Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best
5. Tywin/Shae
Death: Shae was strangled to death by Tyrion, who then confronted his father on the toilet and ended up killing him with a crossbow.
A demented and bloody mix of betrayal and revenge that presents yet another shocking, emotional and morally ambiguous tragedy within this dark, complex world, this is likely to leave many viewers absolutely speechless.
This represents a brilliant ending for Tywin, as his prioritisation of power above all else and mistreatment of his children finally brought about his end and it provides a shocking, tragic end to Tyrion and Shae's storyline. That particular detail hits harder than in the books, since Shae in the books doesn't love Tyrion while in the show she does.
Speaking of the books, some might disagree with a certain change, but this is still an absolutely great and hauntingly powerful representation of Tyrion's darkest hour. The only downside is that it wasn't mentioned enough in later seasons and didn't have a proper effect on Tyrion's character arc.
