Dany as number 1 and no Hodor....what a shitty list.

And how is Viserys ranked before Baelish and Sandor, and Jaime is only #13 and Jon #16?

What a bullshite list.

Dany, Joffrey, Sansa, Robert, Cersei, Brienne, Margaery, Khal Drogo and Viserys are way too high. I'd drop all of them by at least 10 spots, more likely 15.

Jon, Sam, Bran, Barristan, Theon, Robb, Little Finger, The Hound and Jaime are way too low. Would bump by at least 10.

My top 10 would be

1) Tyrion
2) Arya
3) Jon
4) Jaime
5) Little Finger
6) Theon
7) Bran
8) Varys
9) The Hound
10) Barristan

Like others, pretty sure it's a troll.

It's hard to separate book from just the characters in the show, so my list would based on the books.

any top 10 without Tywin Lannister is laughable

I saw that. Posted a warning in the op. I ignored the comments when looking at the list.

Stannis needs to be top 5, and Tyrion is an obvious number 1

Ned??? WTF?

meh.

The show replaced Roose and Arya at Harrenhal with Tywin and Arya so maybe if you're going exclusively off of the show.

Otherwise Tywin doesn't really stand out. At least not imo.

Tywin is a character I love to despise. He is the worst father in the series (only next to Craster) and deserves everything he cherishes to be destroyed utterly in the end due to his terrible parenting.

He shouldn't even be in the top 40 in my opinion. That list is horrible.

I reckon since there are no book spoilers in the list maybe it should be for all.

Fair enough.

For those saying Joffrey is too high - I agree that he might be just a smidge high and yeah, I'd put Tyrion ahead of him. But I don't have a problem with Joffrey being near the top. He IS a great "love to hate" character and the actor is doing a hell of a job with him. And I'd definitely put Arya over Sansa. I've never been much of a fan of the Sansa character.

Jon is way way too low on the list. Not sure how they came up with that one.

And, would it have killed them to sneak Hodor in there somewhere?

Out. Obviously a Hodor troll from Rolling Stone. Don't want to get banned, so I shall retreat. The most important character hasn't even been mentioned.

ETA: Once mentioned.

My favorite characters would be:
1. Dany-because she's badass and has dragons
2. Margary-because I think she is becoming very good at playing the game of thrones
3. Tywin-because he's the real boss
4. Tyrion-because he's funny
5. Jon Snow-because he's hot and hopefully he's gonna leave the North and join forces with Dany
6. Littlefinger-because he's a sneaky little bird
7. Varys-because he's a sneaky little spider
8. Grandma Tyrell-because she's funny
9. the remaining Direwolves-because they are direwolves
10. The dragons-because they are MFing Dragons!!

Top people I hate:
1. Joffrey-I want him to die a brutal death
2. Cersei-she is a straight up bitch
3. The Hound-I just don't trust him yet
4. Sam-I need him to whine less
5.Jorah Mormont-I need him to quit being so overprotective
6. that redheaded wildling-I hate her voice, I hate how she acts. She needs to leave Jon alone. Hopefully she dies in the first episode this year.
