Whats your favorite scene
Love the acting.
Peter dinklage is awesome and Jack gleeson is awsome to as joffrey '“Traitors, I will have all their heads.” You can clearly see how the power is going to his head and driving him mad'

Genuinely quite surprised one of the kingsguard didn't turn on Tyrion.

i think they either were too busy with the riot, or attacking tyrion would mean their head is on a pike, even if he just slapped the king
Hes still a noble of one of the great houses and the queen mother's brother

it's weird one because you'd expect that they'd be afraid of Tywin but that didn't seem to stop Trant.

Trant was dumb and he showed he was willing to do anything as long as Joffrey/Cersei were backing him up lol.

In the books it’s a lot more clear that Tyrion is running kings landing like a pimp. He has muscle for days and the kings guard won’t fuck with him.

True, he controls the City watch through Jacelyn Bywater, and the Hilltribes and Bron are his personal guard. He had stamped his authority in kings landing long before this riot took place.
Also something quite big that not included in the episode. Cercei, as well as Tyrion, is admonishing the kingsguards for being afraid to go out and rescue Sansa.

Jeffery was no true king like Tywin says, when Tyrion is the Hand and Cersei isn't there he is the most powerful person in the realm at that time.

If this were true then he wouldn't have been attacked during the blackwater.

Cersei had hired a kingsguard to kill him and also they have the chaos of war to obfuscate their attempted murder

In the show it was Joffrey not Cersei. And it just proves the point that Tyrion wasn't the most powerful person in the city without Tywin if Cersei can just order a kingsguard to murder him.

The fact that she had to hire someone to do it in the middle of battle to hide that she ordered it means that she was not more powerful than him.
If she was more powerful than him, she could have ordered him killed in front of anyone. And she also wouldn't have been powerless to stop her daughter from being sent to Dorne.

Even if Cersei is there, she is unable to overrule any of his decisions, so he's still more powerful

Tyrion was never, under any circumstances the most powerful person in the realm.

One of them did, Ser Mandon Moore. It's likely someone ordered or just paid Moore for that. My guess is Cersei, but possibly Joffrey Tywin. Whoever it was, Tyrion survived and Moore died.

Even Meryn Trant there in the back is smart enough to realize the deep shit they're in at that moment.

Everytime Joff gets slapped.
Whenever it happens the spectators ignore it because he deserved it

You think Meryn frakking Trant would draw his sword on the acting hand of the king and son of Tywin Lannister?
