10 Things You Learn Rewatching Game Of Thrones Season 4

2. The Greatest Ever Scene In Game Of Thrones

The Battle of Blackwater Bay. The Red Wedding. The Watchers On The Wall. The Battle of Hardhome. Ned Stark's death. There have been some utterly jaw-dropping moments in Thrones, but none quite so outstanding as Tyrion's speech during his trial.

I'd go as far as saying that it is genuinely the greatest scene in Thrones history, with Peter Dinklage absolutely nailing every single word that comes out of his mouth.

Looking at it with a wider perspective, this seems to be the moment when Tyrion 100% realises that he is completely finished with the Lannister family. He bided his time for an escape route, but the trial, and bringing Shae to the stand, severed the very last tie between Tyrion and King's Landing.
