TV Characters We Love & Hate

poll

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time. Be sure to vote for your favorites, and if some of your favorite popular characters aren't represented, go ahead and re-rank the list to contribute to the discussion.

Game of Thrones Awards

This list of the best, most interesting characters from HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;series has been voted on by tens of thousands of GoT fans. Though the complicated study of power dynamics in the fantasy kingdom of Westeros may not have too many identifiable or even sympathetic lead characters, it has nonetheless produced a wide variety of compelling, entertaining and outsized personalities, from the brutal boy king Joffrey Baratheon to his diminutive but ingenious cousin Tyrion Lannister to their rivals, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-members-of-house-stark/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Stark family</a> of Winterfell and the &quot;Mother of Dragons,&quot; Daenerys Targaryen. But which characters are the true fan favorites, providing the most memorable moments and unexpected plot twists? While it&#39;s inevitably that a certain Bolton is likely to get heavily downvoted based on the true evilness of his character, hopefully some of the more nuanced &quot;not purely evil&quot; characters will maintain high rankings based on the opinion of true fans (like yourself, dear reader!).&nbsp;

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;show is based on the Song of Ice and Fire&nbsp;cycle of novels by fantasy author George R. R. Martin.&nbsp;Martin has said that the series was partially based on the real &quot;War of the Roses&quot; that engulfed England in civil war in the 15th Century. Those conflicts concerned a rivalry between the houses of Lancaster and York, whose names clearly provided inspiration for the rival families of Lannister and Stark in the GoT universe. While this list is focused on characters from the TV series, voters who have both seen the show and read the books will probably vote somewhat differently given the additional nuance they will bring to their opinion of this unique ranking. This list ranks every major Game of Thrones character from best to worst, and given how many fans have voted on it, it&#39;s the definitive ranking of GoT&nbsp;fan favorites

We all like to fantasize and daydream about our favorite <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-characters-you-would-leave-your-woman-for/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hot fictional characters</a>. Maybe you've struck some kind of a deal with your romantic partner - if Sam and Dean Winchester come to life, you're allowed a hall pass for the weekend. Or maybe you keep your passionate devotion to Fox Mulder or Han Solo on the down low. Whatever the case, it's fun to imagine what it would be like to spend time with one of these handsome fictional men. Categorizing them can be tricky, because some of these sexy, fictional dudes come with a lot of baggage. For example, we all know how sexy Christian Grey and Edward Cullen are, but would you REALLY want to deal with all of their weird emotional issues? Could you look past Loki's mischievous ways and look only to his righteous abs? Would Tony Stark's good looks be enough to drown out his extreme narcissism? These are the questions you'll have to answer as you pour over this list of fictional characters you'd leave your man for. How do your hot fictional characters skew? Are you more about the good guys, like Thor and Elliot Stabler, or do the bad boys get your blood flowing, like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Or are you interested in just the right mix of Stiles, Sherlock Holmes, and Magic Mike? However your list stacks up, have fun picking and choosing the fictional characters you'd leave your man for. A little crush on someone you could never actually get with is completely healthy and normal. Vote up the hottest fictional male characters, and be sure to add any to the list that we may have forgotten!

While many of the characters on HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones had important things to say during their time on the show, some of the words uttered at the end of their lives hold the most sway. Many of Game of Thrones characters&#39;s famous last words might be surprising, but most are pretty telling as their final words were often spoken moments before death.

Granted, some of the last words spoken by GoT characters were said long before they died on screen, they stand as a lasting reminder of the people who make up this incredible world. This list highlights the main characters from the series who have died, but characters who were resurrected won&#39;t be featured, so don&#39;t expect to hear the final lines from the Lord Commander just yet on this list.

The Most Memorable Final Words From "Game of Thrones" Characters

Ranker of Thrones

Game of Thrones&nbsp;fans knew it wasn&#39;t wise to become too attached to their favorite characters. Over the course of the hit HBO show based on George R.R. Martin&#39;s A Song of Ice and Fire book series of books, Game of Thrones proved&nbsp;time and time again that major characters could shockingly be dispatched without much warning. Fortunately, the many Game of Thrones deaths lead to some excellent, and occasionally poignant, Game of Thrones quotes, as GoT characters utter their last words.

Before a character shuffles off this mortal coil (or do they?!?!?), sometimes he or she says something profound, silly, inspiring, desperate, or tragic. Do you remember what Joffrey&#39;s last words were before he choked on poison? What about Robb Stark&#39;s last utterance? Or how about Tywin Lannister&#39;s last words to his son, Tyrion, who he accused of murdering Joffrey?

Scroll through some of the most memorable deaths in Game of Thrones history and reread the characters&#39; final words. Which parting phrases do you think are the most memorable, telling, and worthy of being last words?

It&rsquo;s always wise to remember that the journey is just as important as the destination&mdash;a lesson especially pertinent to fans during the&nbsp;final season of Game of Thrones.

The most hated Game of Thrones characters are despised for a number of reasons. Some were responsible for the death of a fan-<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters">favorite GoT character</a> or two. Others torture prostitutes instead of just sleeping with them like normal boys. Others retreat from attacks on the city while sending the common folk into battle. Wait, those people are all Joffrey Baratheon.&nbsp;

As it turns out, however, Joffrey is not the only detestable GoT character (go fig), but is joined by multiple <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-members-of-house-lannister/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">members of his family</a> as well as a slew of other morally flexible citizens of the realm of Westeros. Whether they murder, lie, cheat, steal, or all of the above, there are plenty of people to hate in a series that regularly kills off fan favorite characters (and imprisons, rapes, and slanders others).

Anyone who has read the books or watched HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;knows Cersei Lannister is a truly evil woman. Granted, everything she does is for a reason, and she probably doesn&#39;t see her actions as being evil, but to everyone else who suffered at her hands over the years, it&#39;s hard to argue she isn&#39;t a cruel psychopath. As such, she is one of the show&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-hated-game-of-thrones-characters/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">most hated characters</a>, but due to her brilliant portrayal by Lena Headey, fans also love watching her.

Of the many acts that define Cersei as a truly evil character, some stand out as her worst moments. Since she managed to survive from the pilot episode into the eighth and final season, there&#39;s a lot to go through. She&#39;s done some horrific things throughout her time in Westeros in her quest for <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>.

What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

Romance

As in real life, TV&nbsp;romance is hardly perfect. But some small-screen&nbsp;relationships seem especially mismatched, and&nbsp;TV characters who deserve better partners remain fodder for endless debate.&nbsp;The&nbsp;best television characters are flawed, just like real people, which makes them both believable and lovable. So, naturally, their relationships tend to be imperfect, too.

But&nbsp;some of these&nbsp;TV characters&#39; respective partners are just plain jerks -&nbsp;or unfaithful, or&nbsp;unworthy in some way, or someone&#39;s high school teacher (Ezra, you know who you are). Whatever the reason, the fan favorites on this list could certainly do better.

Beloved TV shows from the past and present feature&nbsp;love interests with terrible partners.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-characters-with-wrong-person/alex-welch" target="_blank">Which mismatched TV couple</a> riles you the most?

Nothing beats a good <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-character-arcs/stephanroget?ref=search" target="_blank">character arc</a>,&nbsp;when heroes overcome&nbsp;the lies they&#39;ve believed and change&nbsp;irreversibly. Character development is the cornerstone of any good television series, and&nbsp;there&#39;s particular satisfaction in the arc of a villain turned ally. Who doesn&rsquo;t love watching someone become better?

Rather than villains who are introduced only to become <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-villains-turned-superheroes/coy-jandreau" target="_blank">superheroes</a> or sporadic allies, let&rsquo;s look at characters who were introduced as antagonists, only to somehow become a beloved member of their series&rsquo; inner circle. We&rsquo;re talking Cordelia in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-144-buffy-episodes-as-ranked-by-fans/tvs-frank" target="_blank">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>&nbsp;or Vegeta from <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dragon-ball-z-mashups/stephanroget" target="_blank">Dragon Ball Z</a>: characters we truly hated when we met them, but who arguably end up more likable than the flagship hero (especially Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super).&nbsp;

So, take a trip down this list and decide for yourself which inadvertent rehabilitation was the most successful. Walter White&nbsp;breaks bad;&nbsp;these characters break good. (Be warned: Spoilers abound, so tread lightly on shows you haven&#39;t watched yet.)

Since 1972, the Home Box Office has been bringing premium motion pictures right into your living room. Today, it makes some of the highest quality original series on TV.

It's Not TV. It's HBO Max.

HBO has put out some of the most innovative and character-rich original series ever. These here, well they&#39;re the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-hbo-original-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">HBO Original Series</a> characters ever. HBO shows are character-rich in the sense that HBO actually has the means to let their characters be interesting, and flawed, and heroic, and shameful, and deadly, and helpful because they are a paid super DELUXE channel service thing and they don&#39;t have to worry about advertisers. That&#39;s showbiz, folks!

Anyway, thankfully HBO is HBO. Without it we wouldn&#39;t have Tony Soprano, or Tyrion Lannister. We wouldn&#39;t have Stringer Bell. Stringer Bell, you guys! You think Stringer Bell could be Stringer Bell on ABC? Don&#39;t think so. With every new show HBO releases come great new characters, like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-euphoria-characters/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Fezco and Rue from Euphoria</a> or the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-succession-characters/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Roy family in Succession</a>.

Deconstructing the final season of Game of Thrones—how it played out, what we all missed, and what could have been. 

Season 8: The End of an Epic

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Few&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;episodes have been as consequential as &quot;The Long Night,&quot; AKA the Battle of Winterfell, as a victor was finally declared in the long-brewing&nbsp;war between the living and the dead. It was one of the most highly anticipated episodes in the show&#39;s&nbsp;history, and its consequences rippled&nbsp;all the way to the end of the saga three episodes later. The dust has since settled, so it&#39;s worthwhile to reflect back on the dark, decisive battle&nbsp;to see how some of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters" target="_blank">best Game of Thrones characters</a>&nbsp;fared against <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/white-walker-fan-theories/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the White Walkers</a>.&nbsp;A massive cast of GoT favorites showed up in the Battle of Winterfell, but only one can hold the title of MVP. Who was most integral to protecting Winterfell? Who&nbsp;played the biggest role in the ultimate victory against death itself? And which&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-deaths/devon-ashby" target="_blank">Game of Thrones deaths</a>&nbsp;will be remembered among the series&#39; all-time best?

Another key battle is on the way on Game Of Thrones. While Cersei has a bigger army, she&#39;s sparked a level of rage in her enemies beyond anything we&#39;ve seen before, perhaps ensuring the &quot;Last War&quot; for the throne will be even more devastating than the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/got-battle-of-winterfell-mvp/christopher-shultz" target="_blank">battle for Winterfell</a>. But who among the forces of good will emerge as the most valuable player in the battle of King&#39;s Landing? Who among Daenerys&#39;s army will strike the most devastating blows? And who will take out <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cersei-downfall-theory-game-of-thrones/stephanroget" target="_blank">Cersei</a> herself - if not someone from Daenerys and Jon&#39;s alliance, then perhaps one of&nbsp;her supposedly loyal allies?&nbsp;

Who Will Be The MVP Of The Battle Of King's Landing?

The first two episodes of the final season of&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;have been suspiciously calm. No <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dead-game-of-thrones-characters-we-miss/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">characters have died</a>, and most interactions have been sweet, surprising, or a mix of both - looking at you, Arya and Gendry.&nbsp;

Still, a sense of doom has lingered over even the most heartwarming of scenes. When we see a character&#39;s arc complete - like when Jaime knighted <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-brienne-of-tarth-quotes/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Brienne of Tarth</a> - we know that the character&#39;s demise cannot be too far behind. The creators behind&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/foreshadowing-in-game-of-thrones/zack-howe" target="_blank">not ones to leave loose ends</a>, and there have been clues as to who will bite the dust as they battle the Night King.&nbsp;

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Iron Throne</a> may be what everyone in Westeros is vying for, but there are definitely other - and perhaps better - seating&nbsp;options to fight over&nbsp;in Game of Thrones&#39;s final season. With the final battle approaching, it seems that somebody aside from Dany -&nbsp;or the Night King if you count his now-zombified dragon, Viserion -&nbsp;should hop up on a dragon.

Despite the show&#39;s penchant for a grisly demise, there are still plenty of characters left that could take the reins of Drogon or Rhaegal. And take note: this is not somebody riding a dragon with Daenerys&nbsp;behind the wheel, this is a person doing the actual flying.

Vote up the characters you think have the best shot at flying a dragon in the show&#39;s final episodes.

Who Will Fly A Dragon In Season 8 Of 'Game Of Thrones'?

For eight seasons, we all wondered who would&nbsp;end up with their buttcheeks on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a> as the rightful&nbsp;ruler of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/aquaman-what-are-the-seven-kingdoms/jonathan-kantor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Seven Kingdoms</a> on&nbsp;Game of Thrones.&nbsp;Way<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fan-theories-about-the-night-king/carly-silver" target="_blank"> back in Season 1</a>,&nbsp;Cersei Lannister told Ned Stark, &quot;When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die,&quot; and the subsequent liberation of Ned&#39;s head from his cumbersome body proved how right she was. After that, Cersei&nbsp;spent her fair share of time on the most coveted seat in Westeros, succeeding her husband Robert Baratheon, her demonic spawn&nbsp;Joffrey, and, of course, dear sweet Tommen.

None of them could hold on to power, though, so it wasn&#39;t a surprise when&nbsp;Cersei&#39;s reign didn&#39;t continue unabated. Dany briefly returned a Targaryen to the seat of power, but Jon Snow remained very &quot;Jon Snow&quot; and murdered his lover before she could harm any more innocents.&nbsp;

While the Iron Throne itself is gone (thanks to an angry&nbsp;Drogon) Bran Stark ended up Westeros&#39;s rightful ruler. As Tyrion said, stories unite people, and to Tyrion,&nbsp;no one&#39;s story was as powerful as Bran the Broken&#39;s. Jon&nbsp;made his way back to the Night Watch, Arya Stark went to discover what was west of Westereos,&nbsp;and Sansa Stark served as the Queen of the newly independent North.&nbsp;

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Since her debut in Season 2 of Game of Thrones, Brienne of Tarth has been considered a side character at best.&nbsp;But over the course of the series, she won viewers&#39; hearts and became an unambiguous&nbsp;fan favorite. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-badass-ladies-from-game-of-thrones/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">Brienne&rsquo;s role as a figure of female empowerment</a>&mdash;and one of the best swordfighters in all of Westeros&mdash;have been widely acknowledged, but less-discussed is the central role she&rsquo;s played in the series&rsquo; plot.&nbsp;

Brienne has been around for some of the most pivotal moments in recent Westerosi history, including the Dragonpit summit and the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-3-recap/jacob-bryant" target="_blank">Battle of Winterfell</a>, but her impact on the overall plot of A Song of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/george-r-r-martins-original-ending-to-game-of-thrones/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Ice and Fire</a> run much deeper than that. Brienne hasn&rsquo;t just interacted with most of the characters left standing for the final season of Game of Thrones&mdash;she&rsquo;s directly responsible for many of them still being alive.

When reading the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-book-vs-show-differences/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Game of Thrones books</a>, you can imagine just how hot these characters are. When watching the TV show, you've got the proof right in front of your eyes. Even if you're happily married, or in a stable relationship, if these guys were real... you just might be out the door.The characters on this list are lust worthy for a variety of reasons. Some, like Drogo and Daario are just plain hot. Jon Snow is a &quot;proper lover.&quot; The Hound's hotness stems from his mad survival skills and aloofness (who doesn't love a chase?). A few characters on this list (Jaime, we're looking at you) are lacking in the personality and decency departments, but come with all sorts of royalty related perks (and some really good genes).No matter how much you love your husband or boyfriend, there are sure to be at least a few GoT characters you'd drop him for in a second. The men of Westeros and Essos are just too irresistible.&nbsp;Vote up the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dead-game-of-thrones-characters-we-miss/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Game of Thrones characters</a> you would absolutely leave your man for, if, you know, these guys were real.

Game of Thrones Characters You Would Leave Your Husband For

Everyone who bore witness to the Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones&nbsp;walked away with at least one, indelible impression:&nbsp;the Mother of Dragons and the King in the North hooked up! The episode was long and packed with action and info, wrapping up many lingering questions from the season/show and asking many more.&nbsp;Still, who would have thought anything could overshadow a&nbsp;zombie ice dragon's blue fire (?) finally destroying&nbsp;the Wall?Cersei and Jaime's brother-sister&nbsp;love affair may be well and truly over. But, when one incestuous relationship ends, another rises from the ashes.&nbsp;Dany and Jon, unaware of their family history,&nbsp;consummated&nbsp;their relationship and are now officially aunt-nephew-lovers.&nbsp;&nbsp;The show's sprawling cast and long list of characters can make&nbsp;it hard to keep tabs on every character arc in Season 7 of Game of Thrones. Let's review and evaluate every character's position&nbsp;at the end of the season&nbsp;while we face&nbsp;the year (or maybe longer) wait until Season 8 premieres.&nbsp;

By now, we&#39;ve all heard the maxim of HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones fandom - &quot;Don&#39;t get attached to anyone, because they&#39;re probably on their way out.&quot; Major character deaths aren&#39;t just common on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-plot-points-you-forgot/michaelgraff" target="_blank">Game of Thrones</a>, they&#39;re integral to the evolution of the story, and the more important a character is, the more important and game-changing their demise is sure to be.

The loss of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters" target="_blank">characters in&nbsp;Game of Thrones</a> has proven to be important&nbsp;to the series.&nbsp;Rising political leaders of Westeros are routinely bumped off to make way for hungrier competitors (or in some cases, just for revenge). In the heat of battle, brave warriors perish senselessly, often without dignity, and almost always without glory. In the world of Game of Thrones, everyone&#39;s head is up for grabs. When asking &quot;who gets axed in Game of Thrones,&quot; the answer might as well be, &quot;everyone.&quot;

All men must die, but first they must grow a beard.&nbsp;The men on this list have the best beards in &quot;Game of Thrones.&quot; Whether he's a Northerner, with a beard to help keep warm, or a royal with carefully groomed facial hair, it seems having a glorious beard is essential to many of the men of &quot;Game of Thrones.&quot;Some of these beards are impressive based on length or fullness. Others are fashioned into ponytails and tied in accordance with the hottest fashion trends of Westeros. Some people, like Little Finger, only went with a soul patch and they are most certainly NOT on this list. A few might be a little on the patchy side, but not everyone can reach Tormund Giantsbane's epic status.Vote up the best beards in &quot;Game of Thrones,&quot; vote down the beards you think just aren't manly enough to truly be the best, and be sure to follow <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/game-of-thrones">Ranker of Thrones</a> for all your &quot;Game of Thrones&quot; wants, needs, and beardy men.

True, it's a small group compared to the dozens-deep cast – Red Weddings and general brutality tend to pick off a lot of people.Some Game of Thrones characters in Season 1 look absurdly young compared to their appearances now. Just look at how much Bran has grown up, or how differently Daenerys carries herself now that she's a confident queen. And that's not to mention Drogon. Those cute little baby dragons didn't stay cute little babies for long.Keep in mind these photos compare characters who were in the first season and have appeared in the seventh. Many of the most popular characters on the show didn't arrive until later seasons, so don't freak out when <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/davos-seaworth-interesting-trivia/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Onion Knight</a> doesn't appear (#TeamDavos).

It turns out that surviving several seasons of betrayal, brutality, and fire-breathing dragons really changes&nbsp;you.

Who is the best, or most interesting, Lannister of the primary members of House Lannister and their loyal household and sworn men?

On the&nbsp;Venn diagram of Game of Thrones and astrology fans, there's probably a little bit of crossover.&nbsp;If you're the kind of fan who&nbsp;has theorized over&nbsp;matching <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters" target="_blank">Game of Thrones characters</a> with zodiac signs and have wondered&nbsp;which one aligns with your planetary personality, then you've come to the right place.

Which Game Of Thrones Character Are You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

One goal of writing&nbsp;television characters is to make them feel as three-dimensional as possible. Just as real people can change and evolve over time, so can TV characters, as we see with these&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-who-were-right/loganrapp" target="_blank">villains</a> turned heroes.&nbsp;

Some were never straight-up bad guys in that evil twisty-mustache way. Most were more in the vein&nbsp;of Stranger Things&#39;&nbsp;Steve Harrington: an unlikable jerk who found his way over to bravely fight the&nbsp;good fight alongside our heroes.&nbsp;

Of course, some were really despicable at first. No one could ever argue that Jamie Lannister&nbsp;from Game of Thrones was not a true villain. Heck, he pushes a little boy out a window in the very first episode. But even the Kingslayer eventually came around and worked hard for redemption.&nbsp;

TV Quotes

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones was one of the biggest shows on television, but it wouldn&#39;t be much of anything were it not for the incredible characters fighting against or alongside one another to sit upon <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>. Looking back over the eight seasons and 70+ episodes, it&#39;s difficult to recall what some of the first words spoken by GoT characters actually were.

A character&#39;s opening line can help to establish who they are in just a short period of time, and while many of the first words spoken by the core cast aren&#39;t all that telling, some of them might surprise you. This list comprises the core characters from the show with their opening lines. When their first uttering was a simple greeting or name, it has been combined with the following sentence, but otherwise, these are the first lines spoken by the main characters on Game of Thrones.

A Song of Ice and Fire

Who has the most chapters in the Game of Thrones books? Each novel in the&nbsp;A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin is written from the point of view of a different character. Tyrion Lannister has the honor of most Game of Thrones chapters, coming in at 49. He&#39;s followed by Jon Snow with 42, and then Arya Stark, who not only has 34 ASoIaF chapters, but holds the distinction of being the only character with at least one POV chapter in every book so far, including a preview chapter from The Winds of Winter.

Some other important statistics to help inform your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-conspiracy-theories/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">Game of Thrones fan theories</a>:

<ul>
	<li>Cersei does not have a chapter at all until the fourth book,&nbsp;A Feast for Crows.</li>
	<li>Davos Seaworth has MORE chapters than Cersei does.</li>
	<li>Bran has the very first chapter of the entire series, which could point to his importance (get your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bran-stark-theories-predictions-trivia/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">Bran theories</a>&nbsp;here).</li>

The Raven has brought you the latest Game of Thrones list and it’s full of SPOILERS!&nbsp;Season six of Game of Thrones sees the evolution of many main characters. After many wars, assassinations, and savagings, our characters are wiser and tougher. If they’re still alive that is. Just about every character has been touched by the events of five seasons, except for maybe Littlefinger. That guy’s teflon.&nbsp;Sansa has gone from puppy love to having a PhD in sadomasochistic matrimony. She’s survived the brutality of Joffrey and Ramsay Bolton and still have to contend with Petyr Baelish’s weird obsession with her. But one thing’s for certain, she’ll never pick up a Westeros Tiger Beat again.&nbsp;Arya was always a tomboy, but she’s graduated to assasin status as she finishes up her training as a Faceless Man and ticks more names off her list. Forget long winters filled with White Walkers, Arya is coming for you, Cersei.&nbsp;Bran has grown up, ready to seer his way through the mysteries of the Seven Kingdoms. He’s a solid sidekick to maester-in-the-making and fellow sleuth Sam. And what of Tyrion? Our wine-swilling, whore-loving Half Man has grown more serious, having secured a spot on Dany’s side of the world. His wisdom is certainly valuable to anyone wishing to sit on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>.From season one of&nbsp;Game of Thrones to season six, who’s had the most dramatic transformation?

Comparing Characters: Season One vs. Season Six

'Game of Thrones' Characters, Season 1 vs. Season 6

Game of Thrones&nbsp;featured one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-scenes-hidden-meanings/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">most intricately woven plots</a>&nbsp;in television history, which means it was easy to get lost amidst the expansive narrative and its far-flung cast of characters. There&#39;s only so many Stark siblings one can reasonably keep track of at a given time.

That breadth never dampened fans&#39; collective enthusiasm - not even during the lengthy intermission between the&nbsp;final two seasons as the series&nbsp;entered its endgame. But for late arrivers and repeat viewers, this should serve as a handy guide for where everyone left off after&nbsp;Game of Thrones&#39; penultimate season, leading directly into its six-episode capstone.
