Boardsies Decide - Game of Thrones Greatest Character

salmocab

Danerys for me, absolutely central to the greater plot. Also smoking hot.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Anyone who think Dany is a good character is deluded... she's the Mariah Carey of Game Of Thrones

Wrongway1985

Tormond

Zaph

Obviously there'd be bugger all story without Dany, but Tormund is much more entertaining so he gets my vote.

Trigger

Tormund gets my vote, much better character, got bored of Dany pretty quick in both series and books

Necrina

Tormund because I would choose a funny wildling over a mad queen

PerrinV2

Tornund ,the way the show went probably sullied my view of danerys

Necro

And in the tightest battle yet, Tormund (with a little help from Necrina) topples the Mad Queen.

6-5 the scoreline.

Necro

Match 13:

Two members of the Kingsguard facing off next.

Meryn Trant





VS



Jaime Lannister

There's a dragon heading your way buddy..

Zaph

Has to be Jaime Lannister. For a supposed baddie, you often find yourself rooting for him rather than his opponent.

Westernyelp

King slayer. Trying to ignore the nasty sister business

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Jaime because Meryn's a big paedo and even though Jaime got a terrible ending in the show, still a great arc until the final season

Funnily enough, incest would be one of the lesser crimes Cersei and Jaime are guilty of

I ain't buddies with anyone who thinks Dany is a good character...

davetherave

Jaime because as Bronn says "you're[Meryn] a grub in fancy armor who's better at beating little girls than fighting men." and as The Hound says "Any boy whore with a sword could beat three Meryn Trants".

RobbingBandit

The Kingslayer he is my favourite of all the characters book and TV.

PsychoPete

Jamie, always had a bit of good in him

quickbeam

Jaime because he so pretty.

I'd have gone Dany too if I'd been here earlier. As a book reader I've not had to deal with the downfall that her tv counterpart went through.

Necro

Jaime Lannister storms into the next round with a pasting of his Kingsguard buddy. 6-0 the scoreline.

Necro

Match 14:

A blood feud is reborn in this next battle;

Eddard Stark





VS



Theon Greyjoy

RobbingBandit

Jaime can't win in the story he killed the mad king to stop him ordering Tywin killed in a world where honou means so much Jaime is better making the rules up as he goes along problem for him was most of the kings guard were Rheagars friends so he was on his own and protected his father rather than the king. It's funny this never comes up in the show and very rarely comes up in the book.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Theon because Sean Bean can f**k off and all...

quickbeam

Ned, because, "one does not simply become kingshand and survive crossing a Lannister".

She's literally the worst character in the books too though QB. Her chapters would bore ya to tears.

Ficheall

Has to be Ned.

Wrongway1985

Theon for me, tough one.

Nah, I liked her.

RobbingBandit

Ned is too prickly I'd have chopped Jaime down in the throne room I'd have cut up little finger and knowing Jon Snows parentage I'd have murdered Robert as Lyanne would have been much more important to me than a friend.

In saying that Reek is a sneak so Ned gets my vote over tooless Theon

Eddard was such a good egg noble and strong. He didn't last long enough though to have made much of an impact I feel. Theon on the other hand was a great character. So human. So flawed. Theon for me.

Fair enough. Each to their own. You're wrong though.

Eddard Stark - Ten times the man Theon could dream to be.

sKeith

Eddard was the best character in the whole show..... should win contest easily!!!

Necro

Ned leads 4-2, this contest expires at 18.04

Zaph

Ned Stark, because Theon is, sorry has a bit of a useless prick.

duffman13

Theons story arc, arrogant head melter, villain, reek the traitorous feck was an evil ****e, his redemption was brilliant though but a bit soured by the rushed last couple of seasons.

Neds absolutely central to everything that went on even though he was in season one only. Genuinely painful death for my naive head watching it.

Ned wins but just about

Necro

Ned takes down Theon/Reek with a 6-2 victory and makes it past the first round.... so very unlike Game of Thrones and Sean Bean's roles in general then :P

duffman13

A bit sad to see Sansa go and Tywin.

Sansa had a fantastic story arc throughout

Tywin was the pure brains behind the operation but to be fair the hound was played beautifully. Thank god for 2nd chances, cant believe I missed the start of this

Necro

Match 15

Over the halfway point now and next up is the battle of the friend-zone characters....

Jorah Mormont





VS




Samwell Tarly

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Sam, because Sam is the best

Yeah, luck of the draw really. No way would Tywin/Sansa/Dany/Theon go out before the likes of Viserys and The High Sparrow but that's randomisation for ya

duffman13

Jorah, good back story to him. And absolutely the most friendzoned character in any TV series ever. Sam was grand but his bumbling stick was hard going at times despite him being a likeable enough character

Jorah ftw

Collie D

Jorah Mormont - I found Sam a bit boring. Even his discovery of Jon Snow’s bloodline seemed to be done in a “not really that important” blink and you’ll miss it kind of way.

Yeah but that's why you put your morals and random fairness out the window so no one has to make serious decision in round 1

quickbeam

Jorah because Sam was a bit of a dope in the books.

Or apply seedlings.

PsychoPete

Jorah, hes a noble chap. Gets my vote

RobbingBandit

These choices are mean

Ser Friendzone Vs Sam the Slayer

Jorah in the beginning is a scumbag character lying and spying on Dany he loves her with all his heart in the end and is willing to die for her.

Sam is such a great character in the books he's good in the show too ..

Jorah get my vote here he fights to win back his place at danys side.

Ficheall

Another vote for Jorah.

Niska

Jorah - the bear to his maiden fair.
