'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Spoilers: Peter Dinklage Hints at Tyrion's 'Survival'
"Game of Thrones" fans are gearing up for a brand new episode entitled "Mockingbird" airing this Sunday.
With just four more episodes left in the fourth season of HBO's hit series, fans are already anxious about how the sprawling fantasy will close. "Mockingbird" will pick up with Tyrion's fate hanging in the balance following his demand for trial-by-combat. Offering clues on his character's future, Peter Dinklage recently discussed the concept of justice in King's Landing while speaking to the L.A. Times.
"I don't think anything's fair in King's Landing, is it," said Dinklage, who has won both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe for his role as Tyrion.
The actor went on to cite Tyrion's vicious sister, Cersei (Lena Headey), as well as his hateful father, Tywin (Charles Dance), who want him gone. However, Dinklage also pointed out his character's survival skills, hinting that "GOT" fans can look forward to a future with the beloved character in it.
"He's the fall guy in this situation, isn't he," Dinklage reasoned. "They just wanted to make it all easy and make me go away, but I think Tyrion is quite a survivor. Hopefully he will find a way. I hope so, because I like my job … It's great fun. Since I've joined 'Game of Thrones,' it's been such a pleasure."
Further leading "GOT" fans to assume Tyrion survives at the end of "Mockingbird," the third and youngest Lannister child appears confident about the impending trial-by-combat, despite his brother Jaime's doubt and rage.
"You threw your life away, you threw it away," Jaime scolds his jailed brother in the clip.
"Don't give up on me just yet," Tyrion answers.
Meanwhile, "GOT" airs on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. EST. The synopsis of "Mockingbird" is as follows: "Brienne follows a new lead on the road with Podrick; Tyrion finds a surprising ally; Jon's warnings about the Wall's weaknesses are ignored; Daenerys mulls giving Daario a longer leash."
Also among the remaining episodes of season four are "The Mountain and the Viper," "The Watchers on the Wall," and "The Children."
