3. Tyrion's Dark Side
Seasons 3 and 4 will see a vengeful and murderous version of Peter Dinklage's Emmy-winning dwarf. Having been rescued from his captivity by his brother Jaime and a reluctant Varys, he discovers that at the insistence of their father, Lord Tywin, Jaime had told Tyrion that the girl he had fallen in love with and married in his youth, Tysha, was a prostitute, having her passed around their household guards to prove the point, when in reality this was a lie concocted by a disapproving Tywin, and she truly had loved him in return. Enraged at a father already guilty of overlooking his talents for the entirety of his life, he risks his new-found freedom to confront the man, finding a hypocritical Tywin in the presence of Shae, the prostitute that Tyrion himself had grown attached to and been betrayed by. Killing both in cold blood, the scene will show viewers a new, more brutal side to one of their favourite characters as he prepares for life as a fugitive.
