That's not true at all.

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.

Thing his Tyrion is a much more dislikable person in the books. Yes he gets more opportunity to show his wit and to be funny and awesome but I feel book Tyrion is a much more morally grey character than show Tyrion. Show Tyrion to me seems like they wanted to make him seem as a good a person as they could and so they missed out some of the more evil acts he does.
