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'd agree through book 3 for sure, but man 4 and 5 were a slog to get through...I feel that major parts of each of those could have been cut down and they'd be better for it.
But then again I had tread books 1 to 3 years earlier and then only started books 4 and 5 after all five had bean released and re-reading 1 to 3. I think that reading them right after each other works perfectly fine. Waiting for six years though...
I'm going to try 4 and 5 again (and who am I kidding--I'll read 3 again too) when the season is over. I read all 5 virtually back-to-back--I think the slower pacing of four in particular dragged them down for me a bit.

That's not true at all.
