Sansa for me. I hated her in the first season, but she's really come into her own as the series goes on. She's actually become a player in her own right. I also think she's undergone the most change.
Plus I totally ship her and Baelish.

Kind of goes without saying :shobon: a shame that the Tyrion, Bronn and Pod dream team split up.
Guess.

Something that makes them not kill little girls when convenient and easy. I like scary men who do not kill little girls.
Jaime and The Hound. Also a big fan of Tyrion, of course!
Ooh, Jaime! I didn't even think about him. He's a good one too.
I actually really kind of root for Cersei. Like she's a total massive bitch but I can see her motivations for it and she's just flawless.
There are a lot of characters I love in the show, I don't really have a favourite. Besides, it changes anyway because they get killed off or go mental at the drop of a hat.
Show Cersei blows Book Cersei out of the water because Lena Headey is a smurfing queen among women.
Yeah my love is definitely something to do with the fierceness that is Lena Headey and her ability to drink wine like a pro.
She is an actual Lioness.
Fierce is totally the best way to describe Lena Headey. Every female role ever she is a fierce and powerful female figure. Which is why she is perfect as Cersei.
-covers Arya's ears- I would bend the knee without a moment's hesitation.
Arya and Tyrion.
I thought Lena Headey was pretty intense in 300 too! That's also the only other place I've seen her...
Real Answer: Arya, Dany, Tyrion, Tywin.
And Sandor. And Baelish. And Varys. And Cersei. And Jaime.
Smurf it, add all of King's Landing in there.
I laughed when Tywin died. It was a glorious moment I had hoped for for a long time.
No way I love book Cersei! I really enjoyed when they switched to her as a POV in Feast for Crows because I just loved seeing how she thinks.Quote:

Yeah, book Cersei is amazing. It's always a pleasure to read her and Arya chapters.
So many characters. I've probably missed half of them.
Love: Ned, Varys, Bronn, Davos
Really like: Jon, Margaery, Tyrion, Sansa, The Hound, Olenna, Grenn, Eddison
Like: Mance, Selmy, Arya, Stannis, Oberyn, Jaqen, Grey Worm, Gendry, Robb, Brienne, Aemon, Shireen, Pod, Hodor, Jeor, Ros, Syrio, Tormund, Beric, Osha, Yara, Pyp, Hot Pie, Benjen
Meh: Dany, Myrcella, Daario, Roose, Robert, Jorah, Missandei, Gilly, Mace
Excellent villainy: Cersei, The Mountain, Joffrey, Ramsay, Tywin, Alliser (not quite a villain, but similar), Pycelle
Ugh: Tommen, Lancel, Renly, Loras, Rickon, Catelyn, Viserys, Shae, Walder, Janos, Olyvar, Talisa, Lysa, Robin, Balon, Selyse, Hizdahr, Styr, Orell
Varies: Baelish (meh/excellent villainy), Jaime (like/meh), Drogo (like/meh), Ygritte (like/meh), Melisandre (excellent villainy/ugh), Theon (meh/ugh/excellent villainy/like/oh god what next), Bran (like/meh/ugh), Samwell (like/meh)
I like Dany from the first time I saw her in S1E1.
She has always been my favorite.
Sanza is another favorite of mine.
In terms of characters and the portrayal of them by the actors, Cersei. She is the only character that has evoked both feelings of hatred and adoration for me. I don't know why but I find myself actually being totally pro-Cersei this season and feeling sorry for her. Maybe because of the whole "shut up you're a woman you know nothing" thing that's been happening.
Again I'm not all caught up and in the beginning of season 3. My favorites are Jon and Sam, Arya, Tyrion and Bronn and The former Kings guard who just joined Danni in the last episode I watched. I wasn't expecting him to be back but he seems like an honorable old man so I'm sure he'll die soon.
Yeah, I like Jon too. I like Arya for her resilience.
I only read the books.
Brienne
Tyrion
Arya
Sandor
House Targaryen. I'd say Dany but her character does not save her parts of teh books being the most boring parts of the books. I mean, holy trout. So I kinda just say i like Targaryens in general and Dany goes in there thanks to her bloodline and teh occasional bit of exposition about her bloodline that occurs in her chapters.
But Brienne is the best overall. She is a true knight.
The person I enjoy watching/reading the most is Arya, but not because of her character so much as the situations she gets placed in. Not to say her character isnt great but not as layered and insteresting as Tyrion or book Jaime.
Edit: But thinking about it now, to be fair she's only a child and if she were an adult who told us the backstory of that time she watched her fathers head get cut off and met up an assasin genie then she'd have more layers than anyone.
Also it's always nice to see Hodor on screen.
The Queen of Thorns!
I like Jaime and a lot of that has to do with his character going from total asshole to kind of over his sister's crap.
I like to watch her painfully awkward interviews. What a closet nerd.Quote:

Brienne is a very admirable character, but Granny Tyrell has ALL the sass.

I used to feel like that, too.Quote:

So, now I tend to find myself agreeing with Margery where Cersei is concerned.
Attachment 64492
Yeah I think that's part of the reason why I felt sorry for her because certain men on the show trout on her because she's a woman. If she weren't so bat trout crazy and petty should would have made a good leader. Definitely smarter than both of her sons. And Margarey can smurf off. I hate her social climbing ass. Her grandmother is the an hero.
I don't think Cersei is really 'hateful' she just wants to protect her children. Her scene in last weeks episode where she was talking to Tommen said it all. She wants to protect her children and family and will do it any cost. She's really, really clever and she needs to be in a world that is full of trout, quite frankly.
I don't think she's hateful either, but I think she did what she did to Margarey mostly out of jealously that she gets to be Queen, a position she wants and that she because Margarey humiliated her, or tried to anyway. She was very mama bear to Joffrey though but it doesn't seem like she's as much like that with the other son for whatever reason.Quote:
