    In the process of re-reading the books an watching the tv series. Im watching series 1 and I never actually noticed how some characters can be annoying. The character I find most irritating has to be Maester Pycelle, I find myself nearly screaming at the laptop for him to shut up!
    So what characters irritate you guys?

    Yeah he's pretty annoying. Sam annoys the **** out of me to be honest.

    Shae is fairly awful.

    Out of the females it's between Cersei and Gilly, and out of the males it has to be Theon the cockless twat.

    ...and that yellow dragon really gets on my tits aswell, noisy prick.

    As for characters I love, Hodor is my hero.

    Hodor I think of as superfluous - might as well be a donkey or an ox, all he does is carry. Shae on the other hand is gorgeous. Interesting back catalogue as well.

    Sansa is a tool

    I was gonna say Sansa too. Maybe (hopefully) the next book will change my opinion of her but as of A Dance With Dragons she's still a toolbox.. TV Jon Snow is a bit of a knób but he's probably my favourite book character.

    Catelynn Stark for me.

    Season 1
    The last thought that went through Ned Stark's head must have been 'thank the old gods I don't have too put up with that miserable woman a second more'.

    The one bit of enjoyment I took from the red wedding scene was the fact that she was gone but that didn't last long.

    Bran and Jojen, bromance of the forest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭nibtrix


    Jojen Reed - yawn!

    Dany. Got very annoying in the second series by just shouting "where are my dragons" over and over again. Also extermely smug and irritating look on her face in the third season.


  • Posts: 8,016 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yeah the Reeds aren't great to be fair. Hodor keeps all those scenes in check.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I'm sick of Bran both in the show and the books.
    I wish he had died in the very first episode.

    Also Brienne is the most boring character ever created.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭The Bogman


    From the books, Sansa and Bran. Sansa especially, used to hate turning to a new chapter and seeing that it was hers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    I'm really interested to see where Bran's actually going in the books. Early on it was tedious at times but in ASOS and ADWD I started to enjoy the few chapters we got. Same with Sansa in AFFC although that may be down to her being a familliar face.

    I also really liked Brienne as her story progressed.

    I loved the Bran's chapters in the 1st & 2nd books, then again in ADWD the stuff in between wasn't great at all even with Hodor hodoring about.

    Sansa so far, but in TWoW I can see her figuring out how to play the game of thrones.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭lala88


    Cersei, Joffrey, Viserys, Dany, Bran, Catelyn Stark, Sansa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭podgemonster


    Tommen, wish he was more like his older brother.

    And she's a complete askhole: someone who asks for advice then ignores nearly all of it.

    Sansa is on the list for me, not so much in the last season as she wised up to a few things but in the first season, "moi prince JOFF-rey!" grrr, wake up you stupid girl! The way she pronounces his name bugs the bejesus out of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    Dany's Eyebrows irritate me the most.

    Ugh, I know, I found her annoying in the books too sometimes. But that "where are my dragons? My dragons! Where are they?" got especially grating in season 2, Emilia Clarke is playing the role very earnestly and her lines don't help.

    Though I was definitely warming to her by the end of season three, she can pull off that Arse Kicking Battle Barbie thing a lot better than I would have believed

    Joffrey.
    Catelyn Stark.

    Catelyn is a bit too convinced of her own "goodness". Joffrey is just annoying. He's not even a good baddie unlike say, Commodus in "Gladiator".

    Have to disagree with you on Joffrey. Jack Gleeson has done an amazing job as portraying him. So much so that people hate him more then any other villian on tv or in movies. That's how good a job he is doing

    I loathe Danerys. For all the reasons outlined above and also because she's a smug, self satisfied monster with a misguided sense of entitlement who's shaping up to be no better than her brother or father.

    My brother despised her to the extent that a few books in he just started her chapters completely, justifying the decision to himself with the vague logic that it was all happening on the other side of the sea anyway so he'd pick up what he needed to know through the other characters for the time being.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,362 ✭✭✭K4t


    Danaerys
    Sansa
    Sam&Gilly
    Shae
    Tyrion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,620 ✭✭✭Graham_B18C


    Dany was one of my favourites in the TV show but (book 5 spiller)
    in ADOD she has the worst chapters, she does nothing and I kinda hope she gets killed and that young targarian lad (forget his name) takes the throne


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 375 ✭✭Raedwald


    Sansa's chapters in the books bore the life out of me. Find them really difficult to read.

    Bran's can drag a bit as can Sam's but I can see them being two of the most important characters in the final two books.

    Arya. She's too cool for school. Everything just falls into place for her, someone needs to teach her a lesson!
