Hear Me Roar! House Lannister Appreciation

I always thought it ironic the word choice in Viserion's description:

I feel ashamed but i can never tell them apart i wish they would make the colour differences more apparent, i think its just the dark tomb. We haven't seen their colours for ages.

yeah, i couldn't tell anything in that dark lighting either, but ia that vis will be tyrion's.

Can we just stop for a moment to appreciate how amazing that scene is...the first person in...what, hundreds of years, ever to just flat have a convo with dragons...

So, are we to presume that dragons understand the common tongue from having been around it or what? We know Tyrion's Valyrian kind of sucks, but that didn't seem to prevent communication.

First person to show them respect that wasn't mothering or fear. Yep, I'd say they think he's pretty great.

i agree.
It's like when they say "a horse can tell when you're scared"
I think the dragons sense he didn't mean harm

The show's favoritism of Tyrion never ceases to amaze me.

Of course Tyrion undestands the dragons better than their Mother.
Of course the sex slave offers herself to him for free, and he turns her down.
Of course Shae shot first!
Of course he never intended to consumate the marriage to Sansa.

Bleurgh.

That said, I love Book Tyrion, despite all. he's my favourite Lannister, though Cersei sometimes gives him a run for the money, though in her case it's more of the love to hate her kind of love.

OTOH I'm one of the few people in the world who loathe Goldenhand the Just. I can't but LOL at that 'redemption' arch. You have not changed, Flinger of Children, you're just pissed because Cersei gave you horns and you're trying to find a new way to feel good about yourself now when you're a cripple and a cuckold. He congratulates himself on "not taking up the arms against the Tullys" while threatening to fling Edmure's new born child against the castle walls if Blackfish doesn't give up. What an honorable oathkeeper, my old and saggy arse.

His chapters are still fun to read, tho.

In the show, Cersei is the best of them by far; she's both amusing to watch and mostly reasonable and good.

That is true (hence "mostly reasonable and good"), but at least she had Lady killed and the War of the 5 Kings is essentially her fault. Tyrion is just flawless; not only his crimes are absent, but he's often shown to be morally upstanding like in the case of the slave girl he turned down. Not even he doesn't rape her, he's too love with the memory of Shae to have sex with any woman so soon. In the books he's raping the poor beaten down woman. It's vomit-inducing.
