This is crazy to me. One of the two witnesses is dead. The DNA doesn't
match. A good lawyer with or without the help of the sheriff will assert that it was a coerced confession.
Sure, you can prosecute on less, but in what world does a DA win this
case? The evidence cannot prove he killed her. All they know for sure…

This is crazy to me. One of the two witnesses is dead. The DNA doesn't match. The sheriff will likely reveal that it was a coerced confession. Sure, you can prosecute on less, but in what world does a DA win this case. The evidence can not prove he killed her. I don't know how the discussion about Daniel's fate…

Yeah, I agree with you. He didn't know he'd find her there, and if he didn't defend himself, she would have killed him. She didn't reach for that knife to keep him at bay; she attacked. Tyrion didn't look angry until more than half way through that scuffle. Basically, the book made me feel like Shae's death was truly…

…see I feel like book readers are projecting. If for some reason that was Hodor in the room instead of Shae, we'd never think he had that intent the whole time. If another character reaches for a knife while Tyrion is on the way to confront his father and Tyrion kills them, we wouldn't think "Oh, he wanted to do that…

I'm not saying it wasn't murder. I'm saying by having Shae immediately move to attack him, they made it much more palatable and less revenge-driven. If that was just say, Hodor…iffor some reason, Tyrion walked in on Hodor, and Hodor moved to strike him, and Tyrion choked Hodor to death, we wouldn't be using the "m"…

The book gave me the opportunity to flip-flop on Shae because my thinking at first was "how could you do this to tyrion?" then "a she's just another person not in a position of power doing what she's got to do to survive." But in the show, they just have her lash out at him in a way that didn't allow me to appreciate…

The show made Tyrion killing Shae look almost like self defense. Am I crazy? She totally reached for the knife to kill him first. I'm not saying…I'm just saying that it wasn't a very cold-blooded act. The way the reviewer interpreted it seemed different from what I actually saw.

I dunno if this saved my previous response - The problem is the writer assigning that "we are all killers" meaning to Tyrion's cousin. Tyrion was disturbed yes, but you don't have to infer that he's disturbed because he thinks he's seeing man's true nature. I think it makes more sense to be disturbed because he…

The writer is assigning that meaning. Tyrion was just troubled. I think a more appropriate analysis would be Tyrion identifying with the beetles and seeing fate or whatever as the mentally deficient (read as uncaring) force compelled to smash beetles wily-nily.

"Death is who we are" what kind of stupid emo bullshit is that. Come on, buddy. Loss of higher brain functions —-> killing of other smaller species = death is who we are. Is everybody buying this garbage? I think it has more to do with how we enjoy playing repetitive games over and over and how we (Tyrion in this…

AMERICAN DAD REFERENCE! I wonder how many cross over references you could make between this show and American Dad.

That makes so much more sense to me. He just overshot things.

Yeah someone responded to one of my other posts about it. For whatever reason, when I was watching the interaction I never thought they were intending to murder him. In almost every show I've watched, regardless of how bad the criminal is, whenever a criminal gets sassy, the most a guard attempts to do is maim them.…

Maybe it's because she was the first person to get that close to catching him then.

It was that obvious to you? I feel like he really overestimated their inclination towards murder. Usually when characters step out of line, even if they're super sassy, the most guards usually do is beat the tar out of them, maybe abuse them, but I feel like murder over sass is rare especially with such a high profile…

I've had to search too far down for an answer to this one. Why did Gideon provoke the guards in the first place? I didn't get the sense that was a regular ritual. It seemed like he intentionally decided to do it. I initially thought he was trying to get himself injured so he could discredit Chilton, but I had trouble…

I didn't understand Gideon's intent in provoking the guards. At first, I thought it was an attempt to further discredit Chilton, but then I didn't understand why he didn't think Hannibal would be a danger to him if whatever the guards did to him resulted in his hospitalization.

I'm not sophisticated or savvy enough to know what you're talking about, and I'm not going to google it even though I think CM is a musician. I was basically saying it in rhythm with an imaginary conga line. I think one annoys me most about her is her perceived invincibility. I guess that should annoy me about some of…

Maybe that, and he liked having an extra way to mess with Jack. With Beverly, I think that had more to do with stripping the hope from Will or maybe it's because she got so deep into his sanctum. Or maybe it's because without getting so much help from will she would have been unable to see it for herself.

He respected her. I don't know if that's great justification, but I also think if Hannibal had his way he would keep Will around as a pet too.
