10 Confusing Game Of Thrones Moments Nobody Understands
7. Tyrion Kills Tywin
Tyrion killing his father is not that confusing - it makes sense, given his father Tywin spent almost all his time on screen barely bothering to conceal his hatred for him.
One of season 5's big "oh my god" moments had certainly been building, but the actual context of the scene is confusing. The catalyst for the murder isn't any of the awful things Tywin says to Tyrion, instead it's that he calls his son's ex-girlfriend Shea a...well, not a very nice word. Fair enough, ordinarily - but remember, Tyrion himself had literally just murdered her. Why would he care at that point?
Don't forget, at one point Tywin tells Tyrion that he wanted to drown him when he was born. Tyrion lets that one pass, but kills him for insulting Shea? Where's the logic in that?
