Thats a really good point and I have been thinking the exact same thing. One of the most satisfying aspects of Martin's book, in regards to his villains, is watching them gather power, shit on all the characters you love and then finally...and oh so satisfyingly get some sort of justice served to them. This is why we love to hate Joffrey and Cersie, and why we are so happy that Tyrion kills his father who has been literally tormenting him his entire life. Now, as you say, we have seen almost another side of Tywin that we did not in the books (because he never got a PoV chapter, and maybe there is a good reason for that). So it seems like it will not be quite as satisfying to see the King of the Rock try and shit gold.
This is a big arguing point between my brother and I.
This. I never really thought tywin was bad until tyrion goes up into his room. He seems disconnected, but i always got the feeling cersei was the one behind stuff. The moment in tywin's bedroom changes viewpoints about him drastically.
Other stupid people have claimed he was poisoned, in this thread, because his poop stunk. Yeah.
Except those chapters are all written in Tyrion's point of view and we hear his thoughts. So no.
