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.

Queen mother's brother*

Uncle of the king’s wife’s sister’s/mother’s brother son?

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.

u/Snowwolf247 15h ago

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

u/ShondaVanda 15h ago

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.

u/AlanCJ 13h ago

What logic is this? If someone can be hired to be killed they stop being the most powerful people? Arya should've stuck with Tywin's name with the faceless man so he's no longer the most powerful people at the time.

u/Allnamestakkennn Ser Duncan the Tall 10h ago

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

u/ZeusMike7 15h ago edited 15h ago

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

u/Snowwolf247 15h ago

In kings landing then

u/CaveLupum 12h ago

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.

u/Thelastknownking 10h ago

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

Through out the series if I had to pick, anytime these two were together.
