With Game of Thrones Season 6 off to a good start — more conspiracy theories on Jon Snow than the JFK assassination — let’s rewind the tape to last season.
Specifically, I want to zero in on episode 8 of Season 5 when Tyrion makes his sales pitch to Daenerys to land her chief advisor role.
It’s a masterful performance.
No slides.
No props.
No teleprompter.
Just Tyrion standing alone on stage, armed with his smarts, guile and command of spoken language.
