The finale is coming. So it feels like an apt time to have a character rate with all the key characters over 8 years of Game of Thrones brilliance.

As ever, you're allowed one -1 and one 11. You should score everyone from 0 to 10 aside from this and half scores are allowed (though no 10.5 scores pls).

I've been hoping to have one of these for SO LONG, yessss *.*

I will have to refresh my memory of a few of these first (Tyrion to win, oh god I'm too mainstream).

obvious and liberal spoilers in my commentary btw

House Stark

04.0 | Ned Stark - god his whole honour thing was so DONE TO DEATH when the series started and he would have been a terrible main character had the show had him as it throughout his run. Also he basically caused so much trouble by icily following Robert as his enforcer. Characters who were against him in the rebellion (like Daenerys) do not have a good impression of him and it's right. He can have some points for raising a stable family but that's about the most he has going for him.
05.0 | Catelyn Stark - good leader but shortsighted and should have foreseen what was coming before she did. Like her husband in many ways but a bit more practical.
04.0 | Benjen Stark - too inconsequential for someone the fanbase theorised about for ages.
07.5 | Robb Stark - the worst casualty of the Red Wedding as someone who adhered to his father's ideals but using them to empower himself rather than empowering a disastrous drunk - he, and Ned, had the qualities of a good king but it was never realised. Of course, from an entertainment point of view he was also fairly boring but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't entirely gutpunched by his death because it eliminated the sanest option as the endgame. The rest of the Red Wedding I could have shrugged off, Robb dying was the one that broke me
07.0 | Talisa Maegyr - A good enough foil to Robb and an improvement from the books in that it gives Robb a real character as a wife, someone you could truly imagine ruling alongside him as a queen
10.0 | Sansa Stark - once pitiable, now, an incredible tour de force, bringing interest and political skill back to the Stark name. I've empathised with her and enjoyed watching her grow as a character so she is easily among my favourites
11.0 | Arya Stark - the other Stark daughter also very pleasingly renounced the Stark family tradition of looking grim and brooding at the entire world very early on and her story arc has been my favourite overall, as a real journey of independence and as it's so characterised by revenge, it can only end in tragedy and I'm looking forward to it. Also she's so handy with a sword. And then there's Maisie Williams who is such a personable actress, did so well from such a young age.
08.0 | Bran Stark - BETTER than the other Stark men in that he's also been on a great journey, and I do enjoy this world's deviations into magic. Would not mind him playing a heavy role in the endgame, as it's all been telegraphed fairly well.
03.0 | Rickon Stark - NO ONE
06.0 | Jon Snow - He's okay but just... ugh. There's too many serious men in the Stark family. Better sense of his ideals than the others which is why he's alive this long I suppose but then they also got him killed once so swings and roundabouts.

House Lannister

10.0 | Tywin Lannister - should have been a king, excellent judgement in nearly all things and it's unfortunate that his one mistake was underestimating his son to be just as ruthless as him.
09.0 | Cersei Lannister - at times excellent and her crowning glory at the end of Season 6 is a testament to her resilience but her methods are on the whole a little TOO lacking in finesse, it's not quite the same as when Tywin was in charge
08.0 | Jaime Lannister
10.0 | Tyrion Lannister - what is there to say about one of the best protagonists in the story, aside from the fact that you are with him and his schemes and his hatred of his family
03.0 | Kevan Lannister - Actually in the books he's a good contrast to Cersei's madness but Lannisters aren't supposed to be sensible, reasonable people unless they're dwarfs, or it gets dull
02.0 | Lancel Lannister

House Baratheon

00.0 | Robert Baratheon - The Usurper caused everything! I stand with House Targaryen!
10.0 | Joffrey Baratheon - what a lovely slice of evilness. Excellently portrayed and always entirely hateable
06.0 | Myrcella Baratheon
03.0 | Tommen Baratheon
08.0 | Stannis Baratheon - You don't kill Shireen and get away with a score more than an 8 even if I do think you'd have been the best king after Robb, a ruler who could make tough decisions and always knew how to correct others' grammar
05.0 | Selyse Baratheon
08.0 | Shireen Baratheon - </3
03.0 | Renly Baratheon - gay love notwithstanding he was very unentertaining and I barely recall any scenes he did for the show besides his death

House Targaryen

10.0 | Daenerys Targaryen - it is rare that I have so many protagonists I really love and want to root for and Dany is the last piece that makes that complete what with being mother of dragons and all
06.0 | Viserys Targaryen - pretty good obvious villain even if it was a bit anime villain, at least he got his deserved comeuppance

House Tyrell

08.0 | Margaery Tyrell
06.0 | Loras Tyrell
10.0 | Olenna Tyrell - Poor Olenna, built with acerbic wit and always entertaining on the screen, I was really sad when her time came to an end, particularly in such despair as her oh so nice family had all been murdered
08.0 | Mace Tyrell

House Greyjoy

06.0 | Theon Greyjoy - I respect this man, I don't think I could still be standing after what he's been through. But there was just too much of it and there have been so many moments where he just loses it
09.0 | Yara Greyjoy - I do adore your average lesbian pirate queen
08.0 | Euron Greyjoy

House Bolton

07.0 | Roose Bolton - budget tywin
07.0 | Ramsey Bolton - depraved but the show focused too long on his depravity without it ever seeming ingenius like Joffrey's was

House Martell

08.0 | Oberyn Martell
05.0 | Ellaria Sand
09.0 | Tyene Sand - purely because she cute
05.0 | Nymeria Sand
05.0 | Obara Sand - Sand Snakes really could have been realised better

Dany's supporters

07.0 | Khal Drogo
10.0 | Varys - love his attitude to the whole debacle, interfere in order that he may protect society, but never be OF society or desire power within that society, it's a great place to be
06.0 | Daario Naharis
09.0 | Missandei
08.0 | Grey Worm
09.0 | Barristan Selmy
06.5 | Jorah Mormont

The Nights Watch and Wildlings

05.0 | Jeor Mormont
08.0 | Samwell Tarly - I can't hate Sam being a quiet, bookish guy myself
10.0 | Eddison Tollett - best wisecracker north of Winterfell
02.0 | Alliser Thorne
-1 | Olly - f*** OLLY
00.0 | Janos Slynt
07.0 | Maester Aemon
05.0 | Mance Rayder
09.0 | Ygritte - You know nothing </3
06.0 | Gilly
09.0 | Tormund
06.0 | Osha

Assorted others

09.0 | Sandor Clegane / The Hound - responsible for some of the best memes throughout the show and a great way to do gruff, make it also incredibly threatening...
05.0 | Gregor Clegane - ...but not so threatening that it lacks wit
06.0 | Beric Dondarrion
05.0 | Thoros of Myr
10.0 | Petyr Baelish - I enjoyed watching this little slime's actions so much throughout the series
10.0 | Davos Seaworth - Davos really reminds me of my dad, which is a very good thing, the fact he lost all of his sons aside
07.0 | Melisandre
08.0 | Bronn - Anything the Hound isn't around for, Bronn is reliably there to replace his lines with
04.0 | Shae
08.0 | Brienne of Tarth
07.5 | Podrick Payne
07.5 | Gendry
05.5 | Jaqen H'ghar
02.0 | The Waif
07.0 | Grand Maester Pycelle - I do find him amusingly hilariously awful
00.0 | Meryn Trant
09.0 | The High Sparrow - loved him as a villain, so reasonable, so pleasant
06.0 | Qyburn
04.0 | Olyvar
09.5 | Hodor - </3
07.0 | Hot Pie
09.0 | Meera Reed - I need Meera and Bran to be a thing at the end (if he comes out of his three-eyed raven slumber that is), she's awesome
08.0 | Jojen Reed
03.0 | Lysa Arryn
04.0 | Yohn Royce - A point for being just as pompous as when he was Lord Ashfordly, I don't think Rupert Vansittart can do anything else and it's brilliant. Inconsequential in the show though.
08.0 | Walder Frey - extremely eminently hateable, very good
08.0 | Brynden Tully
06.0 | Edmure Tully
08.0 | Lyanna Mormont

House Stark

08 | Ned Stark (Well meaning and likeable, bless him, even if it was him that started everything)
07 | Catelyn Stark
06 | Benjen Stark
07 | Robb Stark (Kinda bland? I was expecting to be sadder at the Red Wedding)
05 | Talisa Maegyr
09 | Sansa Stark (One of the best arcs, used to be a really bland character but blossomed into someone excellent)
10 | Arya Stark (likewise, but she was always a boss)
05 | Bran Stark (I kinda liked him less as he went on oops, this magic thing was intriguing at first but I got so tired of how vague and unexplained it was, it better be a good payoff with him or this will be a waste of a plotline, also gosh did he become so plain, did these seer qualities replace his emotions)
05 | Rickon Stark
09 | Jon Snow (The SNL sketch of him was amazing <3)

House Lannister

10 | Tywin Lannister (I can't picture Charles Dance as anyone else, incredible <3)
09 | Cersei Lannister (she has had some truly wonderful moments ofc., but it's not quite up there with her father)
07 | Jaime Lannister (I used to hate him, but he's got a bit better and deeper as this has gone on)
10 | Tyrion Lannister (Perhaps becoming a bit too perfect and Hollywood hero over the last few series, but it's hard to deny how amazing his journey's been and how wonderfully Peter Dinklage has been, @cantthinkofaname: we need to have words over this)
05 | Kevan Lannister
05 | Lancel Lannister

House Baratheon

01 | Robert Baratheon (ewwww)
09 | Joffrey Baratheon (Never has child evil been so brilliantly done)
05 | Myrcella Baratheon
02 | Tommen Baratheon (gosh he was pointless)
09 | Stannis Baratheon (Really fascinating character to watch with how much he pushed for what he believed in, irredeemable by the end, but still fascinating)
05 | Selyse Baratheon
08 | Shireen Baratheon (:'()
06 | Renly Baratheon

House Targaryen

10 | Daenerys Targaryen (She's got fucking dragons, what else do you need to prove you're awesome)
06 | Viserys Targaryen (Barely remember him oops)

House Tyrell

07 | Margaery Tyrell (Went between bland and being a bit more interesting, always lovely to look at granted)
06 | Loras Tyrell
10 | Olenna Tyrell (Such an ice queen, her bluntness and cynicism ruled)
07 | Mace Tyrell

House Greyjoy

06 | Theon Greyjoy (I find him awfully frustrating and a bit difficult to root for, even though he is clearly intentionally flawed)
08 | Yara Greyjoy
05 | Euron Greyjoy (Feel like he's just entered and there''s not enough to him yet)

House Bolton

06 | Roose Bolton
08 | Ramsey Bolton (Got a bit cartoon villain towards the end, but again, a wonderfully portrayed psychopath)

House Martell could have been so much better had they not focused so much on the Sand Snake angle. In fact aside from Oberyn there are no 'real' Martells in that list.

This rate hasn't even included the head of the Martell household which is fair enough, it just shows how sidelined Doran was in the show, he's pretty darn clever and significant in the books. And then to not have Arianne and Quentyn, his daughter and son, who both have huge roles, the former in turning the house against the Lannisters, the latter in showing through one small minor journey just how powerful Daenerys' reach has become that she's attracting suitors from halfway across the world. And then later he also gets to show the reading audience how powerful the dragons are. kink.gif

And Trystane but seriously who cares about Trystane.

Based on the quality of the character NOT how likeable they are - comments where deemed noteworthy. Anyone given a 3 is by virtue of being largely irrelevant and 5's are ok but nothing special

House Stark

07.0 | Ned Stark - well rounded and played but a little traditional
07.5 | Catelyn Stark
03.0 | Benjen Stark
07.0 | Robb Stark
03.0 | Talisa Maegyr
07.5 | Sansa Stark - Strong character arc needs resolution in series 8 - great performance
07.5 | Arya Stark - Same as Sansa
06.5 | Bran Stark - feels underused right now
03.0 | Rickon Stark
08.5 | Jon Snow - one of the best developed and carefully nuanced

House Lannister

08.0 | Tywin Lannister - quite traditional on the surface but so much more depth
11.0| Cersei Lannister - GOT's most complex and thought out character. Ostensibly a villain but also one of the story's biggest victims. You can love hate and sympathise in every season
08.5 | Jaime Lannister - Cliched villainous prince goes on a brilliant re-evalution and redemptive arc to become cliched hero
10.0| Tyrion Lannister - Perfect subversion of standard tropes
03.0 | Kevan Lannister
04.5 | Lancel Lannister

House Baratheon

07.5 | Robert Baratheon
10.0 | Joffrey Baratheon - Superbly played and with depth and subtlety to the writing
03.0 | Myrcella Baratheon
03.5 | Tommen Baratheon
09.5 | Stannis Baratheon - played like a Shaksepearean tragic hero by one of the shows best actors
04.5 | Selyse Baratheon
05.0 | Shireen Baratheon
06.0 | Renly Baratheon

House Targaryen

10.0 | Daenerys Targaryen - Beautifully played, with an understated yet ever present potential to be the big villain
07.5 | Viserys Targaryen - A slightly obvious character but so well written and never hammed up

House Tyrell

07.5 | Margaery Tyrell
06.5 | Loras Tyrell
10.0 | Olenna Tyrell - One of the best written characters in the show and Diana Rigg is perfection
06.0 | Mace Tyrell

House Greyjoy

06.5 | Theon Greyjoy
06.0 | Yara Greyjoy
03.5 | Euron Greyjoy

House Bolton

07.0 | Roose Bolton - an interesting counterpoint to Ned but never developed enough
05.5 | Ramsey Bolton - Interesting character never given any depth but well acted

House Martell

08.5 | Oberyn Martell - Taken too soon
06.5 | Ellaria Sand
03.0 | Tyene Sand
03.0 | Nymeria Sand
03.0 | Obara Sand

Dany's supporters

08.5 | Khal Drogo - Had he lived he would have been very exciting to see develop
10.0 | Varys - One of the best written too
03.5 | Daario Naharis
04.0 | Missandei
05.5 | Grey Worm
08.5 | Barristan Selmy
07.5 | Jorah Mormont = Ser Jorah of Friendzone should be annoying. It's testament to the writing and acting that he isn't

The Nights Watch and Wildlings

07.5 | Jeor Mormont
06.5 | Samwell Tarly
07.5 | Eddison Tollett
10.0 | Alliser Thorne - Brilliantly vile yet always the most true to his oath of any of the Night's Watch despite the betrayal of Jon
05.5 | Olly
07.5 | Janos Slynt
07.5 | Maester Aemon
08.5 | Mance Rayder
10.0 | Ygritte
05.5 | Gilly
09.5 | Tormund
07.0 | Osha

Assorted others

10.0 | Sandor Clegane / The Hound
06.5 | Gregor Clegane
08.0 | Beric Dondarrion
06.5 | Thoros of Myr
09.5 | Petyr Baelish - Brillaint in the early series but lost some purpose recently (unless THAT rumour is true)
07.5 | Davos Seaworth
09.5 | Melisandre
08.0 | Bronn
07.0 | Shae
08.0 | Brienne of Tarth
06.5 | Podrick Payne
07.0 | Gendry
08.0 | Jaqen H'ghar
03.5 | The Waif
06.5 | Grand Maester Pycelle
06.0 | Meryn Trant
06.0 | The High Sparrow
05.5 | Qyburn
03.5 | Olyvar
06.5 | Hodor
03.5 | Hot Pie
05.5 | Meera Reed
06.0 | Jojen Reed
05.0 | Lysa Arryn
05.0 | Yohn Royce
07.0 | Walder Frey
07.5 | Brynden Tully - Had real potential, not in it enough
06.0| Edmure Tully
06.0 | Lyanna Mormont


Some odd choices left out (Balon Greyjoy, Ilyn Payne, Syrio Forell, Rhaegar, Lyanna Stark, Pip, Grenn, Craster, Ros, all of the wolves or dragons and particularly the Night King deserve a mention in my mind. Especially over the likes of Hot Pie, The Waif and Olyvar but I guess there must be a limit

Omg trying to remember who all the characters are is a task on it's own!!

My favourite characters are
- Tyrion Lannister
- Daenerys Targaryen
- Robb Stark (just because he is so effing hot)
- Cersei Lannister (SHAME) - she is flipping amazing the show wouldn't be the same without her!

Since this was never posted I decided to give myself permission to compile the points and post the results even if there were only 7 voters here and despite this not being started by myself lol. I sort of wish we'd rated after season 8 as some of my points would have been different but then again I'm happy to pretend S8 never happened. Here's the first batch:



88. Olly (3.00)
In absolute last place is Olly because F**K OLLY that's why. This kid killed both Ygritte AND dealt the final blow to Jon Snow when he died originally. I have never been so happy to see a kid die on a TV show.



87. Lancel Lannister (3.21)
Another agreeable elimination as Lancel is the religious nut who landed both Cersei and the Tyrell siblings in jail in S6 (which in the end led to their death but that's not solely Lancel's fault). He was of course originally known as Cersei's rebound despite being her cousin but lbr that was never gonna stop her since she was after all rebounding from her brother lol.



86. Rickon Stark (3.36)
This one is a little surprising. I know Rickon was useless and all but third-to-last? We still have pedophiles, mass-murderers and The High Sparrow on the list you know?



85. Tommen Baratheon (3.64)
Ok at least Rickon was useless but Tommen fourth-to-last?? HE GAVE US SER POUNCE HOW DARE YOU. Also his suicide scene is iconic and very important in the grand scheme. Also he was probably the nicest Baratheon (along with his sister) and just rrreally wanted to please both his queen and his mom but unfortunately they were rarely on the same page.



84. Meryn Trant (3.71)
A disgusting pedophile and killer of Syrio Forel. His death is one of the most satisfying deaths because Arya is using her faceless training to trick him into thinking he's about to scar some poor your girl for life but instead he gets stabbed by the pointy end.



83. The Waif (3.79)
How does she manage to be this annoying her entire time on the show? I was kind of tired of her quickly but she was interesting to begin with. I never really understood her character and often wonder if she was really juts Jaqen H'ghar with some rando's face to help train Arya? Idk. NEXT.



82. Kevan Lannister (3.83)
I'll be honest I don't remember him on the show and for someone who is Tywin's brother and appears in four seasons he's quite forgettable. He was additionally killed by his cousin Cersei when she blows up the Sept of Baelor. Cool.



81. Janos Slynt (3.92)
Another forgettable character who appeared on many seasons. I mean you have to stand out to be memorable on such a huge cast but Janos was the commander of the City Watch in King's Landing and was eventually beheaded by Jon Snow in season 5 but if he did anything more important y'all don't seem to care either dropping him in 81st place.

Imgur is being a b*tch so I there will be no images here although I might edit them in later.

80. Olyvar (4.00) [5 x 1]
The brothel owner. Quite a side character and not sure why he's included over many others but I guess his scenes with Renly and Oberyn were hot.

79. Selyse Baratheon (4.00) [5 x 3]
The idiot mother of Shireen and wife of Stannis who allowed Melisandre to f**k up her character arc murder her in order to please the lord of light. Tara Fitzgerald did a great job at portraying this maniac and the moment she snaps out of her lunacy and realises her daughter is burning at the stake is actually quite heartbreaking despite her having been totally into it until that point.

78. Obara Sand (4.21) [Highest: 5]
One of the three Sand snakes, i.e. Oberyn and Ellaria's bast*rd daughters. Obara is wasted on played by Keisha Castle-Hughes who does a decent job with the mess she's handed but lbr nobody liked the sand snakes or their story lines because D&D decided Dorne wasn't worth putting more effort and time into fleshing out so they just became these KILL-KILL-KILL type robots with no real purpose.

77. Myrcella Baratheon (4.21) [Highest: 6]
I would not have expected Joffrey to be the highest placing out of Cersei and Jamie's bast*rd incest kids but then again I guess Myrcella and Tommen were kind of unimportant to the plot and I underestimated how much people loved to hate Joffrey. Myrcella was only there for a short while after she actually started having any lines but then she got killed by Ellaria because revenge I think?

76. Nymeria Sand (4.36) [Highest: 5.5]
Another sand snake. This one has the same name as Arya's direwolf and for that reason I personally gave her a higher score than Obara but again she's a very wasted character who just wants to murder people for no reason.

75. Euron Greyjoy (4.36) [Highest: 8]
I personally would have put Euron in the very last place because while I appreciate the idea behind Euron I feel like he was executed HORRIBLY. He's just a comically laughable disney villain that does not fit within the GOT universe. He gets hardly any backstory and is able to transport between places when it fits him. He's incredibly good at shooting Scorpions and killing dragons in one shot on moving ships which is just ridiculous and his whole character arc is just being a douche because he is a douche. "I am the man who killed Jamie Lannister" like why would you even say that? He was killed by falling rocks you idiot. Plus points though for the actor having once been a Eurovision host lol.

74. Lysa Arryn (4.43) [Highest: 6]
Another OTT crazy lady who is portrayed masterfully by Kate Dickie and really she does feel like she is seriously mentally ill. I have always failed to see any likeness between Catelyn and her but I guess maybe after she lost her mind and stopped taking actual care of herself she changed a bit. Lysa is of course the mother of glow-up kind Robin Arryn who eventually gets whoops pushed out the Moon Door by her lover Peter Baelish lol.

73. Qyburn (4.43) [Highest: 7]
Underrated Dr Frankenstein of Westeros does not deserve to be so low. One of the FEW actually good deaths of S8 was when The Mountain just kind of punched him out of the way to his death and it was so quick and unexpected lmao. I liked Qyburn just being able to get out all his crazy ideas under Cersei's command but I wish we'd seen more of their dynamic in S8 but lol we all know how that went.

72. Robert Baratheon (4.43) [Highest: 8.5]
The king of the memes. If you've ever been to r/freefolk you'll notice he's sort of a mascot there and there's literally a thousand memes featuring his handful of quotes on the show (given he was only on for like 6 episodes or so in the first season lmao) but let's be real: GODS I WAS STRONG THEN.

71. Yohn Royce (4.50)
I'll be honest I don't remember a single thing this dude did on the show but I guess he was Robin Arryn's squire or something and even managed to survive the entire series so yay for Yohn I guess.
