The Best Scene That Never Made It Into Game of Thrones

Couldn't you consider the confirmation that Tywin knows about Pycelles charade a positive charge? Up until that point we're under the impression nobody is aware of Pycelles true nature, they all think him the decrepit fool. But this scene confirms that at least one person has caught on, one of the most powerful men in the kingdoms knows, he isn't as secret as he thinks.

This would’ve been a great scene to add to the show. It’s shown that Pycell is more… springy than he appears but they never take it anywhere

"is it possible that so many people could have been stupid for so long?" the way he glares down Pycelle, holy moly

Charles Dance simply commands any scenes he's in.

I had a feeling it would be this scene. I'm actually pretty sad it wasn't included because of previous scenes, but it makes sense all things considered.

"I could have you returned to the dirt this afternoon, if you like." ........when shit gets cold, I gets the chillz.

Tywin: Kills Fish Pycelle: Flowers get plucked. Pycelle is wise in the ways of house sigil metaphors.

Awesome breakdown of value charges! I do like the “canon” Pycelle’s reveal though. I like the mundanity of it, the everyday manner of “ah shit, here we go again, back to work.”

Oh this scene. I imagine this scene was removed because it fit too much within Varys’ and LF archetypes as this is both their exact strategies so it’d be a bit weird to have 3 people with the exact same strategy to be in the small council.

The timing of this is pretty wild. I literally just watched a clip of this scene for the first time like an hour ago 😂

Honestly any scene with Tywin is probably the best scene of that episode.

Very cool to see coverage of this scene, really love it and wish it was included in the show! Whenever I show someone Game of Thrones, I also show them this scene, because it really feels like it should have been included.

If there is one core strength of GOT it is their excellent use of visual metaphors. Even later seasons do it well. As bad as the dothraki charge was tactically, visually it was a spectacular moment as the inspiring flaming swords ignited 10 seconds ago were snuffed out one by one by the dark.

I love the scene, but I would have done it differently. In the books Twin and Pycelle have know each other for decades and they probably conspired when taking KL and at many other points in time. I would have shown how he was always Tywin's creature, which would have achieved the same surprising turn but story wise it would have bolstered both Tywin, who is now recontextualized as a someone who always had someone in Roberts council and works on many levels to gain power, but also shown that Tyrion had it right when he dismissed him. Even more it would have turned the dismissal into a (unknown) move against Tywin rather than Cercei, which foreshadows the eventually clash between Tywin and him

Honestly the Ros scene should’ve been the one to hit the cutting room floor. The deleted dynamic between two well-crafted book characters shouldn’t fall victim to David and Dan’s Original Character Do Not Steal. A damned shame.

I was about to say that Tyrion Sansa wight takedown scene was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen but then I remembered half of the actual scenes that made it into that episode made no logical sense

The scene where Tyrion wakes up after the battle of the Blackwater, Pycelle is looking down at him. When he talks to Tyrion, he does it in this same thing, standing tall, not stuttering and weak sounding. So the show already established there is more to Pycelle

I still say it's a shame this seen was deleted. While it may (arguably) not convey new information, it's a damn well done scene that displayed Pycel's character on a new level. Also, it's always great to see more Tywin.

Bad poosi is my favorite dialogue in the entire franchise.

Awesome scene but sad it was taken out. I remember seeing this years ago when it was brought up. Glad you’re talking about this.
