His single shot - which actually looked pretty much identical to a shot used in a previous trailer (albeit with an older, slightly gnarlier Tyrion) - is also emblematic of his treatment as a whole over the past few seasons. He's a stark reminder in the show of George RR Martin's presence (like, literally), and it almost feels like he's being shunted aside on purpose because of that.
A little more would have gone a long way.
