The point remains that Tyrion\'s actions are incredibly out of character, even in the book. Whereas the book explains the motivations for Tyrion\'s sudden idiocy, the show just... has him jeopardize his escape practically on a whim. It makes one of the most pragmatic people in the show look quite idiotic. His actions at court could be justified not only as him being in the heat of the moment of an unexpected betrayal, but confident that his trial by combat would go well by 1) believing Bronn would fight for him, and 2) not expecting the Mountain to be the crown\'s champion. He does get incredibly scared about dying when he realizes the Mountain is fighting. By the time of his escape, he\'s definitely had time to think a lot of things over, such as the rashness of his actions.

Anyway, no, Hodor, Tyrion doesn\\\'t have a reason to risk his escape and possibly his life to confront Tywin. So, Tywin\\\'s a dick. Big whoop. That\\\'s not new information to Tyrion, first of all. Second of all, Cersei has dedicated just as much effort to framing Tyrion for murder as Tywin has, so why does Tyrion leave to confront Tywin specifically. Why not Cersei instead? Heck, why not both, since he seems to have all the time in the world to just do rash things on a whim? Why does he just go after Tywin, specifically?
