| Re: Least Favorite Characters Tyrion's father says he's not a Lannister. Well, he's decent and honourable so maybe he's right. Watch your back Tyrion, you have the two characteristics Martin loathes in a character, you'll probably get yours next ! |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters I think Tyrion has the characteristics that Martin loves in a character... spirit and savvy. Tyrion is not fearless, but he does not frighten easily. He may not have the physical tools, but he's a fighter. He may wallow in self pity, but he'll come back. Tyrion has a fiery spirit... like a Targ, but that's another post. Tyrion is not the smartest, but he's working on it. He's always reading to increase his knowledge. He constantly watched his father to learn practical applications for his lessons. Tyrion loves to tackle difficult problems. He found that he liked ruling Westeros. Littlefinger and Varys may have pulled a few fast ones on him, but he's learning fast. Tyrion is savvy. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters yeah. i do. i've argued that a lot (on here and other places) but it comes down to the fact i can relate ot her, i feel sorry for her, i understand where she's coming from, so i can't hate her for that. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters In defense of the faery matriarch above...I enjoy reading the Cersei chapters. Maybe I dont like her like her but at least those chapters are enjoyable....unlike a certain teenaged daughter of House Stark I can think of. Those just grate on my nerves |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters I love you faery queen!!!! ![]() I stand by Cersei always...she's just misunderstood!!!! Nothing wrong with a little ambition, she deserves greatness, she SHOULD look down on the rest of the scum that live around her (hehe). She loves the important people to her and that's what counts. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters Quote:
How does she deserve greatness? I'm sorry, but i can forgive Cersei's ambition (nothing wrong with wanting the best for yourself), i can forgive her being a slut (Again, as long as she's happy doing what she's doing i can't really criticise her too much for using her body as a political tool), i can even forgive her complete and utter selfishness and her shockingly awful efforts at parenting. What i cannot forgive his her supreme stupidity. she has zero political sense, she alienates those she should foster as allies, she allies herself with those she should destroy, she makes bad judgement after bad judgement and then blames those around her and then she expects jaime to come and pull her out of the hole she's dug for herself. TBH the woman shouldn't be left unsupervised, lest she burn herself on a hob or wander off outside and talk to strangers. The only thing Cersei lannister deserves is what she's going to get - a long wait followed by a short drop. ![]() | |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters well she's playing about, yeah, but im serious when i say i like cersi and think she's misunderstood. she isn't totally responsible for the way that she ended up, her father and her society have to take a huge chunk of responsbility for making her so manipulative and cruel. and because i can see that what she is is just a product of what happened to her, and the world she lives in, i can't really hate her for anything she does. i feel bad for her, really. a control freak out of her depth. not as smart as she thinks, not valued by anyone for anything other than her sexuality. its sad ![]() but im not going to discuss it again, cos i have done SO many times. but i like cersi. i think she has reason for why she is as she is. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters Yes, she is sad, but interesting. She adds an added zest to the books by her actions. They wouldn't be nearly as engrossing if she were not there. On the other hand. She doesn't have to be cruel and manipulative. She has to take some responsibility for her actions. |
