“What veil” in response to “as to your veiled threats” is so fucking baller. Wish there was more of her and Margery in the show. Their conversations were excellent
Also about not listening to her hand, since Tyrion got countless armies needlessly killed off by his stupid plans instead of going straight for kings landing...
Risingofthephoenixx x well, they both killed Joffrey. And you must admitt, Littlefingers plotline was more interessting than Brans. And he wasnt as cruel as Dany in S8. Olennas Wisedom and Littlefingers Manipulation and Human reading would have been a great mix for the Ruler
I love how Cersei tries to use Tywin’s tactic of writing while someone tries to speak with them to assert dominance but what I love even more is how Olenna sees right through that bullshit “put the pen down dear, we both know you aren’t writing anything”
Her grandchildren dead. Her son dead. Her home and money taken. She was at the mercy of her enemy and yet she still delivered one last blow right into their face Godspeed Lady Olena, you are one hell of a fighter
Not all her family is gone. She still has 2 daughters and at least 3 Redwyn grandchildren. The show also showed another granddaughter in the earlier series. However, they ain't specifically mentioned in the show but likely exist.

I like to believe that Olenna did it at that time as poetic justice. I think she killed him early because she was scared for her granddaughter, obviously. But I also believe that she did it to give Sansa some peace. And to basically give Sansa the pleasure of seeing Joffrey die at his wedding, knowing her brother died at one.

That line is really sad. The old lady has lost her family, her purpose of living in this world, and now all her possessions, land and everything is gone. The only payback she can seek is Cersei's imagined response when she knew the truth
@@dimiturzhelezov123 a 'veiled threat' is a threat hidden behind a 'veil' of pretty words or implied in some way: the queen of thorns was issuing threats without any pretence that she wasn't: hence there was no 'veil'. it's a nice way to undermine cersei's self-imagined intelligence: she might think she's seen through something but she's being told that what she's seen through is entirely transparent to anyone with an ounce of wit. high grade shade :)
s j s Yeah. I also just get the feeling that a veiled threat is generally less serious than a direct threat too. So besides telling Cersi that her notion of having wit for catching a “hidden” warning is completely wrong-she’s also telling Cersi that her threat was in fact very direct and therefore serious too. Like, uh, no Cersi you’re not clever and by the way I am not playing.
Funfact: the scene where Olenna throw the necklace away at 1:49 was unexpected cuz it was not on the script, the crew had a hard time finding it as it was borrowed and quite valuable LoL
One of my favourite dialogues was between the Queen of Thorns and the High Sparrow. After trying to outwit and outsmart each other over who should kneel to who, they just got honest and admitted they couldnt actually kneel because of bad knees/bad hips
As yes... the wailing of women, what he couldn't stand the most, he so nonchalanty stated... before he was backhanded by his uncle, and let out, wussy's whimper.
Notice Jamie wasn’t bothered at her calling Joffrey a c**t. He couldn’t deny or deflect it in any sense. Cersei would have been pissed and threatened her, but wouldn’t have been able to defend him because even she admitted before that he was horrible.
The priest :" i'm serving the Gods, the Gods demand justice " Lady Olenna:" how do they communicate their demands ? By raven or horse ? " The most savage answer !
I love the way she interacted with Sansa, poor girl needed all the friends she could find in Kings Landing 😭 She was using her to some end, but really didn't throw her under the bus, and even hinted that Sansa should come to Highgarden before she poisoned Joffrey
No lol, Tyrells wanted to use Sanse as a key to North. After Sansa is betrothed to Tyrion, they stopped helping her. Then they killed the king and framed the king and framed Sansa with Tyrion. Oh and the biggest thing? Starks lost the war because Tyrells sided with Lannister despite knowing that Joffrey is a bastard.
@@cheangizzzthis is why I liked their TV versions except for Loras. Margaery kept speaking with Sansa after the Tyrion marriage. In the books they outright ghosted her.
@@severussnape8040 While I agree that feminism was twisted to be some controlling, bitchy thing instead of the actual respect of equal rights, their appearance shouldn't really come into it unless they have a tattoo of a boyfriend's name or something
"So, their son will be your nephew after you're wed to Cersei, of course. And you will be the king's stepfather and brother-in-law. When you marry the king, Joffrey's mother will become his sister-in-law. And your son will be Loras'... nephew? Grandson? I'm not sure. But your brother will become your father-in-law, that much is beyond dispute."
Olenna was one of the best political schemers in all of Game of Thrones... ever. It's such a shame that the reason she and her entire family died is because the one thing she wasn't... was a monster. Olenna played the game masterfully, and was never shy about doing things most people would consider evil to protect her family. But there's evil... and then there's blowing up a church, killing hundreds in the blast and likely thousands due to exploding debris and the unstable, raging nature of wildfire. At least with her dying breath she attained some small measure of revenge on the family she hated so much. RIP to the Queen of Thorns.
@@Joekidd1961 I think blowing up the Sept is pretty surgical. The High Sparrow is dead, most of the Small Council that opposed her is dead, the fanatics are dead, and Margaery is dead. All her enemies in one place and destroyed them in one stroke.
It was mostly the advice of one of the most beloved and "intelligent" characters that doomed the Tyrells anyway. And yet fans will defend Tyrion to death. A failure of a hand got to decide who should sit the throne. What a joke.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 It's only "surgical" thanks to the writers being brain dead, but it actually really isn't... in any ways. Cersei not only killed her enemies, but also her allies: the people *actually ruling* King's Landing and keeping it afloat (it's not like Cersei is the one taking care of the money, food, shelters, taxes, etc.). To that, you add the fact that all the noble families in the Kingdom should be against her and wanting her head because she's killed family members, allies, and innocent citizens. And the nobles wouldn't be the only ones: the common citizens and soldiers would be against her as well for the same reasons. They'd start a revolt. You cannot kill the "High Priest" of the city, a lot of the religious servants, the House of the people's Gods, innocent citizens, the nobles on which your city depend (especially the Tyrells who were their *main* food providers), part of the city (which led to more deaths of innocent people and homes) and suffer no consequences. It's just plain stupid. It's thinking like a 5 years old.
I love the scene with Pod pouring too much wine, because of the subtlety at play. Tyrion drinks a lot, so Pod is used to pouring more wine than might be usual for most, which explains his confused look.
Diana Rigg just ate up the scenes nobody could touch her. Diana Rigg stole the entire series GOT. No SFX, VRX or CGI just sparkling talent. She proves story & character are everything.
She didn't throw shade, she catapulted an eclipse. Edit: came here after a year because I forgot my password. I'm glad my comment made many people laugh.
she was the wisest woman on the show, she knew daenarys couldn’t take the throne without a fight. there was never going to be a peaceful way of doing it, not with Cersei still breathing.
Olenna's character is what modern TV shows need nowadays. Know the situation, be assertive, and take control, and also be snappy if someone goes against her lol. RIP Diana Rigg, no one else could have played that role as well as her.
@@j.elizabeth4621 I read the books YEARS ago. I barely remember the sands i payed more attention to Euron Greyjoy who i too was SO disappointed with in the series. But your telling me in the books the sands weren't a bunch of stuck up cocky murderous bitches?
Today is September 10th, 2020. Dame Diana Riggs has died and I am sad. She was truly the Queen of Shade and Sass. No one could give a burn better than Olenna Tyrell and no one could take on the role and deliver the lines better than Diana Rigg. Rest In Peace. And don’t worry. Jaime told Cersei it was you.
"Ned Stark had many admirer's, how many of them stepped forward when the Executioner came for his head?" Wow. That overlooked and brilliant statement says a lot about how Game of Thrones and in general, power works. You have allies, power, respect and people telling you how much they love and respect you right up until they're put in a position to have to show it in hard times. It didn't matter if everyone in that world loved Ned and respected him, none of it mattered in the end. His honesty and integrity were the death of him. Had he been willing to drop the issue and moved forward he could've planned and tried to figure a better way to deal with it but he thought the honest and honorable way mattered to everyone. One of the characters that seemed very intelligent but in reality wasn't smart enough to realize that honest and honorable meant nothing in the Game of Thrones. Power, manipulation, treachery and all the things Ned Stark neglected and shunned were the real cogs that kept that world moving.
Even though I only recently read the books and knew ahead (pun intended) of time what would happen instantly recognized Ned as being far too good for that world to live in it long. An honorable man surrounded by dishonorable men and connivers can only last so long. Once Robert died he had to get out of King’s Landing immediately or it was just a matter of time.
@@joshuaridgway3230 He should have left when Renly suggested they leave! The Queen even said he should go home, the south didn't agree with him, one last chance to drop this & all that. Was interesting to find out Littlefinger was the one that set the Starks in motion to even going to King's Landing.
Having read the first book, Ned had a number of opportunities to win by acknowledging and working through the various plots. He knew the South was a nest of intrigue, and treated all with disdain. However, had he been less inclined to despise the Southerners, he might have found greater assistance in Varys, the Baratheons, and the Tyrells for his plans. He should have also quietly replaced the gold cloaks with his own partisans, then he would have been safe. Again, this would have put him as relying on the Baratheons and Tyrells, but they were infinitely better partners than trying to confront the Lannisters with no support aside from Petyr Baelish.
@@jayt9608 Honestly aside from the Baratheon's themselves I don't see how any of the others would rock the boat. The Tyrell's had it good in the first couple seasons with Cersei/Tywin calling the shots. Varys, Baelish and people like them probably don't do as well with real leadership that doesn't sympathize with the sneaky backdoor games they play. Ned despised that kind of stuff. I don't see them going along with anything Ned was planning.
Lady Olenna is the reason I started watching Game of Thrones, to be perfectly honest. "May I sit?" followed by a very blunt "No." had me cackling, and it had only been an image on tumblr. Wonderful character.
There's a fanfic where she tells Tywin they should have gotten married "Of course, one of us would have killed the other within a year - but it would have been a year to remember." Exit, leaving Tywin looking thoughtful.
I love how even in the end, when she had to drink the poison, she still gave a subtle F-you to the Lannister’s by telling Jaimie that she killed Joffrey. Olenna was a great character. And I don’t think I could honestly see anyone else play her so perfectly as Dame Diana Rigg did.
RIP Dame Diana Rigg 1938-2020 "The Queen of Thorns is a remarkable woman". It's true, she was. She's one of my favorite characters - if not my most favorite. I miss her already.
That's what I said. People took as an omission because of the obession of the LGBTQ community. He knew he could not flood high garden or the Mountain kill her. I could see Tywin be the person that throws someone off the cliffs of Castley Rock for even being suspected of that. Not right at all but Tywin would be a progressive person, just he denial or Jame and Cersi proves it.
Me: I'm going out tonight but I'm only having one drink. *Three hours later, stumbling up to everyone in the club* Tell Cersei, I want her to know it was me
Olenna Tyrell was an awesome addition to the show. Shutting down Baelish and Varis was an amazing sight to behold and seeing the look on Jamie's face will forever be priceless. Rest in power, Diana Rigg. You were an amazing actress as Mrs. Emma Peel and even a better, outstanding performer on GoT.
Olenna: "You ought to try enjoying something before you die. You might find it suits you." Tywin: "Like what? Sleeping with my son's love interest before he shoots me with a crossbow?"
Hold on a minute... Olenna killed Joffre. Olenna killed Tywin by insisting he live a little... Olenna killed Jaime by pointing out that he can't really share a life with anyone but Cersei because the only people he can really talk to are Cersei and the dead. Brienne will be killed by his sister if he continues... Damn...
Actually I didn't find that very believable about his character, that just isn't the sort of thing he would do. He'd kill her in some horrible way yes, but not fuck her. That story line works better and would make tyrion want vengeance just as much and make more sense character wise
HAhhahahahahaha! That is a laugh. D&D would have dumb her down a lot like they did with the other characters. Of course season 7 was not that great. They already did dumb down a lot of the characters in it anyways.
She’d just be fanservice, which is exactly what destroyed the writing when D&D took over in the first place. I like her death, she went out with a fucking bang.

That scene was probably my most favourite and seems more hilarious knowing the backstory 😂
Dany: I burn people.
Olenna: Hold my lemoncake...
Hold my figs*
Hahahahahahaha bloody brilliant comement!
Olenna didn't need a dragon though
Everyone: beating this joke to death:

Queen Of Thorns
Thrower Of Shade
Killer Of Joffrey

RIP Diana Rigg, September 10, 2020. :(
Olenna and Littlefinger killed Joffrey.Olenna puts the poison in vine.Littelfinger hired dwarfs to interfere Joffrey.These two are geniuses.
Titles, titles...
One of my favourite dialogues was between the Queen of Thorns and the High Sparrow. After trying to outwit and outsmart each other over who should kneel to who, they just got honest and admitted they couldnt actually kneel because of bad knees/bad hips
Anarchists through and through.
😂😂😂😂
Aerys: I burned people alive
Cersei: Hold my drink
Dany: Hold my dracarys
Olenna: Do shut up dears, hold my wine
Olenna: hold my figs
@Matty Slice must tiresome huh? Buddy
It should be: Do shut up dears and let the grown woman talk, oh and hand me that cheese please.
Aerys, Cersei and Dany be like :Yes mother!
And serve the cheese.
Tywin: Do you deny them?
Olenna: Oh not at all, a sword swallower through and through xD
😂😂🤣
😂
'"Let the grown women speak"
LOVE HER.
You could hear the disappointment in Jaime’s voice as he says “ widows wail”. He knew Joffrey was horrible.
I'm afraid horrible doesn't even come close
As yes... the wailing of women, what he couldn't stand the most, he so nonchalanty stated... before he was backhanded by his uncle, and let out, wussy's whimper.
@@1uplink169 - That was hilarious, but funnier still was when he told Tyrion "I'm telling mother."
@@1uplink169 I think the "Widow" in question is meant to be Catelyn Stark, and her wail was her reaction to Robb's death.
Notice Jamie wasn’t bothered at her calling Joffrey a c**t. He couldn’t deny or deflect it in any sense. Cersei would have been pissed and threatened her, but wouldn’t have been able to defend him because even she admitted before that he was horrible.
The priest :" i'm serving the Gods, the Gods demand justice "
Lady Olenna:" how do they communicate their demands ? By raven or horse ? "

She was an Atheist lol 😂

Forgotten line:
"You've lost, Cersei. That is the only joy I can find in all this misery."
I love the way she interacted with Sansa, poor girl needed all the friends she could find in Kings Landing 😭
She was using her to some end, but really didn't throw her under the bus, and even hinted that Sansa should come to Highgarden before she poisoned Joffrey
She did not betray her at all
She just take revenge for her to kill joffrey
Olenna saved Sansa as much as she saved Margaery. If not more
She wanted her married to her eldest grandson, he was like 30 but still a good dude and not horrible looking if the books are to be believed
No lol, Tyrells wanted to use Sanse as a key to North. After Sansa is betrothed to Tyrion, they stopped helping her. Then they killed the king and framed the king and framed Sansa with Tyrion. Oh and the biggest thing? Starks lost the war because Tyrells sided with Lannister despite knowing that Joffrey is a bastard.
@@cheangizzzthis is why I liked their TV versions except for Loras. Margaery kept speaking with Sansa after the Tyrion marriage. In the books they outright ghosted her.
"look like an angry little boy don't presume what I want"
always been my favorite olena scene
arsen 1618 that was pretty hilarious!
@@severussnape8040 While I agree that feminism was twisted to be some controlling, bitchy thing instead of the actual respect of equal rights, their appearance shouldn't really come into it unless they have a tattoo of a boyfriend's name or something
"So, their son will be your nephew after you're wed to Cersei, of course. And you will be the king's stepfather and brother-in-law.
When you marry the king, Joffrey's mother will become his sister-in-law. And your son will be Loras'... nephew? Grandson? I'm not sure. But your brother will become your father-in-law, that much is beyond dispute."
Oh my god... lmmmmaaoo
I am putting this line in my will so they can make ppl laugh about it at my funeral.

So this where the idea for Uncle-Grandpa came from.
TL;DR "This convoluted mess ain't gonna work."
"Your grandfather gave me a necklace just like this one, on my 51st nameday."
*proceeds to fling it off the balcony*
Diana Rigg actually tossed a real necklace off the balcony. Took the crew a while grubbing around in the bushes to find it.
The fact she looks at her granddaughter smiling as she does so and doesn't even look at where it's gone makes that scene SO good to watch!
That necklace would've been worth a ton of money but the family is rich so they ain't bothered. 😂
Olenna: YEET.

Olenna Tyrell. One of the few people who has ever said “checkmate” at the moment of their death, and been right.
True🎉even at the face of death,she won against Cersei✌️
She loved her grandkids so much, teaching them to stand up for themselves and not letting any harm come to them ❤
“She’s an interesting girl”
“Is she?”
“No, not particularly”

Well she's not wrong
AdamG1983 Yep, very true

She would continue to not be an interesting girl forevermore.
the worst mistake this show ever made was never putting arya and olenna in the same room. she wouldve loved arya.
or The Hound, imagine those two together.
Or Lyanna. Damn that little girl and this old woman would roast people better than Danys dragons
Tywin was pretty good
Olenna, Tywin, Arya, the Hound and Lynanna. I want to be part of that gang!
Olenna and Tywin, 2020
She was proof you didn’t need to be some big and burly warrior to be a badass
Olenna was one of the best political schemers in all of Game of Thrones... ever. It's such a shame that the reason she and her entire family died is because the one thing she wasn't... was a monster. Olenna played the game masterfully, and was never shy about doing things most people would consider evil to protect her family. But there's evil... and then there's blowing up a church, killing hundreds in the blast and likely thousands due to exploding debris and the unstable, raging nature of wildfire. At least with her dying breath she attained some small measure of revenge on the family she hated so much. RIP to the Queen of Thorns.
Preach!
She was surgical. Cersei just killed everyone.
@@Joekidd1961 I think blowing up the Sept is pretty surgical. The High Sparrow is dead, most of the Small Council that opposed her is dead, the fanatics are dead, and Margaery is dead. All her enemies in one place and destroyed them in one stroke.
It was mostly the advice of one of the most beloved and "intelligent" characters that doomed the Tyrells anyway. And yet fans will defend Tyrion to death. A failure of a hand got to decide who should sit the throne. What a joke.
@@alexanderchristopher6237
It's only "surgical" thanks to the writers being brain dead, but it actually really isn't... in any ways.
Cersei not only killed her enemies, but also her allies: the people *actually ruling* King's Landing and keeping it afloat (it's not like Cersei is the one taking care of the money, food, shelters, taxes, etc.).
To that, you add the fact that all the noble families in the Kingdom should be against her and wanting her head because she's killed family members, allies, and innocent citizens.
And the nobles wouldn't be the only ones: the common citizens and soldiers would be against her as well for the same reasons. They'd start a revolt.
You cannot kill the "High Priest" of the city, a lot of the religious servants, the House of the people's Gods, innocent citizens, the nobles on which your city depend (especially the Tyrells who were their *main* food providers), part of the city (which led to more deaths of innocent people and homes) and suffer no consequences. It's just plain stupid. It's thinking like a 5 years old.
I love the scene with Pod pouring too much wine, because of the subtlety at play. Tyrion drinks a lot, so Pod is used to pouring more wine than might be usual for most, which explains his confused look.
I hadn't even considered that, but spot on. Too bad the last few seasons lacked the same subtlety and craft.
#23- When she asked Tywin if he had an experience with boys.

I think he protested too much.

Lady Olenna, and Tywin Lannister’s presence on screen was magical. It was cinematic gold having both of them in the same screen.
Diana Rigg just ate up the scenes nobody could touch her. Diana Rigg stole the entire series GOT. No SFX, VRX or CGI just sparkling talent. She proves story & character are everything.

no, she shut down the sun
The sun never shone on her enemies
she was the wisest woman on the show, she knew daenarys couldn’t take the throne without a fight. there was never going to be a peaceful way of doing it, not with Cersei still breathing.
Olenna's character is what modern TV shows need nowadays. Know the situation, be assertive, and take control, and also be snappy if someone goes against her lol. RIP Diana Rigg, no one else could have played that role as well as her.
8:50 In this scene, Olenna pretty much speaks for the audience. All of us wish the Sand Snakes would just shut up.
I hated them from the very beginning.
I liked Oberyin and his Brother but hated the sands.
Olenna represent our feeling to Sand Snakes and Dorne's storyline
God of Evil Have you had a chance to read the books? They are SO good in the books. I was so disappointed.
@@j.elizabeth4621 I read the books YEARS ago. I barely remember the sands i payed more attention to Euron Greyjoy who i too was SO disappointed with in the series.
But your telling me in the books the sands weren't a bunch of stuck up cocky murderous bitches?

Today is September 10th, 2020. Dame Diana Riggs has died and I am sad.
She was truly the Queen of Shade and Sass. No one could give a burn better than Olenna Tyrell and no one could take on the role and deliver the lines better than Diana Rigg.
Rest In Peace. And don’t worry. Jaime told Cersei it was you.

"You can smell the sht from five miles away" lol!!!! Olenna was a boss. Definitely my favorite character along with Tyrion.
That was a running joke. Shaye also said the city smelled like shit lol
Or maybe it was foreshadowing for the awful last season. :D
@@LaMiriabelle My guess, too
same!
"Ned Stark had many admirer's, how many of them stepped forward when the Executioner came for his head?" Wow. That overlooked and brilliant statement says a lot about how Game of Thrones and in general, power works. You have allies, power, respect and people telling you how much they love and respect you right up until they're put in a position to have to show it in hard times. It didn't matter if everyone in that world loved Ned and respected him, none of it mattered in the end. His honesty and integrity were the death of him. Had he been willing to drop the issue and moved forward he could've planned and tried to figure a better way to deal with it but he thought the honest and honorable way mattered to everyone. One of the characters that seemed very intelligent but in reality wasn't smart enough to realize that honest and honorable meant nothing in the Game of Thrones. Power, manipulation, treachery and all the things Ned Stark neglected and shunned were the real cogs that kept that world moving.
Even though I only recently read the books and knew ahead (pun intended) of time what would happen instantly recognized Ned as being far too good for that world to live in it long. An honorable man surrounded by dishonorable men and connivers can only last so long. Once Robert died he had to get out of King’s Landing immediately or it was just a matter of time.
@@joshuaridgway3230 He should have left when Renly suggested they leave! The Queen even said he should go home, the south didn't agree with him, one last chance to drop this & all that. Was interesting to find out Littlefinger was the one that set the Starks in motion to even going to King's Landing.
That's how the Starks kept their rule over the North for 8,000 years. Sadly, it's not the same south of the Neck.
Having read the first book, Ned had a number of opportunities to win by acknowledging and working through the various plots. He knew the South was a nest of intrigue, and treated all with disdain. However, had he been less inclined to despise the Southerners, he might have found greater assistance in Varys, the Baratheons, and the Tyrells for his plans. He should have also quietly replaced the gold cloaks with his own partisans, then he would have been safe. Again, this would have put him as relying on the Baratheons and Tyrells, but they were infinitely better partners than trying to confront the Lannisters with no support aside from Petyr Baelish.
@@jayt9608 Honestly aside from the Baratheon's themselves I don't see how any of the others would rock the boat. The Tyrell's had it good in the first couple seasons with Cersei/Tywin calling the shots. Varys, Baelish and people like them probably don't do as well with real leadership that doesn't sympathize with the sneaky backdoor games they play. Ned despised that kind of stuff. I don't see them going along with anything Ned was planning.
Rest In Peace Diana. Played the role of one of my favorite characters, not only of GOT, but any series out there. Truly a remarkable queen.
Learned it few days ago🥀🥀🥀🥀😭
Love you Diana
The only woman to marry James Bond
Lady Olenna is the reason I started watching Game of Thrones, to be perfectly honest. "May I sit?" followed by a very blunt "No." had me cackling, and it had only been an image on tumblr. Wonderful character.
Her and Tywin together would make the most well-ruled monarchy in history.
I always wished that those two would've gotten remarried to each other. Talk about a POWER COUPLE.
Legendary as characters and actors...
Thank god I am not the only one who thinks that
There's a fanfic where she tells Tywin they should have gotten married "Of course, one of us would have killed the other within a year - but it would have been a year to remember." Exit, leaving Tywin looking thoughtful.
Olenna Tyrell and Tyson Lannister - this pairing conjures images of Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter.
I love how even in the end, when she had to drink the poison, she still gave a subtle F-you to the Lannister’s by telling Jaimie that she killed Joffrey. Olenna was a great character. And I don’t think I could honestly see anyone else play her so perfectly as Dame Diana Rigg did.
How is 'i murdered your son' subtle lol?

#23 She's asking Tywin Lannister if he had any experience with men.
If it was anyone else he would have been killed on-site.
That's what I said. People took as an omission because of the obession of the LGBTQ community. He knew he could not flood high garden or the Mountain kill her. I could see Tywin be the person that throws someone off the cliffs of Castley Rock for even being suspected of that. Not right at all but Tywin would be a progressive person, just he denial or Jame and Cersi proves it.

Actually I didn't find that very believable about his character, that just isn't the sort of thing he would do. He'd kill her in some horrible way yes, but not fuck her. That story line works better and would make tyrion want vengeance just as much and make more sense character wise

One of the best characters, wise in so many ways and just as dangerous. Effectively she was and remains one the best heros on this show.
Olenna would of made season 8 tolerable to watch ...
Nah the writers of season 8 don't know how to write dialogue like hers.
HAhhahahahahaha! That is a laugh. D&D would have dumb her down a lot like they did with the other characters. Of course season 7 was not that great. They already did dumb down a lot of the characters in it anyways.
She’d just be fanservice, which is exactly what destroyed the writing when D&D took over in the first place. I like her death, she went out with a fucking bang.
Olenna in Season 8:
