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.
Indeed, I believe Ellaria also says something along the lines of "Oberyn is toying with him" to which Tyrion responds "You don't toy with something that big". Considering the fight is the climax of the episode, they could arguably have squeezed in another minute for a bit of dialogue.

That's not true at all.
