In Game of Thrones’ riveting sixth episode “The Laws of Gods and Men,” Tyrion Lannister is brought to trial at King’s Landing for the murder of King Joffrey. It is, predictably, a total farce.
His father Tywin, the Dick Cheney of the Seven Kingdoms, lords over the sham proceedings, calling on a cavalcade of witnesses to produce out-of-context testimony against his embattled son, including the knight that saw Tyrion slap the crap out of the lil’ bastard that one time; the elderly doctor Tyrion had sent away; and even the neutered Lord Varys, who’d praised the Imp’s courage at the Battle of the Blackwater, jumps over to Team Tywin.
