Intro music is “The King has Arrived” by Arkngthand, a Game of Thrones tribute metal band.
It’s probably just an actor’s trick, but Dinklage does something in this one that’s stuck with me ever since. When Jon throws “Your Brother Killed the King!” at him, Tyrion stops for a second, and you can see about six different expressions go over his face, then he finally answers “Yes, my brother killed the king.” I have no idea what it means, but I love it.
