Tyrion's definitely a crowd favorite, even among the actors.  Nobody went with Stannis.  :(

I must confess that I went on a binge: watched seasons 1 and 2, last month; and then season 3, the last two days. Guess I'm ready for season 4.

I don't watch Game of Thrones, but this cat does a great rendition of the theme song.

I would probably go with one of the Tyrells... they are the most powerful family and generally the one I relate to the most anyways; sit back and let other people play the game against each other while they secure as much power as they need to without drawing attention to themselves. And truthfully they are the most powerful family in the series; while the Lannisters would argue they have all the gold... that gold isn't edible. The Tyrells reign over the most fertile region of Westeros and own the most food, natural resources and people. A well-fed army and a large population will do them alot more good than bags of gold when shit hits the fan.

Top five characters, anyone?

5) Hodor (Hodor, 'nuff said)
4) Jon Snow (You gotta love the underdog of  the wolf-pack.)
3) Daenerys Targarian (I liked her from the beginning, but she really grew into a fiercefull and amazing character.)
2) Davos Seaworth (Not many like him that much, I get the impression. But his honesty and loyalty really resonate well with me.)
1) Tyrion (both in books as in show; perhaps we can fashion him an iron throne forged from daggers)

This was more difficult than I thought. You guys have a top 5?

No real order, I like them in different ways.

1. Daenerys Targarian, for just being a straight up bad ass, her code of ethics and being the rightful heir to the throne (for whatever that is actually worth, given the nature of Westeros aristocracy).
2. Ser Mormont... guy is just really cool.
3. The two Tyrell women... I love them both; they are both playing the system without anyone noticing them.
4. Littlefinger; this will be my list's Davos... this dude is just amazingly nefarious and ambitious. I only dislike him because I fear he will cause the death of other characters I like.
5. Arya and/or the Hound: The character development of Arya I really like, but at the same time I love the Hound just being a complete dick.

Honourable mentions; Ramsey (crazy as fuck), the mercenary with Tyrion (not as, but still, crazy as fuck) Davos (I like him), Stannis, Jamie, the blonde swordswoman... and a whole bunch of other's who's names I cant remember off hand but don't want to describe them for fear of spoilers. I love almost all the characters in GoT, even if it's a love-hate relationship.

I would put Theron Greyjoy on the list but unfortunately I didn't want to go past 5. I feel really, REALLY bad for him because I have a hard time blaming him for what he did.

Hodor.

Don't know what that means, but if it is a spoiler alert, then let's not go there. :biggrin2:

My problem is I read the books. I know what transpires next.
Tyrion, but in the book he was seriously disfigured in the battle of Blackwater.

Daenaerys, of course

Shae, played by Sebelli Kekilli, a former porn star. there are a few porn stars in the show

Makes sense to me.  :biggrin:

Oberon Martell. Well played by the actor, Pedro Pascal. They did a great job of casting there. He really fits the character.

Arya and Sansa Stark; for different reasons

Arya because of her role in the story, but in the book she is a younger person.

Sansa in the show because the actress, Sophie Turner, is dead on in her portrayal. She won't get the credit because the character she plays is full of angst and indecision, but she nailed it.

I like Shaw, even if she's a bit... bitchy...

What, nobody likes Brienne of Tarth? Actually a brilliant job of casting. she is also a dead on portrayal by the actress.

What I'm hoping in season 4 is a battle of wits between Tywin and Olenna Tyrell (played by the formidable Diana Riggs).
