Wait, so its unpopular to generally like Jaime Lannister? Because I think he's kind of cool overall (minus the creepy incest with his psycho twin sister).
GAME
I do not care for Mira
I hope Lady Forrester dies
I like Ludd Whitehill
Books/Show
I hate Tyrion and I want him to die.
I want Dany to die a slow and painful death
I wanted Joffrey to live
I hate Jaime
I find Ironrath to be a very unrealistic hold, it almost feels like a poor medieval imitation of a modern cabin-mansion. Most Medieval and Westerosi garrisons should have at least 100 men, even if most of the Forrester Host was killed at The Twins.

Even worse, he forced someone else to suffer his fate by marring one of the girls, and the guy actually ended up really enjoying the girls company, he really missed out and almost his whole family killed because of it, the damn fool!
Agreed. He is a selfish little twat who got a ton of people killed because he wanted to marry Talisa. Pathetic. Not a lick of honor. It's hard to believe he's Ned's son.
Okay.
Game
* I hate Ethan so much and I wish his death was even worse than it was.
* I love the Whitehills.
* Ramsay Bolton is a s… moreeriously misunderstood character.
* I hope Talia dies.
* Gared deserves to fall off the Wall.
* Mira is the most developed character.
Show
* I hate Hodor because he's pointless
* Dany is the smartest and best character because dragons.
* Tyrion should have died a long time ago.
* Oberyn was irritating and I'm glad he's dead.
* All the Starks were stupid. (I actually kinda mean this one)
I don't particularly like the Martells, with the exception of Oberyn. The entire family is made up mostly of idiots. They haven't succeeded at much yet, and given their track record, that won't change anytime soon. And yet people give the Starks shit for not playing the game well. The Dorne chapters were probably the least interesting part of AFFC and ADWD. They got better later on, but they're just filled with so much wasted potential. And I say this as someone who loved A Feast for Crows.
-I don't think Margaery was acting out of character in the game.
-I'm not actually very interested in Asher so far (though I agree he has a very cute smile!).
-I like Daenerys and Stannis a lot, but I actually want Tommen to keep the throne. He's a sweet kid and I think he could make a great king. Especially with Margaery to guide him instead of Cersei.
-Varys is one of my favourite characters (I don't think he's disliked much, but I don't think he really has many fans).
-Tyrion was pretty unpleasant in the books, but I liked him in the show and game.
-I wasn't a fan of Ned Stark. Too black & white in morality. Also the thing with Catelyn and Jon.
-The show has too much rape (mostly in the last season). Some of the consensual scenes in the books were changed to be rape in the show. I know it's referenced a lot in the book (e.g hearing about the mutineers at Craster's keep). But I don't need to see that shit.
Agreed, I thought A Storm of Swords and A Dance with Dragons were deadly boring at times, though still good. A Feast for Crows, A Game of Thrones, and A Clash of Kings were the ones that really had me engaged.
Saying that Game of Thrones always has bad endings is a bad stereotype, and saying that you want the game to end really bad for the Forresters just because of the fact it exists in this universe seems like just reinforcing that stereotype IMO, and not giving a whole lot of thinking behind it.
But whatever, it is an "Unpopular Opinions" thread.
Ethan annoyed the hell out of me, I'm glad he died.
I like Ramsay Snow.
I hope the game ends really bad for the Forresters. This is GOT, "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

I partly agree partly disagree with your post, but you get a +1 for being a Varys fan Conleth Hill is perfect for him, I could watch his sorrowful frown all day.

Compared to all other TT games that have relatively good endings, I want this one to be bad for a change. It being GOT, its the perfect opportunity to do a bad ending. GOT is popular for no one being safe, bad stuff happening, its hardly a stereotype.

I don't know if that's an unpopular opinion, but I'll follow it up. I like Oberyn; cool guy - but I despise the Sand Snakes. They do nothing for me. Doran, on the other hand, is one of the most interesting characters. He seems to either geniuinely want peace and quiet, or beats even the likes of Baelish/Varys/Illyrio/Tywin in terms of being calculating and patient. I really like the 'grand Martell scheme' with him at the head of it.

I agree. They seemed way too close just to be twins. I feel like there was something between them, especially when reinforced with Ramsay saying, ''just like the Queen and her brother. Well, not exactly like them.''
Even if I'm enjoying it, I find Gared's story the most boring one.
There's something in Beskha that I don't trust. I'd choose Malcolm over her thousand times.
Daenerys was my favourite character until Daario showed up, then she became an egocentric teen in love who makes stupid decisions. I still like her, but I dislike Daario. (Jorah all the way).
I don't think Stannis should sit on the Throne because Melisandre's got too much influence on him. And also 'cause I liked Renly
Robb didn't deserve to die but, hey... he should've expected that.
I like Sansa's storyline.
I don't really care about Dorne and the Martells, with the exception of Oberyn.
You see, I can't get behind that. If Doran is such a clever guy, then why did he send Oberyn, his hot blooded younger brother who lost his beloved sister, niece, and nephew and wanted revenge like nothing else, to King's Landing? Did he not know that nothing good could possibly have come from that arrangement? I doubt he planned for it to go down the way it did, either. Even Baelish can't think of everything.
And why did he send Quentyn on that trip? Yes, Quentyn definitiely took most of the blame there (what the hell was he thinking?) but Doran should've been a bit more careful there.
And then he sends Nymeria to King's Landing to act as some sort of emissary? After what happened with Oberyn? This certainly will be fun.
Even his original plan for Tywin to see his legacy crumble before him failed. Everything Doran has tried to do has failed in some way. And that trait passes off to his family. Oberyn, cool as he was, fell victim to his own vengeance. Arianne made stupid mistake after stupid mistake and got her lover killed. Quentyn, well, we know what happened there. It doesn't even seem like Doran's learned anything yet. There seems to be at least some expectation that the Martells will come out better than ever when all is said and done, but I certainly don't see it given how things are going.

Comments
I lost a good bit of respect for Jamie when he told Bronn "I want to die in the arms of the woman I love(Cersei)."
How is the show not painful to watch if you hate Tyrion, Dany, AND Jaime?
I thought Episode 3 was a fairly weak episode overall.
I also really enjoyed A Feast for Crows.
I find Ironrath to be a very unrealistic hold, it almost feels like a poor medieval imitation of a modern cabin-mansion. Most Medieval and Westerosi garrisons should have at least 100 men, even if most of the Forrester Host was killed at The Twins.
Well Royland did state that a lot of men just left after Ethan's death, so I figure Ironrath did have around 60-70 men even after the Red Wedding.
I like Jon Snow.
Got to love Baelish... the magnificent bastard.
Even worse, he forced someone else to suffer his fate by marring one of the girls, and the guy actually ended up really enjoying the girls company, he really missed out and almost his whole family killed because of it, the damn fool!
Meh.
Agreed.
Yeah, and Joeffry was a saint, Ned Stark was dishonorable and The Mountain loves ponies and flowers.
At least somebody agrees with me.
Besides Rodrick, he's the only other character I enjoy playing as.
If it wasn't for the Sansa overpaint, she would be.
Hodor.
She is duller then a broken pencil, she has no boobs and her only redeeming factor ARE those dragons.
Can't spell Pimp without the Imp.
Thank you The Mountain Clegane for that.
Agreed. They didn't really think things through very well.
I hate Stannis, love Dany, Littlefinger is one of my favorite characters, the new Daario is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than the old Daario.
I agree with this one, anyway. More charismatic and hotter. Can't go wrong. :S
When I saw "Checking for DLC"

I think you mispelled Hodor
Telltale is breaking my heart for adding good-looking men who turns out to be bad guys and they end up dying.
Damien is an example.
Hell yeah. Feast was one of the best in the series.

I ship Asher X Rodrick i_i (i know its wierd but i do)
It's really a funny stereotype since none of us know how ASOIAF will actually end.
._.
I partly agree partly disagree with your post, but you get a +1 for being a Varys fan
Conleth Hill is perfect for him, I could watch his sorrowful frown all day.
Still better than Rhyona tho...
No, not really. Asher and Rodrik are brothers for Christ's sake.
XD im so sorry ... i should never posted this XD But btw this is GoT is not that rare...
George RR Martin has said that one fan has predicted the ending already.
I ship Ethan (I'm talking about fanfiction type stories) and Talia because they're not real people so I don't see anything wrong with it.
The incest thing with Jaime and Cersei never really bothered me.
They're not real people.
Don't worry, I ship Ethan and Talia, that certainly isn't popular. They're not real people, and incest doesn't really bother me.
I was starting to think that i was a wierdo with an awfull mind...

I'm curious, why would you hate Ethan?

I agree. They seemed way too close just to be twins. I feel like there was something between them, especially when reinforced with Ramsay saying, ''just like the Queen and her brother. Well, not exactly like them.''
Am I the only person that is interested in SHOW Dorne Storyline?
