Warning Game of Thrones Season Finale Spoilers Follow: When we last left Westeros, (Peter Dinklage) Tyrion Lannister had up to…...Let us try that again. Tyrion Lannister was so fed up with his father’s meddling that he decided to kill him with a crossbow on the toilet. OK! so that may be oversimplifying things. Now George R.R. Martin has opened up about why Tyrion committed patricide on Father’s Day.
Nothing says happy Father’s Day quite like a arrow to the chest. Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly about Tyrion’s daddy issues:
“I think sometimes people just get pushed too far, sometimes people break. And I think Tyrion has reached his point. He’s been through hell, he’s faced death over and over again, and he’s been betrayed, as he sees it, by all the people that he’s tried to take care of, that he’s tried to win the approval of. He’s been trying to win his father’s approval all his life. And despite his misgivings, he fell in love with Shae, he let himself give his heart to her. It just reaches a point where he can’t do it anymore. I think the two actions are quite different, although they occur within moments of each other.”
Still it is a lot better than most of the wedding gifts that people get on the show. Maybe they should make a Game of Thrones Christmas episode.
Martin also opened up about what life will be like for Tyrion now that he can’t claim the Lannister name:
“He’s going to be smuggled somewhere to safety, but what the hell is he gonna do there? He’s lost his position in House Lannister, he’s lost his position in court, he’s lost all of his gold--which is the one thing that’s kind of sustained him throughout his life. Whatever disadvantages he’s had in terms being a dwarf, he didn’t have the sort of physical abilities to be a knight, but he had the great advantage of an ancient and powerful name and all the gold that he could want to buy things --including followers like Bronn and other people to defend him.”
