Thing is, they haven't referred to the whole Tysha thing very much in the show and the last time they did, it was what, season 2? This may not hit home for normal show watchers and it was particularly powerful reading the books, especially following on the heels of Shae's betrayal, with Tyrion having explicitly said that being with her was the first thing that made him feel okay about Tysha, that he could get past it. I really just feel like it'll fall flat. Of course, given that it's likely to happen in the same episode as Shae and Tywin meeting their end it'll be overshadowed anyway.
That said, if done well, "Only Cat" remains the moment of this season I'm looking forward most to given how I feel it'll play on-screen.
EDIT: I don't think killing her was emotionally justified in the books, particularly by strangulation, that's a pretty personal, brutal way to kill a person. That said, I'm glad; need to remind everyone that Tyrion, while more good than bad, is still not some shining light of virtue.
