Theon > Daenerys!
Theon > almost everyone in the series.

And since ADWD, almost everyone in the series > Daenerys. :P

I'm only on A Clash of Kings, but my personal rooting is Tyrion and Varys. I love reading Tyrion's chapters, they're always fun to see things in his eyes IMO.

I wouldn't say she's really like this at all during ADWD. During ACOK or ASOS maybe.

To be fair. Daenerys is a psychic, she's just channeling Viserys......a lot.

I'm still quite fond of Dany. You're not alone. Though I was disappointed that Dany's storyline went nowhere in ADwD.

I know it might not even happen (hell it hasn't even happened in the books yet) but
Spoiler
I can't wait for Victarion and the Iron Fleet to hit the siege lines at Meereen. The mental image of thousands of heavily armed Ironborn reavers hitting the shocked Yunkish army (who have no idea what Ironborn even are) is just wonderful

I still like her too, but only because I hope her future involvement in the storyline will be more interesting. Her most recent chapters are so annoying, she needs to finally do something.

Yeah I'm wondering when he'll show up, I've just started the second part of ADWD, after Danys chapter (1st or 2nd).

That's not even the worst of it.

Her constant drooling over Daario was sickening and pathetic.

I don't think it's Benjen either.

Coldhands says he's been dead for a very long time. However, Coldhands COULD be a Stark, from the past.

She's a sixteen(?) year-old, that's understandable. It's not like the other teen ruler protagonists* in the series haven't done stupid things. I like that she's a flesh-and-blood girl with urges and moments of childishness and not some alabaster ideal queen.

Spoiler
thinking of Robb and Jon, are there others?

Maybe it's just me, but am I the only one who finds the six in GoT a bit much at time? I'm fine with six scenes provided it's relevant to the story of the character, but the show seems to be teeter tottering between television and softcoe porm, but I hear this is common in HBO shows.

Also, a question about GoT, in particular, by Varys:

While I understand the basic concept of what Varys means, how exactly does he find the idea of Stannis Baratheon being just a 'terrifying man'? Is it because he does what is lawful regardless?

It does bother me too. It makes me kinda reluctant to introduce friends and family to the series through the TV show. HBO is known for being liberal with showing nudity and six, yes, but as I've mentioned, I don't think any two of the other HBO shows combined has as much six as Game of Thrones. It's not just the abundance of six either, it's how crass and gratuitous it is. In other HBO shows it services the plot and furthers our understanding of the character - in Rome, for example, Atia's nudity in her first two scenes tells us that she's comfortable with her sixuality, and that she uses it to manipulate others. In the Wire Omar's nudity demonstrates how powerful and confident he is. In Game of Thrones they mostly just trot out the boobies and think that gives them license to monologue exposition. And it's a well they go to again and again and again. To me that's poor writing.

Yeah, remember that EASILY 1-2 minute six scene where the two women are having six while Littlefinger chats casually? That's ridiculously uncalled for. IIRC it served NO purpose. About the ONLY thing it served is Littlefinger saying 'Lol,I wont join cause I'm saving myself for six with Catelyn.' I mean, anyone paying attention to the book/show pretty much knew from the beginning he was obsessed. six with relevance? I'm cool with, six carte blanche is just ridiculous and childish.

He COULD be an avatar, but Azor Ahai was his champion basically.
