I've seen Season one but I haven't read the books. She was one of my favorite chars in the first season I loved watching the character grow.

The growth is great. One of the benefits of her being so young and having known nothing but abuse and exploitation is that it really let her bloom once she gained control over her life. But I was rooting for the maegi all the way once she revealed that she'd been screwing them the entire time. I'm glad Drogo died, I'm glad Rhaego was still-born, and although I wish Mirri Maz Duur had lived, I suspect at that point -- after the Dothraki had taken everything from her -- she probably no longer wanted to.

Having read the books, Dany is one of my favorite characters by far - she goes through the most character growth in a series full of characters that evolve in incredible ways. I mean, in the books you actually start to like Jamie and even Cerci to some degree becomes a sympathetic character - that's some incredible character growth from the start of the series.

Still a Jon Snow and Arya Stark fan above all else though, but Dany and Tyrion are real close.

Having reread the books last summer, I realized something.. I don't like almost all of the main characters. Sure they may be interesting, but they are bad people who cause an untold amount of suffering for very selfish reasons.

The Hound was the only decent one of the bunch. Sure he was a monster, but at least he suffered no illusions about what he was. Almost all of the rest think their actions are right and just purely because they are royalty. Throw away ten thousand commoners lives over a personal grudge? Sure, whats the problem?

I hate most of what happens with Dany in book 5, though her last few chapters were interesting.

All about Arya and Tyrion, favorite characters BY FAR.

Warborn · 2012-04-01, 12:43 AM

Tyrion and Arya are great because they're both characters who succeed in spite of a world which is prejudiced against them. That and Tyrion is very entertaining. Once Dany finds her purpose she becomes a great character too, for similar reasons, although in the last book her girlish weaknesses were annoying. I guess that's GRRM reminding us that she's still just a 14 year old girl at that point, though.

They did a bang-up job on Brienne.

They forgot her wallet chain.

Higby I prefer Tyrion first for comedy then Arya and Jon Snow. I did like the desert Scorpion though

"You know nothing Jon Snow." =)

I'm afraid to read the majority of this - too many spoiler opportunities!

Anyway, back to Season 2....

Indeed

Epic Setup

By far one of the best Series I have ever read and I'm not done book 4 yet

looking forward to the rest of the season and seeing how true they stuck to the story.

Warborn · 2012-04-02, 11:50 AM

A Feast for Crows was difficult to get through. I'm hoping that the series actually ditches the book format after the second season. A Dance with Dragons tells the story from the perspective of other characters and happens concurrent with Feast. So with any luck, season 3 will actually be a mix between Dance and Feast and not force people to endure a season where few of their favorite characters are involved.

Feast for Crows is book 4 and Dance with Dragons is book 5. You are forgetting A Storm of Swords, which is book 3.

So season 4 and 5 may be mixed to show it chronologically concurrent.
