People kill eachother with toothbrushes, what makes you think a sharp sword will have any trouble? We agreed dude... Tyrion should be safe from the wrath of JRR. But he has already had his effect on the plot and is walking around a warzone with little to no plot armor. Not a good sign in Westeros lol I don't know what J.R.R. Tolkien has to do with Tyrion. More importantly I don't think you know what plot armor means. Tyrion is the only man currently who survived being hand of the king. Except for Tywin, he survived being hand of the King to both Joffrey and The Mad King. No small Feat.

He's my hero. I love throne gaming, manipulatively sleazing bastard scumbags, and he's the best of all.

But Batman quote took priority over my own opinion.

Yes, I know. I was adding onto what you said, not disagreeing

Littlefinger is one of the most poorly acted characters in the show.

I think Littlefinger's actor has a fitting presence. Upright, politically correct, batman voice threats under his breath.
Same goes for Tywin. I think Tywin's actor is a marvelous fit.

The worst actor we had so far was seriously the guy who played Rob Stark. The dude gave the same gazing stare in every scene, you couldnt tell if he meant to look sad, menacing or romantic and sensitive.

I hate that the series had 3 different people play the mountain. If they didn't drop his name 5 times each time he appears I would never be sure if it's just a big guy or the mountain that rides.

Theon in the first season just sounds like he's struggling to read lines from a piece of paper. Terrible.

So the boltons have control of the north except for some ground the greyjoys are gaining. Where does this leave stannis? Im pretty sure the boltons will crush the iron born unless its at sea. And i would think the karstarks/stark bannermen would rally to stannis's side instead of the boltons. i have been re watching the episodes and tyrions story is good but they dont give the north much screen time anymore. And its pretty apparent stannis/red women have their eye on the north for now instead of the south.
This leaves 2 powers for the north. Boltons vs Stannis, and i doubt tywin will help the boltons much. Stannis still has 4k men and just got a bunch of gold from the iron bank, and it seems slowly but surely more northmen are rallying to his side. Stannis vs Boltons vs white walkers. Stannis is my favourite character by far, its a shame people dont give the character the credit he deserves. a roose/ramsay vs stannis/davos fight would be pretty awesome. Davos really is the best second hand in the entire show.

If you want to talk about worst acting it's hands down Shae. And especially since she appeared in scenes with Peter Dinklage, her weaknesses were so much more obvious.

Don't think that's fair, she was a pornstar before. What did you expect of her?

Seriously though, she is the worst. As expected though given her "filmography"

And that was over 10 years ago. Since then she has been a professional actress and has won several awards for her acting.
I am not saying she has been great in GoT but her previous career was certainly not the reason. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1402546/awards?ref_=nm_awd

She has won awards? For acting?

I honestly think that's pretty fitting for the character. He is trying so, so, hard to be like his father and to be the honorable, stoic king of the north, that it seems like his character SHOULD be showing no emotion, even though when I rewatched the first season, I could always tell his character had emotions internally.
