Analysis: Was Tyrion Lannister really 'the cleverest man alive'? He’s always made big mistakes.
Tyrion Lannister has made disastrous mistakes since Season 1. Why are we surprised he’s acting silly now? By Travis M. Andrews Travis M. Andrews Pop culture reporter covering music, movies, TV, comedy and celebrity culture Email Bio Follow May 9 at 7:00 AM As always, this post contains a multitude of spoilers for “Game of Thrones.” Otherwise, it would be very short. On Sunday’s episode of “Game of Thrones,” he literally took a ship mast to the head before blacking out .
Maybe we’re giving old Tyrion too much credit. Sure, he’s always been fantastically witty, and he’s certainly knowledgeable. Plus, he’s done some great things, such as crafting a winning strategy for the Battle of the Blackwater. Tyrion is something of an addict, as culture critics Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald mention on their podcast, “The Watch.” When we meet him, he’s spending a healthy amount of his time in brothels. Otherwise, he has a bottle of wine glued to his mouth.
Still, the supposedly brilliant Tyrion allows himself to be set up by none other than Petyr Baelish , a man who never met a soul he did not betray. Littlefinger insinuates that Tyrion is to blame for Bran’s attempted murder, which leads Catelyn to kidnap Tyrion and thus start the war that kicks off all the trouble we find Westeros in now. When Tyrion finally finds freedom again, he doesn’t do anything to Littlefinger. Instead, it’s water under the bridge.
Why not just, I dunno, stay away? But Tyrion can’t do that — he’s addicted to being near the center of the action, and he makes mistakes because of it.
