The official character posters for Season 4 of Game of Thrones are out, and while most of them are fairly standard (Joffrey looks like a weasel, Tyrion looks like he might be up to something, etc.), one thing jumped out right away when I scrolled through them all: Tywin Lannister looks as mean as a Hefty bag filled with hornets in his. I suppose that’s not exactly a shocker, seeing as he has been pretty much nothing but ruthless and ornery to this point in the series, but still, even with all that knowledge, that poster is something. I mean, look at it. Really, really look at it, especially the way his lips are pursed tight and his eyes are glancing up at someone or something as if to say “You aren’t even worth the tiny amount of physical exertion it would take to angle my head 20 degrees to the left.” That’s a mean dude right there. I bet he has a huge pile of Frisbees in his castle that he refused to give back after neighbor kids accidentally threw them over the wall.
Anyway, the rest of the posters are below, and EW also has a brief teaser clip of Tyrion over at their website. We’re only about six weeks out from the April 6 premiere. Not that I’m counting.

He doesn’t look so tough.
Game of Thrones is the most annoying show to hypothesize about. Yes, I’m listening to the audiobooks (fuck you if you think I’m reading all that shit) but I’m behind and the show’s much more awesome anyways. There’s always some asshole that’s read the books and says NO NO NO JOEFFREY AND TYRION ACTUALLY HAVE GAY SEX AND KILL TYWIN INSTEAD!!!!! Or something stupid like that. Or if they don’t spoil it directly they’ll give something away. I’m excited, but I can’t discuss my excitement on any public forum without some asswipe ruining it.
Hrm…the show is awesome. But I don’t know that I’d agree it’s more awesome than the books.
Well Omar now that you’ve ruined Book 5 by revealing that Joffrey and Tyrion have gay sex and then kill Tywin I guess your work is done here.
@Horatio Cornblower In Book Six Danerys and The Hound get married and have little hounds that ride dragons, then Jon Snow fucks the Goddess of light to bring back Zombie Ned. Little does he know, Zombie Ned actually outlives them all and then joins MI6 and reaches 00 rank under the alias “Alec.” I guess that covers book 7 too.
That’s clearly bullshit Omar, because we all know none of us are going to see Book 6 until 2018.
Unless you’re really George RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Martin, in which case quit posting here and get back to your writing bench!!
Do not cross Tywin unless you plan to bolt the hell out of there.
I see what you did there.
I knew I’d be shit out of luck coming here to post something similar. Guess I really choked on that one.
What are we doing again?
@horatio cornblower Don’t get all blue in the face, I’m sure you’ll get a chance next time.
Aw, you dirty whores.
I approve
Just so everyone gets in on the joke Tyrion blah blah something something something else blah blah Tywin dwarfism shitting gold blah blah something other than something else Danaerys does nothing for FOURFUCKINGSEASONS blah blech blah Winter is coming but your mom isn’t bleah blah something something something seriously what’s with the Starks? blech blargh blurgh butenoughaboutSameating blah blah Stannis has a cool sword blah blah WRITE THE 6TH BOOK ALREADY GODDAMMIT!!!!
where do whores go?
It took me FAR TOO LONG to figure out what the hell that 4.6 was about. This being season 4 and all didn’t help any.
Yeah it was wear your bad idea jeans to work day.
Damn it feels good to be a Lannister.
Jaime Lannister looks ridiculously chiselled there.
Tywin looks constipated. Maybe he really does shit gold.
He might look mean now, but he’ll be smiling soon enough.
Charles Dance is the best at playing pompous & condescending.
I also read somewhere that Cersei catches some bad karma this season. GoT bibliophiles probably already know this.
Oh yeah, too say the least. You don’t want to miss it WhatWill? I read all of the books after I saw the first few episodes of the show. If it plays out in the show like it’s written in the book, we will get to see everything we’ve been wanting to see about Cersei.
