Given there were so many characters in Game of Thrones, it's not the kind of show where there'll be anything approaching a consensus when it comes to picking the best character. However, one individual who'll always be a contender is Tyrion Lannister , who's charismatic, funny, and something of an underdog in the world of Westeros.
It's good then that the finale of season 4 gives various characters the chance to shine, wrapping up the events from the dramatic third book in the series that was adapted into seasons 3 and 4. One pivotal event in the season finale, “The Children,” is Tyrion Lannister taking out one of the show’s best antagonists: his father, Tywin Lannister, brutally reminding him “I have always been your son” before finishing him off with a crossbow.
Thankfully, things got a bit more ambitious and action-heavy in the second season, with the penultimate episode of season 2, “Blackwater,” featuring one of the biggest and most nail-biting action sequences in the show’s entire eight-season run.
During a scene where Tyrion effectively banishes Slynt to Castle Black, the latter says, “I won't have my honor questioned by an imp!”, to which the former replies, “I'm not questioning your honor, Lord Janos. I'm denying its existence.” It’s the sort of brutal takedown that might even make the profane characters of Veep blush, and is part of a remarkably cathartic scene that sees Tyrion enforcing some level of justice and retribution for season 1’s most upsetting moment.
One of their best and most vicious confrontations comes in season 2’s “The Prince of Winterfell,” with Tyrion expertly invoking the House Lannister motto of “A Lannister always pays his debts,” after he reveals how disgusted he is about Cersei kidnapping and torturing Ros, because she suspects Tyrion’s plotting to kill Joffrey. It’s the culmination of an entire season’s worth of House Lannister infighting, and Tyrion’s threat to his sister here hangs heavy over the seasons to come.
