Queen Cersei is also pretty much unrepentantly evil, but at least there is a good explanation for how she became that way, which is presented later in the series. Joffrey doesn't have any excuses; he's just a little
. The only other characters I can think of who are so unrepentantly loathsome are Tywin and
(SPOILER)Littlefinger.</div>
Should probably chalk Sandor Clegane (aka, the mountain that rides) and Viserys Targaryen up there too with Tywin,
(SPOILER)Littlefinger, Joffrey and Cersei.
One character that has been passed over in the show so far is probably the most important in the Sansa storyline is the knight of flowers, Loras Tyrell she dreamed of Joffery being as noble as him even when she asked her mother to agree to the marriage.
Er, you're thinking about Gregor. Sandor is the Hound, who develops redeeming features later in the story (and arguably has always had them). That said, that's a good point about Viserys. I forgot about him. Even though he features prominently in the first two episodes. That's what I get for posting at 7am, and now 8am
There are other minor characters who don't really have any redeeming qualities as well - the Bloody Mummers,
(SPOILER)Walder Frey, Roose Bolton, and especially Ramsay Bolton.
And yeah, that's a good point about Loras. It's pretty obvious that Sansa is naïve even without her daydreams about Loras though. Still, maybe they'll feature in the next episode. I'm sure he'll have to be introduced at some point. Had he even been introduced by this point in the book? I don't seem to remember him showing up until about a quarter of the way through.
Finally, I'd consider the fact that
(SPOILER)Littlefinger is a bad guy to be a spoiler.
(SPOILER)Even though he tells Ned right away not to trust him. Considering how many people reading this thread probably haven't read the books, it would be nice if you'd mark that.
