Can somebody tell me what happened to Winterfell? Was is the whole town that got burned or just the castle? Who burned it and why burn it if they surrendered?

dude....

did you miss the part where tywin doesn't give a fidduck about tyrion lol

you being to disney about this fam....if tyrion was a b*stard like jon snow, he'd be picking up tywins horses shyt from the court entrance
:yeshrug:...like I said, I know he and tyrion didn't have the best relationship, but by the end of last season it had seemed like he had grown some measure of respect for him...more than anything Tywin seems to be somebody that really cared about the family's legacy and the work his children put in towards that end...before he was just a midget black sheep son that got drunk and smashed whores, but as of the timeline of the series he's proven himself to be a useful, productive member of the family... that he sent Tyrion to serve as Hand of the King in his absence at all spoke volumes in itself (both as for the respect he had for Tyrion's judgement and as an indictment of Cersi's)...just doesn't make sense to me that he'd just disregard everything Tyrion did in advancement of House Lannister and just throw him in the bushes on account of Cersi's typical paranoid womanly bytchiness...especially considering her son's recklessness got them into the war in the first place

think you have read too much into Tywin giving tyrion the position as "hand of the king"

it wasnt cos all of a sudden he had respect for him, its just tyrion showed that maybe he wasnt the fukk up Tywin thought he was...

jamie had been captured...

the other lannisters was getting eaten by the Wolf Squad..

and cersei/joff was fukking things up @ kings landing...

Guess I did...cause entrusting the entire kingdom in a crucial time of war to somebody you previously figured was a worthless whoremongering drunk seemed to me a lil more significant than trusting your fukk up son to pick up your dry cleaning or something...at the very least it seemed to suggest he had more trust and respect for Tyrion's competence than Cersi/Joffrey or anybody else he could have propped up in his place..just doesn't make sense to me why they'd go from where they left off to all of a sudden him not caring if Cersi had him killed for no good reason so much that he had to hide in his own city...considering the only thing that happened in the interim was Tyrion doing what Tywin sent him to do with great success...had it not been from Tyrion, Kings Landing would prolly been burned to the ground by the wildfire instead of destroying Stannis' fleet and giving them a fighting chance till Pops and the Tyrells got there

No one likes Tyrion. Tywin blames him for his wife's death, as she died during childbirth. He also doesn't like Tyrion's renegade streak and penchant for things like whores. The problem is that he does know that Tyrion is better suited for politics than either Cersei or Jaime, which frustrates him, but means he uses Tyrion when he feels he absolutely has to. He always knew Tyrion was smart. He just despises him, too, and doesn't want to use him more than he feels is necessary.

I see your point but Tywin is for the Lannisters first and foremost and Jaime got captured...so who else was he going to make hand but Tyrion? Arguably he has no option but give it to the 'imp'.

TBF if I was watching the programme without the benefit reading the books, I'd find a lot of the decision making on behalf of the characters rather bizarre.

As a book reader and Danny's biggest backer...I hated the finale, completely butchered the House of Undying; it was a complete let down on all levels.

I hear you, its just that at the time of him giving tyrion the job there was no one else.

As for the aftermath of the battle, well "history is written by the victors" tyrion has got noone to back him up cos everyone around him he had to pay for, so someone paid them more, apart from the homie Pod, the wildfire was never his idea in the first place and it ended up being that faq carcetti that saved the day.

And fam. Tywin's cold, who is he gonna back, his grandson The King and his daughter The Queen Regent or Tyrion.

Its easy to feel bad for Lil Man but dude was playing too many sides and it caught up with him, being the Hand of The King is a shyt job.
