Ten Favorite Game of Thrones Characters
(I once took an extensive psychometric which-TV-character-would-you-be? quiz and landed on Bran Stark. I found this a little dismaying, even though the people who know me best told me that it made sense. (I think I’m probably closer to my #10.) Anyway, I’m compiling this list in reference to the TV series rather than the novels, and I’ve arranged my choices in order of preference. I wish they were more original, but it’s hard to disagree too much with the consensus.)
Tyrion Lannister (whose “smashing beetles” monologue in “The Mountain and the Viper” is the highpoint of the series for me)
Lord Varys, “The Spider”
Arya Stark
Olenna Tyrell
Jaime Lannister
Sandor “The Hound” Clegane
Brienne of Tarth
Samwell Tarly
Tywin Lannister
Maester Luwin
