King's Ruin Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Why would you add in the animals and CGI-beasts? His starting question is "how big is the cast exactly".Ha, tell that to the programmers who spend hundreds of hours making those dragons look real! Tell that to the sound engineers who gave them a voice! Tell that to the trainers who bred those wolves and raised them from pups to be big stars one day!I think it's a fair enough tally to add to the list, especially as these dragons are named dragons that certainly have unique personalities and emotional ties with other characters. Certainly, the direwolves deserve to be characters too, as they incite as much emotion in some viewers as many a human actor does. I was proper gutted whenI read about what happened to Grey Wind and how they 'sewed his head onto Robb's headless body' and when Drogon flew off with Daenarys wasn't it a terrifying moment of 'will it eat her or will it help her???'Those wolves will be trained and those programmers / sound engineers do as much work as any of the actors. Besides, the question was NOT 'how big is the CAST exactly' if you look at the title of the posting it's 'full list of got CHARACTERS' so boo to you, ser! I think it's a pretty amazing effort by the Blackfyre even if he did miss Tywin initially (doh!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticWeirwood Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Actually, according to the HBO Viewer Guide, she is Cersei Lannister, not Cersei Baratheon. In fact, nothing anywhere ever refers to her as anything but a Lannister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a pretty amazing effort by the Blackfyre even if he did miss Tywin initially (doh!)I didn't include any CGI characters because, like I said in the first post, I decided to include only characters portrayed by human actors. I had to establish some kind of rules, or else it would be very difficult to make this list. The title of this post is misleading but I explain everything in the first paragraphs.And I'm sorry about Tywin! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, nothing anywhere ever refers to her as anything but a Lannister.My opinion is that she is known by Cersei Lannister just because of her family's extreme pride.She married a Baratheon; so, she got that name, right? Catlyn Tully became Catelyn Stark, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tommen Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 You probably haven't gotten around to updating yet after the finale but one thing you will be able to do is list all the Iron Islanders who were at Winterfell (Dagmer, Lorren etc) as deceased since Ramsay's letter to Balon confirmed this long-suspected development.

RenlyTheOneTrueKing Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's insane. Though I would vote for including the extras. Go Cheese Boy!And you may include the Dragons, Kittens and Direwolves as well. I'd argue that Ghost for example is a character.Btw. for those interested, there's a quiz on sporcle of the 300 most named characters in the books. You're a real GoT / ASoIaF nerd if you can solve that one! LinkGot 120! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frumpus Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Your list includes characters that are mentioned but not actually seen, not even in the background. Their presence is only implied. i.e. Balon Swann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Blackfyre Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Áccording to the Game of Thrones Wiki, an extra supposedly appeared as Balon Swann in 2 episodes: "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" and "Second Sons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 - Sansa Lannister (25 episodes) Who is that? No such person exists in the show or in the books. - Cersei Baratheon (28 episodes) And who is that? There is no character referred to by that name, either. Also, you forgot to mention Sansa Stark and Cersei Lannister, which really surprises me. Those are major characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My opinion is that she is known by Cersei Lannister just because of her family's extreme pride.She married a Baratheon; so, she got that name, right? Catlyn Tully became Catelyn Stark, for instance. She's known as Lannister because noblewomen in Westeros don't change their names. At least it doesn't seem so from the available evidence, Catelyn is still referred to as Catelyn Tully as many times as she referred to as Catelyn Stark, at least in the books. (The show may be trying to keep it stupid simple). But Catelyn actually does self-identify as both a Stark and a Tully, and others identify her as a part of both of these houses. Lysa is indeed often referred to as Lysa Arryn. However, Cersei is always Cersei Lannister, Margaery is always Margaery Tyrell, and Sansa is always* Sansa Stark (and don't get me started on all the reasons why she will never be a "Lannister", even the Lannisters aren't trying to pretend that her forced marriage makes her one). * Or almost always; the only people who ever call Sansa "Lady Lannister" - in-universe or in fandom - are trolls (in the book,only one character does it and he does it specifically in order to dismiss her claim to Winterfell, and in the fandom, it's also done extremely rarely and always by those who are trying to provoke Sansa fans). You're right. She isn't a Baratheon yet. Margaery isn't a Baratheon, period. But going by your erroneous logic, she is already, as much as Cersei is (not) a Baratheon. She is Renly's widow;s remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Blackfyre Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Wow, you're a really nice person. Was that the nicest way of saying that you don't agree with how I referred to Sansa, Margaery and Cersei? Well done. And your irony skills are outstanding!

Paul Blackfyre Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 "Most women outside of Dorne take the names of their husbands, although not in all cases. If a woman is of higher birth or station than her husband, for example, she may use his name little, if at all." - Wiki of Ice and Fire Referring to Sansa as Sansa Lannister, Cersei as Cersei Baratheon and Margaery as Margaery Baratheon is not as incorrect as you are saying it is.

It is incorrect since nobody ever does that canonically, except in the exception I mentioned (a certain character being a dick and calling Sansa "Lady Lannister" as a way to dismiss her claim to Winterfell). When people call Sansa "Sansa Lannister" in the Generall book thread, which happens once in 1000 times, it's always seen as trolling and provocative. So, yes, I think I was being nice, considering.

Supposedly being the keyword. Remember, anyone can edit this wiki. I am guessing whoever made that update assumed that Balon Swann had joined the kingsguard when he has not yet in show canon. Also Annara, you are being an uptight book purist. This thread is about the tv show, not the books. What the HBO Guide says is what is canon in tv show land. If you don't like it, take it up with D&D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
