Here's one of the showrunners talking about the beetles:

He opined that the writers did a "fantastic job" with the scene, but to me it was definitely a little too bewildering as to what the relevance was.

It could be to show brothership between Jamie and Tyrion but we have already been through that and at some point I thought they were talking about The Mountain. It did not shed some light into Tyrion's character either. I think writers just thought it was cool and added it.

Yeah, I really think this was an instance where something made a lot of sense and had a clear connection in the heads of the writers, but it actually just isn't as clear as they all thought it was. And perhaps worse, they spent nearly four whole minutes just on those beetles. Four minutes is a lot of time for a TV show. I can't help but think that there was a shorter and clearer way to convey what they wanted to convey.

I think it just shows that it drove Tyrion nuts because he couldn't figure out why his cousin was killing beetles. He was "simpleminded" and Tyrion pretty much thinks he's Kickyass and knows everything but couldn't figure out why his metal cousin was obsessed with such a thing. It drove him nuts no knowing and after his cousin died, it drove him even more nuts because he will never know and will take that wonder to the grave.

Judas priest, that was so bad.

My co-worker said he read something that the writers put the whole beetles story in it as a joke and a reference to Martin and the way he kills characters. It makes as much sense as anything.

One possible explanation:

Tyrion is the beetle
 
btw ho here would not mind taking on mountain :D.


finally a reaistic fight scene.
the smaller speedier man beating out a slow musled guy



ofcourse if not for the smallers guys arrogance. he would have won.



but seriously top me men like mountain are far from intimidating, all i keep wondering when i see them is how do they wipe their ***. and picture it and laugh like a lil girl

gotta admit thats impressive. if only he could take on 6 more pounds (ak 0.006036% more weight)
 
Well, there is a saying for the traditional Turkish wrestle.

"Do not feel happy getting on top, do not feel sorry falling under."

Arrogance pays off for everyone, sooner or later.
 
That didn't feel like 100 vs 100,000. I know in books you could get away with listing any number you want but in the show they shoulda said like 350 vs 6,0000 or something like that, still impossible odds but plausible having the wall advantage. Ruined the episode always having that in the back of my mind.
