re: Who is your favorite character on Game of Thrones?

1. Tyrian is my favorite by a mile. Who doesn't love a hard drinking, smartass with a Napoleonic complex who's also an underdog?

2. Bronn is probably my second favorite due to his ability to be funny, badass, and never be boring.

3. Dany is better in the books. Lets face it, season 2 ruined her character with her bitchy "Where are my dragons!" ad-nausium BS. However, starting with the 3rd book, she turns into Aegon with tits (not particularly large tits, but still tits). Also, she's really hot, has a cool backstory, and has dragons.

4. It is impossible to hate Mance Raider. He's just too cool, too unpredictable, too awesome.

5. Varys is just too interesting to not like.

6. Khal Drogo would be ranked much higher on our list if he hadn't died so quickly.

7. The show has been kind to Stannis, turning him into a legendary badass. He's not quite as cool in the books, but he's still pretty awesome.

8. Tywin Lannister is ruthless, rich, cunning, and pretty much just runs shite. If you want something done, you get Tywin. He is also a fully fleshed out character with understandable emotions, motives, grudges, ect. He's not only very human, but also very cool.

9. Red Viper: best...short lived...character...ever!

10. The Hound is such a deep and complex character, one of many whom Martin seems to have destined for a complete 180 in perception.
