I too am a big fan of the books and series. If it does stay true to the books it will surely be an epic Emmy winner in the future. I am soooo looking forward to the next season where Tyrion has a much more important role in the future episodes. He is the reason I started to watch this series and will be the continued reason that i will remain a faithful fan.I am on book #4 also. And cannot wait to complete the book of George R. R. Martin. A true master of fantasy and the world of Lords and Ladies and Kings.

Peter Dinklage has been the fan choice to play this part almost since the first book was published, but the reality does not always live up to the hype. In the case of Dinklage it did. His performance was a little spotty and some work on the accent might be a good idea, but overall Dinklage took the character and made it his own. Also a well-deserved acknowledgement of how Game of Thrones transcends what we normally think of fantasy. If the series continues and stays true to the books there could actually be a Drama Emmy in its future.

I have been reading the Song of Ice and Fire Books. I'm on book #4 - if the show stays on the air, he will have some amazing material to sink his teeth into and continue playing this incredible role of Tyrion Lannister!
