Waking up the morning after the Mad Men premiere only to begin the countdown to Sunday's Game of Thrones return is one of those rare joys in life that doubles as a reminder that I need to get out more. Ever since I circled April 1st on my calendar for a reason not involving faking a brutal injury in front of a loved one I've been planning to devote today's Monday space to Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister. It just makes too much sense.
Not only is Dinklage a raging badass and superb motivational speaker, I'm almost certain Tyrion will go down as one of the most celebrated television characters of all time. Hell, he's almost there already, as demonstrated by the following collection. My only fear is that rabid Jets fan George R. R. Martin will kill him off as a result of the Tebow trade in order to teach us all we're not worthy of such wonderful things (what's that J. K. Rowling?). And no, this isn't the time to chime in, readers of books. It's the time to crank up the GOT countdown...

Joffrey getting slapped never gets old.
Dude. That reminds me. Was recently watching Batman Begins and had my mind blown when I realized that Joffrey was the poor kid who wanted his friends to believe he’d met Batman. Still processing.
It will NEVER get old.
@Maske
That happened to me two nights ago! Are we the same person!?!?
@Aloicious: Yes
Just when I thought the chance had past, you go and save the best for last.
Yeah number #33 looks like from the new season. So we get to look forward to more Joffrey bitch slappin’.
You think? I thought it was just another angle from an outtake. Joffrey does appear to be in different clothes. Consider me intrigued.
don’t remember if it actually happens in the second book but who knows maybe they threw it in from seeing all the slapping vids.
I do know Tyrion confronts Joffrey when he is beating on Sansa. not sure if slapping ensued. (crosses fingers)
It’s definitely a different scene. That’s obviously King’s Landing, not Winterfell.
Obviously.
Indubitably, old chum!
They’re coming back from the docs in KL

HANG IN THERE BABY!
#29: WohoHO!
