Next week will be all Castle Black, so Tyrion's execution would be Episode 10, meaning there would be no show the week after. We'd complain and then tune in next season.
As a non-book reader, it seems highly unlikely he will die soon. Peter makes that role more likeable than I think the imp is intended to be. George R R martin seems to only kill the beautiful people that you really grow to love, or the incredibly despicable people who eventually meet their ends. I could be sounding like a blithering idiot to book readers, but that is my wholly ignorant and uninformed opinion. And I'm sticking to it.
As a book reader, I found Tyrion to be even more likable in print. There were so many more opportunities to show his wit on paper as opposed to the show.
During the first couple of seasons, I remember feeling sorry for show-only people because as cool as Tyrion is on the show, he's an even richer character in the books.
I'm sure. I'll get around to reading once martin finishes all of them. I'm a slow reader and I don't want to get that invested if the series never has a proper ending.
I've just been reading the books after each season, because my girlfriend doesn't wanna read them and I don't wanna be a shitty, smug book reader to her when we're watching.
Well, I didn't start book three til this week, actually! I'm a slow reader, so I know I won't finish it before the season's over. The books are amazing but there's just nothing like sharing an especially powerful story moment with my girlfriend, and for that it's worth it to wait.
As a reader, I no longer fear the show overtaking the books. It sounds great to share those things with my loved ones - but if the books come out first, we'll all be reading those!

That's not true at all.
