Game of Thrones: Who you root for?

[Dat Dude]

With such a large cast of characters and fractions I wanted ask two things: What House/Family do you root for and what character is your favorite?

House: Tyrell, manipulative but with a purpose. So good at what they do.

Character: Lord Baelish "Little Finger". The ultimate mastermind and glorious asshole. A guy that came from nothing who now plays with nobles and royals like puppets.

What about you?

nudity.

[Cela]

Starks are gonna pull it off!

Truthfully, I find myself rooting against everyone except Jamie and Tyrion.

[Raskovnik]

House: I don't particularly have any interest in any of the houses.

Character: The Hound. By far my favorite character and the one I'm pulling for the most.

[Beets by Schrute]

Hard for me to choose to a House. Lannisters can go to hell. Starks are pretty much dead. Tyrells are alright, but never the center of attention. I'd root for Baratheon if Stannis was not a nut job.

Character: Despite what I've said about the Lannisters, i enjoy Tyrion.

[AwamoriRock]

Anyone but Dany.

Currently pulling for Robert Strong to smash people.

[The Trashman]

[Pooh Carlson]

Jamie got a lot more sympathetic when he got back to King's Landing. Tyrion I enjoy. I find myself rooting most for Daenerys and Ayra.

[comahan]

No one specifically. There's not like, a babyface that i want to see triumph over everyone. The beauty of the show for me is that there are dozens upon dozens of fantastic characters, and each time they get into a conflict with another - THAT is when I start rooting for someone.

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

I don't back any single house.

I do back Jamie, Tyrion, Littlefinger, and Varys, though.

[Hurbster]

Jon Snow.

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

go House Blackfyre! Daemon was robbed!

[Deleted]

Just characters in general:

Tyrion, Jorah Mormont, the Hound, Aria, Jon Snow (the guy's been through a lot and could use a 5-minute break), and Varys.

If they cast someone who matches her literary description, Arianne Martel.

[simplydurhamcalling]

Tyrion, The Hound, Jon Snow and after season 4 Arya, she really grew on me.

[Apricots And A Pear Tree]

Death.

[Goldenbane]

Of course I root for Tyrion and Arya, so that's a given. I also root for Bronn, I'm hoping he's still featured in later episodes.

Some people might be mad at me for this, but I root for Sansa. I'm hoping her time with Littlefinger teaches her how to play the game of thrones...and I hope she becomes a master at it...and I hope she kills Littlefinger somehow. I just want that arrogant prick to get his.

I want to like Dany...but there's just something about her that annoys me. I realize that she's been through a ton of crap, but she always seems a bit...cowardly to me. That's not really the word I want to use but...it's the best I can come up with. Whenever anyone goes to challenge her: DRAGONS! 10 BILLION SOLDIERS!! EPIC KNIGHT/ASSASSIN/ADVISORS/WHATEVER!!! Yeah, she went into the tower and that was very brave and all that...but even that ended with DRAGONS DO MY WORK FOR ME!!! and it was all illusion anyway and none of the mages looked like they were really bad ass and dangerous. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, I'd like Dany more if she was in a position where her troops and friends couldn't back her up, and her dragons were defeated handily and she actually stood up and took on whatever was challenging her, herself...with no help in the end from anyone or anything, and what she was facing actually seemed dangerous and posed a real threat...not just cowardly illusions and crap.

I like Sam Tarly a lot, and root for him. I want to like Jon Snow more, but he makes really stupid and idiotic decisions. I actually don't really like anything about the wall in general and think it's pretty stupid. I find myself rooting for the Wildlings most of the time. I guess I don't understand why the watchers on the wall have to make those dumb vows and then just sit there. Bring the fight to the stupid white walkers already! Heck, they walked right past Sam and didn't do anything, take them down!!

I root for anyone who takes on The Greyjoys, the Freys, or the Boltans.

I also seriously root for Briene of Tarth, Podrick Payne, and Ser Davos.

[Johnny]

I've watched every episode, and I still don't know what half the characters are doing. I struggle to remember anybody's name. I like the lady with the dragons!

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

No Davos fans yet? Love me some Onion Knight, especially when he's hanging out with Salladhor Saan.

Edit: Just saw Goldenbane's post, agree with pretty much all of that, after season 4, Sansa quickly went from one of my least favourite to most loved characters.

Also agree about Dany, she has minor setbacks, but everything has been a bit easy for her so far, though considering what went on with her dragons, it looks like that might change next year.

Bronn is just awesome, a perfect mercenary, you always know where he stands, he's open about his deceit and lack of honour and you just like him even more for it.

It needed to cook for awhile, but I think Sansa's actually ended up with one of the best developed arcs of any of the characters. Really looking forward to where her story goes now.
