I guess it's just habit since I haven't read any books. But yeah, it's not like anything is going to be spoiled at this point.

I do wish the Middle Ground thread was more active. I felt like that one was perfect for me.

If i was in the Readers thread I would probably look as dumb as some of these Khal Drogos posting in the Hodor Thread. I woudl mispell one name or location and be dog piled.




Edit: and there are still a SHITLOAD of characters and other info I don't know about from the books. I would have to wear out Google and GoT wiki.

Besides, someone has to keep SFP on his toes in the Hodor threads.

Daario Naharis isnt a bad choice.


I've never read the books but this is the obvious choice as far as the show goes. Killed 2 other highly trained killers at the same time. Skilled in fighting multiple styles, young, and he bangs the dragon queen. I'm 100% convinced he would win a 1 on 1 to anyone I've seen on this show.

All of Brienne's fights are odd

Loras if fighting with a long axe for some reason.

Jamie is half starved and literally had his hands tied

I don't think Brienne coudl beat the Mountain. I literally have no idea what she brings to that fight. She isn't as fast as Oberyn, and if he gets tied up he will fricking wreck her.

I don't think she beats Bronn. Daario is also a bad arse.

I have her top 5 but not #1.

Well, considering 3 of those guys are dead, one lost his sword hand, and the other is a zombie. Looks pretty good for Brienne.

Agree. She just always seems to pull out a win against top ranked people and has a top notch resume and RPI.

Sure, but go watch her fight with the Hound.

You think she wins that kind of fight against the Mountain?

I'll say this one more time. Th Hound was drunk off his arse and sick. And he still damn near beat her. The Hound whips her arse 9/10

yeah he had that super infected neck wound thing.

But he is sorta gimpy now.

Also, how about Khal Drogo in this conversation?

Drogo turns the discussion into one about how the fight is staged. An Arakh would be pretty shitty for fighting a heavily armored knight. So it depends on whether you are on foot or horseback... What amount of armor... How close quarters... Etc.

Becuase he's dead. This is about the best one that's still alive.

This is a good response. If you allow dead people to compete, you have to allow the morning Star into the conversation, and then it really isn't a conversation any longer.

A shite ton of dead people have been discussed including but not limited to:

Oberyn
Selmy
Arthur Dayne
Ned Stark
Syrio Forel
Robert Barratheon

And a lot of them fought with something besides a sword.

So get off my back
