Don't feel bad. I just binge watched it this week. Highly recommend it.

Tywin Lannister, is probably my favourite character in both the books and TV show.

What about Stannis the MANnis ? (well except the BBQ accident in the North )
AverageJoeee
Yeah Great casting/acting and well written character in the books.
justahumanbeing
I agree. Have you ever seen the clip of him and Pycelles deleted scene? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMXJlUIQP94 Mad they cut it out.
CapitalizingOnTheAbsenseOfAReasonableUsernameCharacterLimit
probably because season one had him skinning a stag. gutting fish wouldn't be very original
justahumanbeing
The dialogue is just so good and reveals Pycells faking, I dont think what Dance is doing should even matter though
bigbrothersbinary
Yeah. I feel they often dumb things down and are pushing through to plot too quickly in the television show.
omnipotentmonkey
one of the best antagonists i've ever seen, and the acting from Charles Dance is just impeccable.
bigbrothersbinary
This frustrates me. The show did such a disservice by setting up the Starks as protagonists. In the books there are no protagonists.Just ppl
Kodaxmax
Im thinking sansa gonna go full darkside soon tho.. and then theres arya, who has already murdered ppl
FranklinComesAlive
No "good vs evil," but certainly the Starks start as protagonists. The first book is told almost exclusively through Stark points of view.
omnipotentmonkey
That's pretty much flat-out wrong, while the story is even handed, the Starks are clearly in a protagonist role from the outset.

by not having any
HypnoChanger
She certainly looks like she has some in that screen cap. Which is impressive given how loose and thick those clothes are. xD
RMaybeth
not to mention the mascara also
GuardsmanMiku
i doubt it, but theres a part of me that thinks he did figure out she was arya
RMaybeth
in the show, maybe.But he'd never seen her, although littlefinger had, but he never blew the whistle on her to Tywin to make her a hostage
bluejegus
He was suspicious of her for sure. I think he was just too caught up in the war to put pieces together though
cheeseguy3412
He knew she was a noble after this scene, due to her full use of "My Lord" rather than "m'laud" that commoners use. He probably knew she 1/2
Pegussu
I feel like if he had even the slightest suspicion, he'd have kept her under lock and key immediately.
drsatyr
If I remember correctly, he still though both stark daughters were in kingslanding
AverageJoeee
No chance. IT is not hinted in the show and if he knew there is 0% chance Tywin would let such a valuble character escape.
cheeseguy3412
was from a northern house, but only suspected she was a Stark, wouldnt have known for sure.She left abruptly too, no chance to act on it 2/2
Nibblitz
If he had even a hint she was a Stark he'd have immediately confined her. Not let her roam the castle. Starks are valuable
Kodaxmax
Yeh i mean he wedded his family to sansa at the first given oppurtunity
afsdpckapjadfkasef
He suspected that she was from a house of nobility, he knew she was lying, but not about where, she was proper, only what she really is
afsdpckapjadfkasef
It was all in that look, sure about the way he felt, but not enough to make a rational decision
MithridateEupator
He didn't realize his kids were fucking each other under his nose
Kodaxmax
or tyrions potential or how much of a monumental fuck up cersei and her sons were.
JohnnyGossamer
I think he kind of willfully refused to notice... in denial... surely he heard rumors.
AbyssinianRem
I thought he encouraged it?? Didn't he once talk about keeping the bloodline pure or something?
pengu228
the lack of love between the houses and her age makes me think the houses hadn't seen each other since the greyjoy rebellion at least

Expanded Universe? You don't happen to mean the Star Wars EU? Because they're the only ones I know marketed that way.
SickOfThisCessPool
He probably realized when he met Sansa and was too embarrassed to say anything
redbarron045
That's wishful thinking. Tywin is such an evil genius, there would be no way he would let her get away. Could have ended war with the north.
TheyHunger
You've also got to remember that while great houses are few, there are small-time knights with a single keep who are only a couple steps 1/2
TheyHunger
2/2 above peasants dotting the countryside. She might be a noble, yes, but there were likely plenty of little keeps broken with their
TheyHunger
3/2 occupants scattered all through the riverlands. He would have expected to meet characters noble in name only.
Maidensbane
No, it wasn't implied in the show. Baelish was the only one who showed suspicion when he visited Tywin at Harrenhal. 1/2
Maidensbane
Also, Arya never met Tywin Lannister in the books. She served as a cupbearer for Roose Bolton at Harrenhal tho
bigbrothersbinary
Which is funny, because roose would be more likely than tywin to figure it out.
Ferelar
Seriously, even with animosity with the Starks I'd expect a Northern Lord to figure it out. Especially a clever one.
XaiaX
She wasn't pretending to be a boy then, though, and was like, 9, and as a lord's daughter would probably be assumed to be more ... fragile.

To keep the viewers attention, but they can't develop any new characters and they screwed up the Dorne plot, which is amazing in the books
