List of Game of Thrones characters
Tyrion Lannister (season 1–present) portrayed by Peter Dinklage. Nicknamed "The Imp" or "Halfman", Tyrion Lannister of House Lannister is the younger brother of Cersei and Jaime Lannister. He is a dwarf; and his mother died during his birth, for which his father, Tywin Lannister, blames him. While not physically powerful, Tyrion has a cunning mind and often uses to his advantage the fact that others constantly underestimate him.
Eastwatch
"Eastwatch" was directed by Matt Shakman. This was Shakman's second episode as a director for "Game of Thrones", the first being the previous episode, "The Spoils of War". Prior to joining the series, Shakman also served as a television director for several other series, including "Fargo", "The Good Wife", "Mad Men" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", among others. In an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter" following the airing of "Eastwatch", Shakman spoke about the difference between shooting his two episodes for the season, saying "There isn't the same massive set piece, so it's really about establishing what's coming next for the season. It's a bit of a reset. There are some major character revelations and further development of relationships, especially the people who are reunited and are now seeing what's happening as they navigate their new relationships with the people they haven't seen in so long." At the beginning of the episode, Tyrion Lannister is shown walking through the aftermath of the "Loot Train Attack," which Shakman noted was intended to show Tyrion's internal conflict between serving Daenerys, and seeing his own family's dead soldiers. He also stated about the scene, "We created things for him to look at that were evoking Pompeii, the aftermath of the dragon fire and what it does to the humans all around him, as well as the destruction of the actual wagons. We walked Peter through that, and let him react to what he was seeing. The effect is pretty powerful."
