    tywin great actor.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    The Hound advances 4-2. Tywin has to slum it with the commoners in the Second Chance Showdowns later.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Match 8:

    Next up is an in-house affair with a Baratheon taking on one of his bro's bannermen. I'll give Robert's full title to amuse myself, and if y'all don't like it, tough. No one reads these blurbs anyways, ain't that right ;)

    Robert of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.

    The Onion Knight, Ser Davos Seaworth

    Tywin does not deserve to go out round one but The Hound is slightly better imo, sucks we had to see one go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I do Necro, I do...

    Has to be Davos for me, one of the best characters in both the show and the books


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Ser Davos, probably the most noble character in the whole series


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    Davos, he did come up from flea bottom!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,445 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Davos, he is one of the very few actual good guys. A smuggler with a heart of gold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,034 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Davos. Actually cared about him surviving.

    Davos. He had a good soul.

    Davos blitzes the good King with a 6-0 whitewash.

    Match 10:

    This one I imagine will not be pretty. It's the attractive Greyjoy (well in comparison to the rest) taking on the Holder of Doors
    Euron Greyjoy

    Hodor hodor hodor, as the great man himself would have said.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Due respect to Euron (much better in the books) but have to go with Hodor because Hold The Door had me blubbering like a little baby at 3am in the morning when I watched live on Sky Atlantic...


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    That's the most true and in-depth reasoning I've seen so far Ficheall ;)

    I'd like to combine both ficheall and levars answers for my reasoning.

    Hodor because Hodor Hodor Hodor and I cried so much over hold the door.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,028 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Euron is a good villain, I thought Hodor would have done the decent thing and thrown Bran to the white walkers and saved himself so Euron gets my vote


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    Hodor, because I got all the feels while watching that scene :(


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Euron because he was good craic presenting the Eurovision a few years ago and I liked him in Borgen too, and have a penchant for great Danes.

    Hodor. Didn’t like Euron - was like a cartoon villain.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Hodor leads this contest 5-2 with the time limit expiring at 15.59


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    And Hodor keeps that door held and progresses to Round 2

    Match 11:

    Will Tyrion 'know nothing' or can he vanquish the fiery headed one?

    Ygritte

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Tyrion is clearly just the better character here, but I do like Ygritte


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,400 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Tyrion Lannister - One of the stars of the show and definitely the brains of the operation.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,028 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    As much as I like Ygritte, Tyrion is an excellent character


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Tyrion, possibly the best character in the whole show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,741 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Tyrion was brilliant. So he gets my vote

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Tyrion leads 5-0 with 30 mins remaining


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,413 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    Tyrion, great character with some real depth

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Tyrion the guy owned pretty much anyone he was on screen with.

    Smash the beetles Smash em is still the funniest scene I've seen on a TV show.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    And two more quickfire votes put him through to Round 2


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Match 11:


    Something tells me this may be a little closer. Both of these guys are awesome, but for very different reasons...

    Beric Dondarrion

    Ramsay Bolton


    latest?cb=20181109210945


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Ramsay Bolton because he's absolutely repulsive but in the best possible way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,400 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Both good characters but has to be Ramsay Bolton - an absolutely vile character with no redeeming qualities who added so much more to the show than Beric.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Lightning Lord has to win this one

    Ramsay Snow was an evil blemish on the story and show overall the sausage scene was pantomime villainous he was overkill I think I cheered when he got his.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,028 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Beric is an excellent character and you couldn't keep the dude dead but Ramsey was an absolute monster and another one of my favourites


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭eldamo


    Ramsey, he carried the show in terms of villainy for a season, must say I prefer his old man rats from the flats though.

    Beric was good in the books, watered down a bit in the show to be fairer to thoros.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    Ramsey, purely for this scene which still has me cackling every time I see it!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,034 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Beric, because Ramsey doesn't deserve to have anything easy.

    Ramsey. Pure Bastard


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Ramsay cooks another sausage, this time it's Beric Dondarrion's. 6-2 the score there.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Match 12:

    Well this one is a doozy. It's the Eater of Worlds VS the most prominent Wildling in the show.

    The Mother of Dragons taking on the man that Giants fear.

    The Nephew lover VS Brienne's bitch

    Tormund Giantsbane

    Danerys Targaryen


    360?cb=20190520173137


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Tormund because Dany is the absolute worst


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,028 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Tormund for his impeccable taste in women


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,400 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    I actually prefer Tormund but if he was missing the show probably wouldn’t lose too much. The same couldn’t be said of Danerys Targaryen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,034 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Vote for Danny, because she did the right thing in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Tormund had great chemistry with every character he was paired with on screen loved him from the start.

    Danerys was just pissed at everything all the time very bad character development second only to Sansa on my hate list on the show wasn't surprised how the character ended was surprised what she did to Sam's dad and brother.

    Tormund for me here just for his scene stealing with The Hound


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Khaleesi of course. Yes her character went downhill but those early seasons she was the best for me and Emilia Clarke is the most stunning woman alive imo.

    Tormund is Great. But not against Dani.

    Dani T for the win
