I'm a season behind as I've been from the start, but I agree about Tywin. Legolas Send a noteboard - 23/04/2013 10:31:37 PM

View original postIt was excellent across the board, with the last bit in Astapor really being a Crowning Moment of Awesomeness, this is IMHO the first time she's done much of anything interesting on the show, and even in the books it sort of a turning moment for Daenerys. I like the way they've been doing Tywin too, he doesn't exactly come of sympathetic but they've made him a good deal more real and human then he came of in the books, to me anyway.

Well, I guess I'm only four episodes behind right now, having torn through the second season on DVD. Anyhow. The Arya-Tywin scenes in season two are some of the best character moments of that season, possibly of the whole show, rivaled only by some of Cersei's scenes with Sansa. Which now makes me wonder if that parallel between the two older-cynical-Lannister-with-young-naive-Stark "couples" was intentional.

It's funny, in a few cases like Joffrey, the show goes out of its way to make him perhaps even worse than in the books, Stannis comes off rather worse as well, but with Tywin and Cersei they do the opposite. Perhaps because the audience would not take too kindly to the period of Lannister domination, temporary though it may be, if there were no likeable characters left on that side.
