People are usually confused when I say that I like Stannis. They talk about how he burned his daughter and how at some points he wasn't the best human being in the world, but when I say I like Stannis it's not necicarily because I always agree with him or his motives, it's because his character is actually interesting. The same thing could be said for Tywin, Roose or even Walder, they may not be the nicest characters but at least they offer something other than "Young attractive badass does something really cool and morally right"

Yup. Nothing else to say.


Stuff Jon Snow. Give me a Tywin Lannister, a Stannis Baratheon, A Viserys Targaryen, Sandor Clegane, any day.

Brienne the beauty is awesome. Hands down. If Visery's lived instead of Dany, I'm pretty sure that's going to be the downfall of the Targs. unless they add the another Targ base from the book. He's like Joffrey but without the throne.


AND YEEEES... Stannis was the true king. Stupid fire lady.

Viserys would've been such an interesting character to read up on if he just. . . Survived a bit longer. If he escaped or was banished, instead of murderers. Imagine him coming back later in the story, or returning to Illiyro only to find out he's now on the chopping block? He wasn't mad by choice, IIRC. His descent into madness was spurred by the death of his family, the exile from his kingdom, and doing everything in his power to keep himself and Dany - even sellling his mothers jewels - to stay alive. 
 
Honestly,


I adore Game Of Thrones. It is, without a doubt, one of the best television shows of our generation. It has amazing acting, beautiful costumes and set designs, a soundtrack that is to die for, and it is currently the most awarded show in the history of ever. Game Of Thrones is great. It will always hold a place in my heart. However, is it without flaw? Of course not. The dialogue and writing has been very shabby as of late and that saddens me greatly.


But even still- I love the show. It is a masterpiece in the world of television. Not in every sense of the word, but, a masterpiece still.

I can see where you guys are coming from. I myself love those four as characters. Especially Stannis and Tywin. But I love Jon Snow as well. And Tyrion. And Davos. And Catelyn. I love the supposed 'good guys' just as much. Because they are great characters. Some more-so in the books than the show, and vice versa. But I still love 'em.


Daenerys in the show is alright. I can tolerate her. I much prefer her in the books, but even then she isn't like great.
 
Stannis is the true king.  Tywin and Tyrion are the true rulers of the West and the Hand.  Walder is the rightful power in the Riverlands.


But the best character of the lore is still

He even sold his sister for power. Bold move. and true enough. Viserys can be an interesting character if he just kept his mouth shut.  But then it is their fatal flaw. Madness. And that is the tricky thing about being a ruler, and he failed. He'll be just the Mad King the second if he made it to King's Landing with some great army. People called him the Beggar King and I don't doubt that he will show some power just to prove that he is no Beggar King anymore.
 
I do like Dany in the books but you can always see that in certain opportunities she's not very wise but that's OK as she's a young girl as much as a conquer and warrior but I adored Tywin as a character. Calm, collected, and powerful in every movement. In the show I really enjoyed the Arya and Tywin scenes as they were so interesting to watch the interaction between them and how he came to respect her even without knowing who she really was and despite she say him in the principal reason much of her family died I think she started to respect and like him to. I almost regret they didn't play more into it in the show, it was so interesting to watch Arya who hated Tywin get to know the man himself and perhaps even finding she couldn't hate him while he stood feet away from what he was looking for not knowing who she was but he respected her as well for her cleverness and keen eye. It was a very interesting paring I didn't expect and almost wished happened in the books as well just to see how George would have done it

My favorite character has always been Jamie. Despite all the hatred heaped against him, and a few moral issues he has, he still acts honorably. He fights for what he believes in.

I love Jaime.


My top three in both mediums are,


1. Jaime Lannister


2. Catelyn Stark


3. Davos Seaworth


I love 'em.

FUCK YOUR HONOR. THIS IS WHY SCOTLAND (I PRESUME) LOST A LOT OF WARS AGAINST THE ENGLISH.


DAMN BRAVEHEARTS AND THEIR HONOR. FUCK IT ALL.

Jaime is great. Easily one of George's best characters out there. He's not one of my favorites, but right up there with'em.

I would argue that Scotland lost a lot of wars to the English because of a smaller army and less money.

Let's be real here guys.  I can give you a bunch of sophisticated, literature related and character development reasons why I like certain people in the show/the series, but there was ever only one reason why I (would) follow it from season to season

And she's gone now  D':

Show Marge >>>>> Book Marge


Not just because she is played by the lovely Natalie Dormer. But because she is vastly expanded on and is a genuinely great character.
 
Got to give some credit to Robb Stark,


He knows how to pick 'em.


Talisa is incredibly underrated when it comes to the best looking women of Game Of Thrones. Plus her grandfather was Charlie Chaplan. So you just know she is funny af.
