Tyrion's a Mary Sue, I don't particularly like him myself.

considering the level of sophistication the kingdoms would have, analogous to the low middle ages. I guess only noblemen pay taxes but there's no central bank. Tywin knew but not Cersei and she's the queen, she's supposed to know. Keeping a small number of people on the dark is easier than the whole population and…

yes.

Varys is looking out for the kingdom, also there isn't any expectation of privacy for whatever information he had on Tyrion. It's apples and oranges.

yes, he was brash because he could, but there was no expectation that any of that would or could change in the short term. Joffrey's death comes out of the blue and that was the one place (his family and their lackeys) where he had fostered enemies. Even then there was no expectation that he would be charged, it's…

relativism? ok.

but how is any of that related to the fact that she's a woman? there hasn't been a single satisfactory answer to this.

that was closer to his original description

the ones he used on everyone not named Shae were not lies. Shae fabricated her whole account. None of her accounts apply to him and are meaningless for everyone in the court save for Tyrion, the audience and Shae herself. There was no poor communication or setup. There's no point in stressing that Shae called him "my…

maybe she offered her testimony proactively and that's why she never left the city, that would make even more sense. She would need to contact Tywin to do that.

1) she's not being diminished, she had her part on the trial as any citizen/peasant/villain/serf would have. You're too invested in declaring women are worth less.

deathwish maybe?

the episode makes it clear it was way more than that. Including the all but certain possibility that she could have volunteered the whole testimony beforehand to Tywin

No, you're upset because people don't give the character the benefit of the doubt despite being a woman.

1) you're making an assumption
2) the cruel things she's saying are all meant to find him guilty of a crime that requires him to die to fulfill the penalty. The detail added to them make absolutely clear she wouldn't take any other decision, even if we assume she was coerced. Her actions culminate on his death through…

there aren't any POV characters in the show

pay triple the price for a child slave

Stannis's face when Davos motions to him at the end of his speech was fucking priceless, he looks so frail and innocuous, I almost thought for a moment he WOULDN'T get the loan

muh soggy knee, how dare you!

it's not a normal break up, he can't be seen with her, but I would consider the relationship to be over at that point.
