    Margaery because she irritated the fcuk out of Cersei and was a devious little wagon.


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


    Margaery because even though her character was done dirty in the show with how her story ended, she was great up until then, and fantastic in the books, and she was one of the best characters overall...


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


    Margaery because I am hopelessly smitten with Natalie Dormer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,475 ✭✭✭Niska


    Margaery Tyrell - she knew how to wield what power she was allowed, and Natalie Dormerdid a fine job portraying her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,033 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Margaery because she's extremely bangable

    Margaery and its nothing to do with her stunning good looks! In all seriousness she wasn't as smart as she thought she was and got done by the real bitch! The mountain was a lump that didn't move

    Margaery ftw


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Margaery produces a stunning performance and whitewashes the Mountain.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Margaery was a wily young ambitious princess wannabe.

    Very ambitious.

    Wasted on Renly and ran rings around Tommen.

    Loved her verbal battles with Cersei.

    3 different mountains.Saved the best til last with Julius Hapthor Bjiornsson.

    His duel to the death with Oberyn Martell was an unforgettable moment.

    Largely redundant post same until Qyburn resurrected a creature of sorts.Ever loyal to Cersei.

    Cleganebowl was a huge let down after the neverending theme of tension between the estranged siblings.

    Margaery for me.

    Match 25:

    Nearly there now... just 4 standard matches remaining in Round 1.

    Two lads who get caught with their pants down visiting the ladies of the night are up next

    Podric Payne

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,027 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Pycelle was actually a little underused in the show.

    Pod though, I mean he got free prozzies! Need i say more?

    Pod for the win

    Pod as he's an absolute legend and has a lovely singing voice... One of the best moments of the last season was him singing Jenny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Two minnows in the grand scheme of things but will vote for Podric Payne as he was a decent enough young lad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,027 ✭✭✭duffman13

    Actually forgot this, class scene!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Grand Maester Pycelle for me.A conniving macheviellian character who was close to the centre of power for a time.

    Podrick just followed Brienne of Tarth around the place.

    A bland character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,475 ✭✭✭Niska


    GM Pycelle - Julian Glover did a great job. Unfortuantely, his best scene was a deleted scene between him and Tywin where the old feeble facade was dropped.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Pod, sure he was just a dote!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,448 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Pod, he's a good sort and he saved Tyrions life during the Battle of the Blackwater.


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




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,475 ✭✭✭Niska



    It's beautiful, and starange the worst season has one of my favourite episodes, and possible favourite scene, but Pod is not as interesting a character as Pycelle an old man pretending to be weaker as a kind of armour.

    P.S. CHrome I'm not American, a u in armour is correct.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,216 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Pod as he's got magic in them there breaches

    Podric dispatches Pycelle with his errr.... weapon. 6-2 the score here.

    Varys because he's the best and Arya is sh**e, and anyone who disagrees with me is also sh**e...

    Ah **** off

    I really didn't care for Arya so Varys it is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,216 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Damn this is a very tough decision

    I'm going with The Spider


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


    Arya for being awesome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    I’ll vote for Varys the Spider as I liked the political manoeuvring and general sneakiness in the show and Varys was a master of it.

    And a big boooooo to the random number generator.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Presumably that's a vote for Varys QB?

    As much as I like Varys it has to the pint size assassin Arya

    No, Arya.


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


    Arya. Varys is great, but he doesn't hold a candle to Arya. Her big "moment" bit was ****e, but aside from that, her parts throughout were excellent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭Westernyelp


    Big talk Geordi. Arya is far superior to the Eunuch. Arya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,027 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Arya started a girl and had an astonishing character arc! The waif ****e was bad but her with the hound, serving tywin, surviving on her own was brilliant.

    Varys is one of the most complex characters and his interactions or always multi layered.

    Genuinely love both characters

    Arya for me for surviving to the end :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    2 immense characters.

    Varys ( Master of Spiders ) and Littlefinger was a highlight in the earlier seasons.He became sort of redundant as the seasons progressed IMO.

    Arya was just so kick ass with pointy.

    Her love of the Starks,her journey with the Hound.

    Loved her storyline with the House of Faces and Jaqen H'aghar.

    Was disappointed she killed the waif.

    Her kill list simply brilliant,just deserts for Meryn Trant and Walder Frey.

    Her interaction with Tywin at Harrenhal.

    Disgusted that she ended up killing the Night King who I deemed central to the end of the story.

    Very lame.

    Arya all the way.

    Varys - for his verbal duelling with Littlefinger and Tyrion.

    If TV Arya was closer to Book Arya, then Arya, but - three characters in season six are stabbed with with daggers. Two are warriors (including Areo Hotah ) who get one stab, the other Arya who gets a dozen stabs in the belly. One survives with a band aid and chicken soup...

    We haven't agreed on a lot today Collie, and some words were said in the heat of the moment. I meant every one of them at the time, but fair f**ks to ya, I couldn't agree with you more on this one anyway... :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Varys becomes the latest victim of the 'pint sized assassin' 6-3 the result.

    Genuinely expected that to go the other way...


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Match 27:

    No let up folks, some big characters are going to fall here.

    The Stark brothers draw swords for the next duel...

    Bran Stark

    Remember Varys freed Tyrion that's how he got to the end just saying ;)

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


    I like neither in this round so I dislike Robb least and vote for him. Bran just annoyed the fcuk out of me for some reason.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Robb easily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,216 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Abstaining from this one as Bran can see everything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭Westernyelp


    I'd vote for Pycelles Ballbag over Boring boring Bran.
    Robb gets it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Robb Stark - Hated Bran. Look what he did to poor Hodor.


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


    Robb. He'd an awesome end (books), and was deeply humanly flawed (reneaging in his Frey marriage promise). But I'd vote for anyone over Bran.

    ASLB may have than Dany's chapters were the worst. I also hear Sansa's chapters cited as the worst by many. But the fact is, the worst chapters were Bran's.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I like neither in this round so I dislike Robb least and vote for him. Bran just annoyed the fcuk out of me for some reason.

    The fact that a cripple lived to the end when mountains of men and women died really bugged the sh1t out of me tbh. Especially given his travels.


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


    Don't care much for either of these Starks, can we have Sansa back instead?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,027 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Robb wins hands down, Bran is useless in the show! What an awful awful hape of ****e he turned out to be
