Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

Am I the only that think Daenerys is pretty unfit to rule compared to say Stannis ? Hell, John Snow is probably a better leader.
Sure she is better than Joffery but that isn't saying much. |

No one, short of Hitler and the mad king, deserves the kind of torture he received--OK actually we can throw the Mountain in there as well. Yes, I absolutely agree, though GRRM has made it pretty obvious that she is going to end up as the ruler of Westeros (if not the entire known world). Honestly, Renly would have made the best king of Westeros, he seemed to have the the most well rounded traits between honor and sensibility (I imagine Robert was much like this when he was younger, before Lyanna died). Like a practical, happy medium between Eddard and Stannis.

Yeah. She's poor. She constantly overreacts. If Jon can recognize what got his father and brother killed and avoid that, he's far and away the best. But he was dealt a rotten assed hand. |

Her storyline isn't entirely boring. I just don't like the drama involved in her situation. I often find myself wishing a fight would break out or a dragon would show up. Conversely, I could watch Jon Snow, Tyrion or Stannis talk for days and not long for a sword to clash.
Daenerys herself has just never been very interesting to me. I wonder how things would be different if Khal Drogo had never died... |

Yeah, I discussed this with my wife. Sansa is sitting there with: 1. Theon Greyjoy, who betrayed the Starks, killed dozens of people that she knew, and (as far as she knows) killed Bran and Rickon. What he actually did was drive the two of them into exile. 2. Roose Bolton, who literally killed her mother, and conspired with the Freys to kill her brother and god knows how many of their bannermen and soldiers. 3. Walda Frey, the fat daughter (or granddaughter) of Walder Frey, who conspired with the Boltons to murder basically every Stark they could get their hands on, and whose wedding to Roose was part of consummating the relationship between the houses. 4. Ramsay Bolton, her psychopathic, sociopathic, sadistic fiance. Wow. Just wow. And yeah, we're completely caught up to, past, or off the books now. I don't think I could spoil anything if I tried.

I suspect he will eventually but only when it is him and Sansa.

Yeah.
Not sure how it happens in the books (because I'm not that far yet)....but I think they'll give him redemption in the show. Say maybe Stannis takes Winterfell and kills Roose. They'll have Theon kill Ramsey....ala Breaking Bad with Jesse and Todd. |
