We never saw Papa Lannister kill anyone himself, but his fingerprints were behind every dastardly deed from sending his pet, The Mountain, to kill the child Targaryens and brutalize the Riverlands, to party planning the Red Wedding. But maybe it was the acting prowess of Charles Dance, or GoT’s decision to have Tywin bond with Arya Stark (not knowing she was Arya) in Harrenhal, or the fact that he stopped Gregor Clegane and The Tickler’s torture, or that he could actually see Tyrion’s intelligence and potential — something about Tywin made us respect The Great Lion of the Rock even when we should’ve hated him more.
