Game of Thrones is seeing a lot of changes in its new season. Most if not all characters are facing new storylines in new worlds. One of those characters if show and book favorite, Tyrion Lannister. He is now on the run bound for Essos having just murdered his father and his lover.
Peter Dinklage who plays Tyrion spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the new season and revealed his all-time favorite scene. Here are some highlights.
On searching for Daenerys
“He’s curious. He’s heard so many stories about this woman. He hears that she’s a kindred spirit, someone who’s an outsider who’s been pushed to the edges, but has an unfortunate, dirty last name. Everybody associates the Targaryens with the Mad King. He wants to know her in person and is tired of hearing the stories. Varys helps convince him of the reality of her. And I think dragons are a big part of it – everybody is denying the reality of these creatures and certainly Tyrion has as well. But just like Tyrion going to The Wall in season one, he likes to see things first hand.”
On his favorite scene
“Yeah, I love reading these scripts. I loved the scene with [Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in season 4] when we’re talking about our cousin. There’s so much in the show that’s necessary to push the story forward because everybody is just trying to stay alive. And so many of those scenes last year in the cell really defined all these different relationships in Tyrion’s life. I loved the lines about their cousin, who’s a bit thick and smashing the beetles. Because it was about something from their past. It’s like Tyrion’s in shock, or something. He doesn’t know why he’s telling that story and he just wants to know what it was about, and what life is about, and it had such an abstract non-f–king King’s Landing feel to it. It was such a fresh breath. I loved that monologue. Whether I serviced it or not is a matter of opinion.”
On whether Tyrion will end up on the Iron Throne
“Nothing is certain, obviously. In that scene when I say that I’m in a very dark place, filled with self loathing. I just want to curl up in a dark corner and die. That’s not a time when you would say, “You know, I think I could sit on the Iron Throne.” The interesting thing is he doesn’t stay in that dark place for too long and if that question was posed to him later in the season I think he might have a different response. He’s also at this point in the show where he knows how the world views him and he’s being honest as well – “Those f–kers just wanted me to die, I’m a dwarf and everybody still sees me as that and only that.” I think he could and that he would do a damn fine job. I’d like him to get on the Iron Throne and melt it and create a democracy. I know that’s a contemporary idea for a show like this.”
