When it comes to the Game of Thrones, many fans are used to seeing gory, blood-soaked death scenes, but on Sunday night's finale, Twyin Lannister's death might have been the most significant, if not humiliating one of the show.

Game Of Thrones: Kit Harrington Opens Up About Rumors That He's Leaving The Show

Game of Thrones director Alex Graves tells TV Guide in a new interview that the show's different twist on Tywin's death on their Father's Day finale was a rather unconventional move for the show, but one that fans will remember for seasons to come.

"Tywin's death is the anti-Game of Thrones death in that it's very simple," Graves said. "There's a guy sitting down and rather [than] it being how much blood or how much gore or how shocking it was, it's actually about how futile and humiliating it is that this pillar of strength and arrogance who had had an enormous purpose in the Way of the Five Kings is killed on the toilet, a death he would not be happy with."

Graves also says that the much-talked about scene between father and son was well executed, thanks to actors Charles Dance and Peter Dinklage's unforgettable performances, who both actors knew they would have to work on together for more than a year.

"It was an extremely small set, and it was built on the second floor of another set, so we had to have elevated platforms to get close-ups and stuff," he explains. "The entire thing was about Charles' and Peter's performances before the moment and really delivering a face-off that I've known about for over a year."

Graves also adds that Dance will be missed on the show and that he wanted his final scene to be his most memorable one from Game of Thrones finale as well.

"It was Charles Dance's final scene in the show. I've loved all of them, loved working with him. I really wanted it to be something to be proud of. And it was easy because Charles was incredibly, and Peter was too. It turned out incredibly well."
