I'm jumping on the Tywin/Tyrion train

This idea just popped in my head, it could be crazy, but I feel like there's something to it. Tyrion is DEFINITELY a blindspot for Tywin and he (Tywin) clearly blames him for her death. Do we know who the mother was? I may have forgotten, but is it possible Tywin's wife was the center of a scheme Tywin had concocted to secure the throne for himself? Her untimely demise threw that scheme out the window so now Tywin lost his shot and has to be content with his Plan B which puts a Lannister on the throne, but not HIM. Maybe THAT'S why he resents Tyrion so much. I find it a stretch to think he was just so in love with her that her death made him super sad. But again, if she wasn't connected to the throne this idea kinda goes out the window.

I mean, the show IS called the Game of Thrones for a reason.

yes but i think it was stated that money may be more important than the throne itself. that money is power in GOT. i dunno maybe not. i think if you have money that's the most important thing but a direct line or good relationship with the crown ain't exactly gonna hurt.

Along with the castle go all the lands (and possibly a title) . In the fuedal system the lands are a means to wealth and power. The castel can be re-built.

good point
