Deleted Scene: Tywin & Pycelle

Decent shout but my feeling is that it got cut because Tywin shows too much respect to Tyrion in the scene and that would have been OOC at the time the scene is set. The scene really adds to Pycelle's character for me plus you would then have had Tywin gut a stag, fish for trout & burn a direwolf. Severe facepalm D&D.

Cheers for moving this to it's own thread voice , 

No problem good ser. 


Mayhaps. I can't pretend to know much about House Lannister. I was only going by the phonology of the name. One thing that has always stood out to me though, that I delved into here, is that the Lions have always been quite defiant.



But back to this deleted scene... Lions are rather prideful, as well as excellent at identifying weakness. I think this scene demonstrates those traits in Pycelle rather explicitly. I think there is evidence in the books for them as well, although as always, it is more nuanced. The Tyrion-Pycelle dynamic is one of repeated one-upmanship.
