| Least Favorite Characters Ok, so we all have listed our favorite characters...so now why don't we list some of our least favorite characters(they don't have to be POV characters either) and the reasons why we don't like them. I guess my least favorite characters would be:

| Re: Least Favorite Characters Joffrey - horrible, spiteful little swine who got what was coming to him!  Raff the Sweetling - boy was I cheering when he got his!  Melissandre - scary, scary lady Gregor - mindless rage personified, needs killing but needs it in a big scrap (hint hint GRRM!) Lord Frey - boo, hiss!!! grrrr (need I say more?  ) |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters In no particular order of non-preference... Joffrey - 'what a little TIT' was on my mind the whole time I was reading anything to do with him Lord Tywin - just a nasty piece of work, form the way he treats his children to the way he treats everyone else Janos Slynt - do I have to explain? Lysa Aryn - my GOD, what a stupid, gullible, insane, neurotic, petty and pathetic character...Good for shock value though, I've read the books four times so far and EVERY time I come to her later scenes I end up shocked all over again...I can't get it in my head that someone can be like that. Cersei - her p***s envy...sorry, girl, all that power, and even some brains that make her competent to wield it...and she just lets it slip through her fingers... Gregor Clegane - no comment there... Robert 'make them fly' Aryn - I don't hold with child abuse in real life but if ever I saw an alternate use for a horsewhip that kid is IT... Varys and Littlefinger - too self serving and many-faced for my liking... Stannis is a sort of grey persona for me...on one hand he's too rigid and sulky, but he still goes and does the right thing... I'll add more as I think of them... |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters Sansa, especially in the beginning was extremely irritating to read. I guess that was why I love Arya so much. Now I don't mind her so much. Joffrey. Definitely not sad to see the guy go =) Lysa and Robert Arryn. I won't mind very much if Robert dies in the next book or so... Viserys. Cruel and pathetic. |

| Admin and Tea-boy  | Re: Least Favorite Characters I like characters with presence, even Joffrey, Clegor, and Cersei. They've got personality and add spice to the overall mix. The ones that annoy me are the ones who aren't directly contributing to the story - Catelyn and Arya especially comes across as incidental characters - certainly before Volume 3 - which means they seem pointless to read about. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters ***SPOILER*** In the case of Arya, I must defend Martin. He is clearly building the character, showing all the events and situations that effect her. In the case of Catelyn, there really is no defense. When it was revealed that she was not dead, and we had this miserable mummy/zombie on our hands I was devastated. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters Welcome to this hole in the ground! I see that you're a Geordie. Catelyn - She's a miserable bugger, we all have family tragedies and cope, but she does not seem to be able to move on. |

| Re: Least Favorite Characters Lord Frey... dont need to explain Janos Slint and Allison Thorne... they make me get up the bed and wanting to kick&punch something Jeyne westerling- the girl could have stayed locked in a room Lysa Arryn I couldnt believ she was so blind... Lord Robert-"It was not me, it was a Giant!!A GIANT!!!" little bastard Joffrey, of course Cersei... although in this third book I liked her a bit more, like Catelyn... they are just mothers out of grief... well anyway Cersei is evil, but i cannot help liking her, with 7 years telling that girl who looks after tyrion that she is hers, and maybe she doesnt need a tongue... it is brilliant! and i am forgetting someone probably... |

At any rate, I'm going to have to add my voice to the crowd against Lord Frey. That man is like a scabrous, filthy, scheming, bitter Hugh Hefner. Ewwwwwww. Also, I'm not really a huge fan of Edmure Tully. He's kind of an idiot. Gregor Clegane is terrible and fascinating at the same time. Forget dark alleys- I wouldn't want to meet him anywhere! I always think about what it must be like to be one of the peasants living under his lordship, and how his wives keep mysteriously disappearing. Creepy. | |

Its the part where the Red Viper tells Tyrion when did he see him for the first time... Cersei threats the nurse with cutting off her tongue is she doesnt let them see the "monster..." | |
