The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Yeah, Arya Stark kicks major butt as well. She's got more brains than all the other Stark children put together (especially Sansa). What is so wonderful about the show is trying to guess the motivations of the characters & who will line up with who. Jon Snow wants to fight for the Starks but he owes them nothing - the Night Watch is Westerlos French Foreign Legion where people not only join to forget, but to be forgotten. I'll be interested to see what lies beyond the wall, it reminds me of Skyrim & I've a feeling Jon Snow's got a far bigger role in Westerlos events than first appears.

Tyrion Lannister may imagine himself to be a manipulative schemer & debaucher, but he's the most honourable character in Westerlos, always keeps his word to others, regardless of their status. He's the one I'd want to end up king & also the least likely to get it. Daenerys Targaryen is also as honourable but she's so naiive. Her main power is the dragons (eventually), some latent magical properties (it appears) & being a rallying standard for all with grudges against the Baratheons, Lannisters & Starks, but so far I don't see that as being enough to get any sort of Westerlos based groups behind her claim.

The one I'm surprised hasn't grabbed the throne for himself is Tywin Lannister. He looks like the sort that wouldn't think twice about exterminating his own children to ensure his grandchildren still have a powerful Lannister legacy to inherit after he's gone.
