Tywin Lannister plots to out-plot the Tyrells by marrying off Cersei and Tyrion to Loras Tyrell and Sansa Stark. Cersei changes from extreme smugness to despair so fast she suffers whiplash.
I love how she goes from “I am Queen Regent!” to “Father don’t make me do it again, please” in the span of 10 seconds. Everyone in Tywin’s presence crumbles under his aura of absolute authority. Charles Dance was incredible in this role.

jkrfan7 What cersei said really pissed me off. More than he deserves? The guy saved her was during the battle of the blackwater despite her and her stupid son constantly plotting against him and trying to kill him.
Because Jamie was the perfect child. Tall, handsome, male, great warrior everything Tywin could ask for. His only issue was he was a kings guard thus could never be heir.
@@calikid05 he was perfect as a military commander and warrior when he had his hand. If he had Tywin political cunning , that there you have the perfect Lannister
@@mr.raslyon6626 And that had largely to do with Jaime chosing to be a Kingsguard rather than be heir to the Lannister family. Had Jaime stayed as heir and done what Tywin saw as his duty to the family then Tywin would have been very happy with him, he would be an excellent heir even if he wasn't as brilliant as Tywin himself.
I love how Cersei is the queen and practically one of the most powerful people in the seven kingdom, but when Tywin is in the room, she's just a frightened little girl who obey her father.
@@aceclover758 Perhaps you haven't read the books and doesn't understand what does that mean exactly. Queen Regent has much more power than the Queen. Whatever holds the regency is the most powerful person in the Kingdom as it rules in the King's name until the King reaches adulthood.
@@Argumemnon Yes. He is one of the greatest villains I've ever seen. If he was a real person, people would love him for being such a ruthless, brilliant, bastard.
Tywin wanted his children to do as he wanted but he never wanted to admit that Cersei and Jaime shagged each other right before his nose. Then he ended up killed by his own son Tyrion after doing him so much harm. He was powerful yes, but he was still full of what makes the grass green.
I love how Cersei is so bitchily smug at Tyrion's forced marriage until Daddy knocks her down a peg. This is such a great scene, I adore Tywin. He's my favorite character on the show.
He also specifically waited to tell her about her impending marriage until after she gloated over Tyrion. Almost like he wanted her to show off how casually cruel she is.
The fact she believed she was only there to be smug at Tyrion is kinda hilarious, when Tywin does one better and says she'll be required to do the exact same thing as him. She thinks she knows her father so well, but completely disregards the fact that her father wouldn’t let her be apart of meetings just so she can mock others.
@@jamaljames9331 Imagine if Tyrion is a normal man,then he will be the perfect successor of Tywin by right and by personality. Jaime is a king’s-guard and not as smart&cunning,Cersei is dumb af while being a woman means no right already in Westeros. Tyrion is the mix of Tywin and Ned,a cunning politician with a sense of honor.
@@stomp21 Mm yeah? He was praising her acting abilities. Another actress could also be handed some instructions and a script. The results are not always convincing you know.
Anybody else giggling like mad at how quickly that smug look falls off of Cersei's face? I've watched this about 10 times and laugh like a lunatic every time. Charles Dance = THE MAN.
Too bad marrying Loras never happened. At the same time I'm disappointed and glad but I wanted to see what happen if they did get marry. She would probably kill the unborn child inside her before he or she comes out and she’d take away High Garden from him and the family or burn it. She is a cruel bitch but not the only one in the show. Lol
@@casper6405 I really don't think so. Tywin does not appreciate any of his children, no matter who they are or what they do. He treats them all with despite, like they are inferior and only inconvenient chess pieces he has to deal with.
@@gatinha1809 Yeah, Tyrion pretty much throws that at him, and the only thing Tywin ever did that was purely to further the Lannister's goals and not coincidentally his own aswell, was him not murdering Tyrion immediately after birth.
"It is past time you were wed." "I was wed." Dinklage delivers this line with such intensity, you really feel that wound of his first "marriage" will never truly heal
I cannot wait to read "Winds of Winter", where George RR Martin stated that Tyrion will find out "where whores go"... That is, if he can finish the freaking book in this lifetime...😅
You have to credit Tyrion for his genuine empathy towards Sansa. Tyrion knew that Sansa earlier lived in a fairy tale fantasy world of princes and princesses. He knew she needed to grow out it, but he also knew it was hard to think of anything crueler to her than to chain her to a Dwarf, and a member of the family that had decimated hers. Tyrion had no issue with paying whores to bed him, but had no delusions about what the prospect would do to Sansa. Also credit Dinklage for the acting job, once it sinks in what exactly Tywin has in mind.
Cersei’s last attempt at manipulation is to change her voice to that reminiscent of a soft spoken young girl and she begs Tywin “please father don’t make me do it again”. I love that part of this scene because it shows you the deep seeded ptsd Tywins kids still harbor from their childhood from being controlled by him for so long
I don't even know if that's an intentional manipulation on Cersei's part. She may just be mentally reverting to a childlike state after that. As you said, deep seated PTSD from childhood.
Arranged marriage is expected with lords and ladies. She didnt like Robert sure and will not like the effeminate Loras sure but she's really just a weirdo who wants to stay single and continue a taboo incest relationship.
Thing is... Tyrion was a good husband to Sansa.... and considering that a girl of Sansa's status doesn't get a choice in who she marries, Tyrion would've been the best husband she could hope for
Jon-Michael Harris Garlan the Gallant have said so. She was hoping to marry Mylas Tyrell(or whatever his name, I don't exactly remember), but Loras' elder brother have told her that Tyrion would be the best husband she could hooe for, if only she gives a chance
Disagree completely. I hate when people act like Sansa should be grateful for being with Tyrion. Most other girls have their marriages arranged by their fathers and they don’t have much say but they have the advantage that their father would usually find a decent man for her. She would trust her fathers judgement. Sansa didn’t have that because the marriage was arranged by Tywin, the man her brother was actively fighting against. People forget that Sansa isn’t all knowing like us, she doesn’t know Tyrion as a person and his motives. She was forced into a marriage by her enemy and married to her enemy. Tyrion was also fighting against her brother, he fought in a battle against her brothers men and for a full season fought to keep Joffrey in power. He only once helped by stopping Sansas abuse in the throne room but Sansa could have just seen that as a way to keep Joffrey in check. She couldn’t know whether Tyrion was looking out for her or just keeping Joffrey in line. He never does anything else to help her that she sees. He checks if she’s okay after the riot but he didn’t save her. Sansa wouldn’t see that as a kindness but just a formality. We know Tyrion and we like Tyrion but Sansa doesn’t and people gotta remember that. They whitewashed Tyrion in the show but the real Tyrion is very dark and says some disturbing stuff to Sansa. I’m not a Sansan shipper but honestly the way Tyrion turns out so far in the books I think Sansa would be better off marrying The Hound. Willas Tyrell would have been good even though Sansa was being used as a pawn she probably would have had a easy life, I’d say there’s a good few of the northern lords or their sons who would have treated her kindly too.
Tywin says at the beginning that their business here includes Cersei too, but shes so busy reveling in Tyrion's misery that she doesn't even question what her role is. Truly captures how short-sighted she is.
and she keeps doing it again and again. I was so ticked off with her being all hogh and mighty about the high sparrow when she was the one who gave him power in the first place cause she didnt like the tyrel girl woeing her son.
Charles Dance simply being great. His performance as Tywin was outstanding! I honestly believe he was the only one who actually knew how to play the Game of Thrones. A truly amazing character.
If he was still around after Season 4, I’m sure D&D would’ve butchered his character too. Every single character that’s supposed to be intelligent is turned stupid in order to drive the plot
Understated best part of this scene: Even after Cersei laughed at Tyrion's situation, he didn't laugh at hers. When Tywin revealed his plans for Cersei, Tyrion looked at her with concern. They never got along and she was always horrible to him, but he still cared for her and knew how traumatized she had been in her first arranged marriage. Such phenomenal acting by all three in this scene.
@@thomasraines1396Yeah in the books he's a bitter little cunt 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Understandable though as for all his life he's been mocked and ridiculed for being a dwarf and blamed for killing his mother. He still has a sense of humour but he's much more vicious and bitter in the books especially after killing Shae and Tywin
In the books Tyrion is much more…I won’t say evil, that’s too extreme, instead I’ll say “conflictive” The show changes him into more of a morally likable character.
How it should have gone: Tywin: "You're my daughter!" Tyrion: "Any man who must say 'you're my daughter' is no true father." Tywin: "Wait what?" Tyrion: "The hand of the king is tired, see him to his chambers." Tywin: "I'm not tired!"
The way he says You're late, already makes it a great scene. The fact that Tywin, Jaime, Cercei and Tyrion never share a scene together, is one of my biggest show regrets.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 You clearly haven’t read the books. Considering that in the books it’s stated that: Joanna's marriage to Tywin was reportedly a happy one, and she became Tywin's trusted counselor and companion. Her influence on her husband was such that people say that Tywin ruled the Seven Kingdoms as Hand, "but was ruled at home by his lady wife.” She’s also the only person that is said to have ever gotten him to actually smile.
“No wonder the only person willing to marry him was his cousin.” Where in the books is Joanna being the “only” one willing to marry Tywin ever stated or even insinuated? Or did you just assume that?
I'm always blown away by the levels of dialogue and subtlety. It's insane thinking that after season 4, there are no scenes that are on the same level as even the most mundane scenes from the first 4 seasons.
Tywin: "Tyrion will do as he's bid. As will you." Cercei: "What do you mean?" Tywin: "You will marry the Night King." Cercei: "I will not." Tywin: "The Night King is heir to the North beyond the wall. Tyrion will secure the North and you will secure beyond that." Cercei: "No, I won't do it." Tywin: "Yes you will. You're still fertile. You need to marry again and breed more White Walkers."
Laughing at how Tywin shouts Cersei down but not Tyrion. He acknowledges Tyrion's concerns and in a twisted, Lannister way, kind of respects that Tyrion has them. On the other hand (not pun intended) he knows that Cersei is just whining for the sake of it
I think in a way he IS thinking about his kids too. Cersei needs to be married off politically, otherwise, she's useless to the family if not an outright liability with her scheming, but since she obviously doesn't like the idea, Sir Loras is a good fit since both will just have to get through the bedding on the wedding night and then neither has to touch each other again, which both will be fine with. Likewise with Tyrion, he's getting his son a pretty wife who's intelligent and emphatic, just like him. Furthermore, she'll be heir to the north once Rob's been dealt with. Tyrion would be hard-pressed to get a marriage that good if he wasn't a dwarf, being the second son. And here's why I think Tywin is partly doing this for his children's sake. If he just wanted to ruin the Tyrell plot, he would just have to marry one of them, not both. He could be using Cersei to secure another alliance.
@@tsgod6584 he’s only not cruel to Tyrion when he needs him. He continually screws him over until Tyrion can’t stand it and kills him. Besides Cersei Tywin was probably the most cruel to Tyrion, so I really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Every time I watch a Tywin scene from this series, for a few hours after, my posture is straighter and my voice has more command. He just inspires energy!
This era of the show was so freaking good. The Lannister's become the main characters in a way; all so compelling and well written, and ending in a Shakespearean tragedy with Tyrion killing Tywin. Just wonderful stuff.
Tyrion, saying how cruel it is to marry Sansa to himself, shows his self-awareness. While he was her best husband, and would treat her very well, he knows that she would be known as the bride of The Imp and would be degrading to her.
The look in Lena Headley's face when Tywin starts yelling is SUCH A GOOD representation of a person having a trauma response. The blank, wide-eyed stare into the middle distance, the lowered gaze, the quiet voice. What a fantastic actress she is.
@@Petey0707 I agree. My step-mom was forced to rush her first marriage with no ceremony. When she divorced and started seeing my Dad, the death of my mom and the ensuing custody battle with his family forced her into a quick county clerk marriage again. Then she physically and emotionally abused my sister and I for the next 7 years. So I totally get it. True story BTW.
@@Petey0707 "patRiaRHAl fEudAL syStem" shut yo ranky ranky doodle fuck ass up it's just Tywin being the master manipulator. He literally arranged a marriage for Tyrion in the same scene. Was that matriarchy then since Tyrion was a man? No, its monarchy. Tywin is King (Lord) of Casterly Rock, and his children are his subjects
Based on "you're my daughter" and "they have my son", Tywin only yells when stating the location or general existence of one of his children. Other top hits (probably) include: "My son is in the privy!" "My daughter is over there!" "My grandson has been sent to bed!"
It's amazing how Twyin can see 3 steps ahead. He's already written off all the other stark children as heirs to the north, and landed on Sansa as the eventual heir with the knowledge available to him. He was truly one of the best players in the game of thrones.
I'd kill for a scene with him and Roose Bolton together. And Rasmey slapping around Joffrey. "You like to play games, little man?" "I am... the KING!" **slap**
One of the very, very few cases where the show version of the character is superior to the book version. And that's solely due to Charles Dance's amazing performance.
Charles Dance is an amazing character and portrays Tywin so well but I think it’s a little twisted to say Tywin is your favourite character. He’s a very evil guy who has arguably done worse things then Joffrey but people seem to forget about his past. He sent out The Mountain to rape and murder throughout the riverlands not attacking soldiers but innocent people. He sent the mountain to kill Elia martell and her children. He might not have ordered Gregor to do what he did but Tywin was fully aware what Gregor would likely do. He’s smart and Gregor isn’t a monster in disguise. Twyin murdered an entire family when they rose up against him. It would be like if Tywin wound you the starks and drowned them all in a cave. Do Sansa, Arya, bran or Rickon deserve to die if the adult members of their family disobeyed another lord? No but that’s how brutal Tywin is. Ned would never do that.
@@EmBlanca just cause somebody says their favorite character is x it doesn't necessarily mean they want to embody that character. Tywin was a character that was developed well in both book and show but in different subtle ways, and Charles Dance was one of the best actors on the show. Tywin was featured in plenty of scenes before being killed off in an awesome fashion before the show started circling down the drain. He was simply a deep and entertaining character
@@EmBlanca my favorite character in Batman is Joker. That doesn't mean I idolize him or want to be like him. It means I appreciate the writing and the performance by Heath Leger as well as his role in the story.
@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 yes bc the show completely rewrote twin's character and his role in the narrative 😭 tywin is only important in relation to his children and how much he failed all 3 of them. he's not even an effective war strategist. he lost every battle he manned to a 15 year old boy and had to violate the guest right oath and make that boy a martyr to win the war. there's a reason tywin's children are destroying his legacy whilst the stark's and the north preserves ned's
Tywin seems pretty confident that Robb Stark won’t live to return to Winterfell. He must already be communicating with them Frey’s to arrange the Red Wedding.
Even if the Red Wedding didn’t happen, Robb was fighting a losing battle. He did well fighting against Tywin’s army, but had to use ambushes, hit and run tactics, etc. With the Karstarks gone, Robb had maybe 8,000-10,000 men left. The Tyrells were 50,000-60,000 strong(I think) and Tywin had around 60,000 as well. With the Reach, the men and horses were way better supplied than Robb could hope to be. Not to mention the Ironborn still were invading the North and Robb would have to deal with them in the miraculous event he somehow beat Tywin and the Tyrells. The Frey’s are one thing, but the Boltons didn’t want to be wiped out on the losing side.
@@splintercell320 they didn't have that many... After all... they fight several battles. Lannister already lost quarter their number when Jaime was captured. Then, they suffer other defeats and while they had a victory over Stannis... Soldiers die even in victories. Robb had 10K the Lannister 30 about. The deciding factor was the Tyrells.
@@splintercell320 the Tyrells wage war very passively, and for a good reason. They know not to send their men "over the top" into the meat grinder for pretty much no good reason.
@@splintercell320 Robb messed up when they declared him king in the north and he agreed and declared himself that. It isolated al potential allies as he would be king of the north and the river lands and it will no longer be part of the 7 kingdoms. He should have just allied with Stannis or renly. Just say he allied with renly originally renly still dies and Stannis takes his army. Robb than aliens with Stannis and his 35 k + men.
@@splintercell320 yeah the thing with robb killing one of the karstarks was a mistake he should have waited till after the war and killed him then but i guess that wouldnt be honorable or something to a stark
The funny thing is: besides Kevan, even his whole family have problems liking Tywin. Most people just feared him and just a few admired him (Pycelle, Kevan, Tyrion to some extend). It goes to the point that no one on King's Landing atended to his funeral because the smallfolk still remembered the Lannister attack during the Rebellion. The moral of the history is that ruling bye fear ultimately achieves nothing but ephemeral peace. Meanwhile, Ned Stark ruled fair and wisely, and almost ALL of the northen houses are willing to risk everything to protect his children even after losing the war.

3:32 Cersei found some solace in her shared predicament with Tyrion, even if it meant a forced marriage. It's a powerful scene that highlights the complexities of their family dynamics.
@Horse Man single dad who had to literally rebuild his family's fortunes as a teen thanks to his actual POS dad, put down a rebellions from his own bannermen, fight a civil war against the mad king, and then balance all the politics to make sure that the kingdom was kept stable and the Baratheons & Starks didn't decide to gang up on the next biggest competitor, the Lannisters. Tywin wasn't a POS except maybe to Tyrion, thanks to resentment from losing his wife. Guy was a hard man shaped by harder times, and tried to ensure that his children would be able to continue once he was gone
Tyrion: “Missing some of Loras’s favorite bits, but I’m sure they’ll make do.” Me: 😂😂😂 Tywin: “Your jokes are not appreciated.” Me: Hey c’mon, that was pretty good!
One incredible thing I just noticed is that Tywin knows his children really well and changes his tone to make them accept what he's saying. for Tyrion, he uses logical concepts like sansa being a reward because Tyrion is also a rational person and would not disagree further. but the moment Cersei refuses he yells at her because he knows that fear is the best mechanism for controlling her
Brian Cox in Succession was a worthy successor. Can see Logan Roy and Tywin Lannister sitting in a room together having kinship on how they are disappointed in their kids.
Tywin is my favourit character in the show, but of cause the realm suffered much more because he was alive ^^ who started the conflict? who burned villagers and farms? who educated cersei? tywin is a perfect example for a stong, charismatic tyran.

One thing I always liked about show Tyrion, especially in this moment is that even tho the tables turn on Cersei, he doesn't get smug or rub it in her face, he actually looks like he feels pity for her.
This is how marriages are arranged, privately, you would not shame another house by publicly turning down a suitor.. like they did in House of the Dragon
The most interesting part of this scene is that we see Tywin loves Cersei no more than Tyrion. The one thing Cersei has more than Tyrion that she’s not a dwarf,and because of that she’s a more valuable asset for Tywin.
He did love Cersei, but he was really disappointed by her mistakes as a Queen Regent, especially for raising Joffrey as stupid and spoiled brat, which went against his ideal of a Lannister king. After Tommen becomes king, he begins to realize that he needs to keep his younger grandchildren away from Cersei or they would be ruined as well.
I wish there was an alternate universe where Tywin was the main character of this show and made it to the end lol. Charles Dance is so good at this. Him and Sean Bean by far were the best actors on the show.
But that's not enough. I am a girl and if I would be in Santa's place I wouldn't be happy enough to marry tyrion even after knowing all these things. Tyrion was right here that Sansa deserved better
The sad thing about this is that this scene proves that Tyrion would have been a great husband for Sansa. The guy had integrity and empathy, more than the rest of his family, and I honestly think that given time, she'd have learnt maybe not to love him, but to accept him as a good husband who wasn't directly responsible for what happened to her family.
She was still a prisoner used like a brood mare. From her own perspective her marriage to Tyrion meant she was stuck in King's Landing with only enemies around her. Nobody would be happy with such a marriage, and Tyrion knows it.
The thing about Tywin, is he's always talking about Family, and making a legacy. When he doesn't really care about family, or his children at all. He cares about his name, Lannister. He cares that Lannister is the most powerful name in westoros, he cares that the name Lannister, will carry on for 1000 more years. when his sons were captured, he raised an army to go free them, not because he cared about their wellbeing, only because they were named Lannister, and how dare someone spit in the name of Lannister.
You goddamn right. His children were pieces on a chess board he moved about for his advantages without a care for what they wanted or said. If people ask me how did Cersei become so narcissistic. I answer. "She got it from dear old dad."

@@tamiloxd7168 Tywin didn’t have a problem with sleeping with whores. After all, that’s what they’re there for. To be used and discarded (in his mind). What he had a problem with was Tyrion MARRYING or courting a whore. He’s a son of the Great House of Lannister. In their culture, it’s considered extremely beneath him and a supreme embarrassment to bring a lowborn sex worker into their house/family (esp when her children could end up inheriting Casterly Rock someday).
he raised them to do each other? it is his strategy to keep them under his wings and make them do whatever he wants: never allow them to feel confident enough to disobey you.
It's very subtle, but it's great character writing. Tyrion: "You want Sansa to marry me? How can you do that to Sansa?" Cersei: "You want me to marry Loras? How can you do that to me?" Tyrion is short of stature, but he's a genuinely good person. Bitter and hedonistic, yeah, but when the chips are down, he's very understanding of people, empathizes with them and wants to protect those important to him. The sweet irony is that if he was of regular size, he might be a better knight than Jaime, who has his heart in the right spot, but also isn't above being vain.
I remember watching This scene how much i hated cersei And tywin for continously putting down tyrion , and when Tywin turned to Cersei I found great enjoyment in watching her get hers.Cersei is the literal architect of her own misery.
To Twyin his children where means to a end. I felt bad for both of them here great acting but both of them acted like scared children in the face of their angry father
Great Scene. Great writing. Great acting. Their faces at 3:23 Tyrion just glaring and Cersai stare, man you can truly see the anger and frustration in their faces.
It's really sad to look back on how well-plotted and well-written the first four seasons were after having suffered through the slow-motion trainwreck of the last seasons. What might have been...
