckor tills Septon han hade bestruket för att gifta sig med dem berättade för Lord Tywin.
Då krossade Tywin honom. Han gjorde Jaime bekänna att han hade anställt en jungfru för att göra en man ur Tyrion. Sedan gav han henne upp till garnisonen och bjöd på Tyrion klocka. Då hade han Tyrion ta henne också.
Tyrion hatade sin far för det. Men det var allt vettigt, eller hur? Han fick bara titta på sig själv. Varför skulle en tjej som Tysha vilja vara med en hemsk missformad dvärg som han?

Innan Tyrion frikopplades, erkände Jaime att Tysha inte var en hoj, hon var bara en lågfödd tjej som de träffade. Tyrion förbrukades nu av raseri och skuld, sin egen familj hade lurat honom och han själv deltog i att rapa sin fru och en sann kärlek.
"Tysha?" His stomach tightened. "What of her?"
"She was no whore. I never bought her for you. That was a lie that Father commanded me to tell. Tysha was . . . she was what she seemed to be. A crofter's daughter, chance met on the road."
Tyrion could hear the faint sound of his own breath whistling hollowly through the scar of his nose. Jaime could not meet his eyes. Tysha. He tried to remember what she had looked like. A girl, she was only a girl, no older than Sansa. "My wife," he croaked. "She wed me."
"For your gold, Father said. She was lowborn, you were a Lannister of Casterly Rock. All she wanted was the gold, which made her no different from a whore, so . . . so it would not be a lie, not truly, and . . . he said that you required a sharp lesson. That you would learn from it, and thank me later . . ."
"Thank you?" Tyrion's voice was choked. "He gave her to his guards. A barracks full of guards. He made me . . . watch." Aye, and more than watch. I took her too . . . my wife . . .
"I never knew he would do that. You must believe me."
"Oh, must I?" Tyrion snarled. "Why should I believe you about anything, ever? She was my wife!"
“Tyrion –it...”
He hit him. It was a slap, backhanded, but he put all his strength into it, all his fear, all his rage, all his pain. Jaime was squatting, unbalanced. The blow sent him tumbling backward to the floor. “I... I suppose I earned that.”
"Oh, you've earned more than that, Jaime. You and my sweet sister and our loving father, yes, I can't begin to tell you what you've earned. But you'll have it, that I swear to you. A Lannister always pays his debts." Tyrion waddled away, almost stumbling over the turnkey again in his haste. Before he had gone a dozen yards, he bumped up against an iron gate that closed the passage. Oh, gods. It was all he could do not to scream.

Han ljög om att döda Joffrey för att skada Jaime. Han berättade också för honom om Cersei otrohet och gick sedan vidare.
Jaime handed him the ring of keys. “I gave you the truth. You owe me the same. Did you do it? Did you kill him?”
The question was another knife, twisting in his guts. “Are you sure you want to know?” asked Tyrion. “Joffrey would have been a worse king than Aerys ever was. He stole his father’s dagger and gave it to a footpad to slit the throat of Brandon Stark, did you know that?”
“I... I thought he might have.”
“Well, a son takes after his father. Joff would have killed me as well, once he came into his power. For the crime of being short and ugly, of which I am so conspicuously guilty.”
“You have not answered my question.”
“You poor stupid blind crippled fool. Must I spell every little thing out for you? Very well. Cersei is a lying whore, she’s been fucking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know. And I am the monster they all say I am. Yes, I killed your vile son.” He made himself grin. It must have been a hideous sight to see, there in the torchlit gloom.
ASOS - Tyrion IX
Han träffade Varys i tunnlarna. Det var då han insåg att Shae pratade om dessa tunnlar som öppnade direkt i handkammare, med tanke på hur Varys brukade smuggla henne inuti Maegors hållfasthet.
Han berättade för Varys att han inte brydde sig om sitt liv eller någon annans nu. Trots Varys varningar fick Tyrion honom att berätta för honom den hemliga ingången till faderns kamrar.
The juncture was otherwise empty, but on the floor was a mosaic of a three-headed dragon wrought in red and black tiles. Something niggled at Tyrion for a moment. Then it came to him. This is the place Shae told me of, when Varys first led her to my bed. “We are below the Tower of the Hand.”
“Yes.” Frozen hinges screamed in protest as Varys pulled open a long closed door. Flakes of rust drifted to the floor. “This will take us out to the river.” Tyrion walked slowly to the ladder, ran his hand across the lowest rung. “This will take me up to my bedchamber.”
“Your lord father’s bedchamber now.”
He looked up the shaft. “How far must I climb?”
“My lord, you are too weak for such follies, and there is besides no time. We must go.”
“I have business above. How far?”
“Two hundred and thirty rungs, but whatever you intend-”
“Two hundred and thirty rungs, and then?”
“The tunnel to the left, but hear me -”
“How far along to the bedchamber?” Tyrion lifted a foot to the lowest rung of the ladder. “No more than sixty feet. Keep one hand on the wall as you go. You will feel the doors. The bedchamber is the third.” He sighed. “This is folly, my lord. Your brother has given you your life back. Would you cast it away, and mine with it?”
“Varys, the only thing I value less than my life just now is yours. Wait for me here.” He turned his back on the eunuch and began to climb, counting silently as he went.

Där hittade han Shae i sängen av Tywin Lannister, mannen som offentligt föraktade Whores och Whoremongers. Shae hade sålt ut till Cersei för att se Tyrion hängde och hade den ljuga tanken att kalla honom "My Giant of Lannister" vid den tiden och dog för den.
“M’lord?” a woman’s voice called.
That might have hurt me once, when I still felt pain. The first step was the hardest. When he reached the bed Tyrion pulled the draperies aside and there she was, turning toward him with a sleepy smile on her lips. It died when she saw him. She pulled the blankets up to her chin, as if that would protect her. “Were you expecting someone taller, sweetling?”
Big wet tears filled her eyes. “I never meant those things I said, the queen made me. Please. Your father frightens me so.” She sat up, letting the blanket slide down to her lap. Beneath it she was naked, but for the chain about her throat. A chain of linked golden hands, each holding the next.
“My lady Shae,” Tyrion said softly. “All the time I sat in the black cell waiting to die, I kept remembering how beautiful you were. in silk or roughspun or nothing at all...”
“M’lord will be back soon. You should go, or... did you come to take me away?”
“Did you ever like it?” He cupped her cheek, remembering all the times he had done this before. All the times he’d slid his hands around her waist, squeezed her small firm breasts, stroked her short dark hair, touched her lips, her cheeks, her ears. All the times he had opened her with a finger to probe her secret sweetness and make her moan. “Did you ever like my touch?”
“More than anything,” she said, “my giant of Lannister.”
That was the worst thing you could have said, sweetling.

Då plockade han upp vapen:
Afterward he found Lord Tywin’s dagger on the bedside table and shoved it through his belt. A lion-headed mace, a poleaxe, and a crossbow had been hung on the walls. The poleaxe would be clumsy to wield inside a castle, and the mace was too high to reach, but a large wood-and-iron chest had been placed against the wall directly under the crossbow. He climbed up, pulled down the bow and a leather quiver packed with quarrels, jammed a foot into the stirrup, and pushed down until the bowstring cocked. Then he slipped a bolt into the notch.

Då hittade Tyrion sin far och frågade honom var Tysha gick. Tywin kallade henne en höra. Tyrion varnade honom för att använda det ordet. Tywin gjorde det igen. Tyrion sköt honom och lämnade sedan.
“We can talk here just as well. Perhaps I don’t choose to go to the Wall, Father. It’s bloody cold up there, and I believe I’ve had enough coldness from you. So just tell me something, and I’ll be on my way. One simple question, you owe me that much.”
“I owe you nothing.”
“You’ve given me less than that, all my life, but you’ll give me this. What did you do with Tysha?”
“Tysha?”
He does not even remember her name. “The girl I married.”
“Oh, yes. Your first whore.”
Tyrion took aim at his father’s chest. “The next time you say that word, I’ll kill you.”
“You do not have the courage.”
“Shall we find out? It’s a short word, and it seems to come so easily to your lips.” Tyrion gestured impatiently with the bow. “Tysha. What did you do with her, after my little lesson?”
“I don’t recall.”
“Try harder. Did you have her killed?”
His father pursed his lips. “There was no reason for that, she’d learned her place... and had been well paid for her day’s work, I seem to recall. I suppose the steward sent her on her way. I never thought to inquire.”
“On her way where?”
“Wherever whores go.”
Tyrion’s finger clenched. The crossbow whanged just as Lord Tywin started to rise. The bolt slammed into him above the groin and he sat back down with a grunt.
ASOS - Tyrion IX
Så nu förstår du, varför gjorde Tyrion det. Det var emotionellt trauma, ilska och skuld som ledde honom att göra vad han gjorde. Människor tenderar att agera hänsynslöst under sådana omständigheter.
