Game of Thrones’ Season 4 ended on an unpredictable note; a planned escape of Tyrion Lannister by his brother-Jaime Lannister led to Tyrion murdering their father-Tywin Lannister.
With Tywin, the strongest hold on King’s Landing dead, the capital will obviously be vulnerable when Season 5 returns next year. Meaning, there will surely be a political shake-up in Season 5.
Zap2it caught up with Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays Jaime Lannister) at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 and asked him what Jaime’s reaction to Tywin’s death will be in the next Season…
“Shock,” he replied. “Because that was not the plan. The plan was to help Tyrion escape.”
The Danish actor added that; “Also, on a political scale it’s a disaster because Tywin was so powerful”.
“[Jaime] understands that it is not good for the safety of Cersei and Tommen and the Lannisters.”
