Ricon will be the next Lord of Winterfell, Ward of the North to Queen Daenerys and King Jon.

Sansa Stark is most boring Stark.
still 100 times better than dae whatever.

Hubris must be punished. Severely.

My, how Cersei irritates me. Jon Snow irritates me too.

There's something about the old Nike slogan "just do it".

Stannis, however, is the biggest ass of them all.

Stannis is the one true king.  Also one of the best characters, at least in the books.  :pope:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Stannis acquired his claim through war, as did everyone else.  Whoever wins is the one true king.

Yeah. The claim that Stannis is the "one true king" is laughable. If the crown is claimed through blood then Daenerys has a better claim. If we accept that Targaeryens could have been legitimately usurped by Baratheons through the victory at the Red Fork, then Baratheons have been usurped by Lannisters through the victory at Blackwater, and Tommen has a better claim.

Either way, I can't wait for Brienne to kill his fratricidal ass.

Tommen is the king because of his claim to be the lawful heir of the Baratheon dynasty.  Stannis is the one true king because he is the lawful heir of the Baratheon dynasty.  But he has to defeat the pretender first.

A brother who betrayed him and usurped his throne out of pure opportunism? Just saying. It was not like Renly denied that was what he was cynically doing.

Why are you still a Renly supporter?
He tried to usurp Stannis claim to the throne, and lost.
Natural selection. He selected himself out by not taking out Stannis, clearly his main rival, before attempting to march to King's Landing.

By episode four this season, it's rather obvious Tommen is completely useless.

The Kingslayer is, in my opinion, the best character in the TV series. From completely unlikeable to somewhat sympathic.

Season five so far seems a bit tighter and with less boring storylines.

Is it bad that I watch Gay of Thrones but don't have the drive to watch Game of Thrones? :blush:

Yes.

He is just a nice boy. Now sure how that happened in that family.

He will eventually show his true colors.

That, probably, will be his downfall.

GoT seems much darker this season. Cersei letting the religious fanatics loose. What happens in Castle Black, I have no idea about, but I do think Jon Snow's story arc is about to take a big upturn.

Aidan Gillen must be one of the best at playing semi-creepy roles. He was good in "The Wire", but his Littlefinger is just superb.

I hope for some comeuppance for the Boltons, but the way the series are made that's probably for season six.
