zmflavius Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Like the title says, what is your overall opinion of the High Sparrow? Like him, hate him, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persepolis Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I dislike him. I think he's a major nutcase. On the other hand, i love that he kicks Cersei's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 He is the most dangerous man in KIngdoms. As relligious fanatic, he can gather enough man to threat all the pretenders, and wht he did to Cersei wasn`t justice, it was display of power, and sending a straight message `If I can do this to Queen Regent, imagine what I could do to you`. In time of war, poverty and despair, fanaticism gets great support and that`s why he will be force to be reckon with in future books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Weirwoods Eyes Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 He's very dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dornishman's Wife Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm ambivalent about him. His strong stance against corruption and extravagance is admirable, his concern with the common people and willingness to focus on the victims instead of the victors makes him likable. But his ambition to make the Faith into a military power is highly dangerous, his misogynism a turnoff, his fanaticism a dealbreaker.A very interesting character. I'm glad he's in the books and I'm also glad he won't survive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winters Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I find him really annoying and dislike him. But I did like the fact he imprisoned Cersei and made her do the walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yolkboy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 A very interesting character. I'm glad he's in the books and I'm also glad he won't survive them.Yes, i can't see far past Ser Robert Strong in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scipio Africanus Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 A dangerous man who will on the short term cause the downfall of both the Lannisters and the Tyrells, at least in KL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootie Tang Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 He is a fanatic. Just as Melisandre, the world view of this character is black and white with no nuances. In the position he is in, he indeed is very dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persepolis Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Why? It`s not like that walk was about her actual crimes.True. But if you hate somebody you just like to see them suffer, not matter if justified or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I liked seeing her helpless for once.True. But if you hate somebody you just like to see them suffer, not matter if justified or not.I had no pleasure in that walk, no more than I have pleasure in seeing Jaime`s hand chopped off, or Theon being tortured. Every attrocity in my opinion should be justified. This simply wasn`t. He made her walk the penance walk, because he wanted to show power not to be just.

Fat Mac Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well, he seems to treat people equally, regardless of nobility. This is a distinct change from the First High Septon we see, who is corrupt. But other than that, I don't like his religious fanaticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lymond Lychester Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 He is the most dangerous man in KIngdoms.

In time of war, poverty and despair, fanaticism gets great support and that`s why he will be force to be reckon with in future books.Not only that but he took control over the faith by force, making the Most Devout choose him through fear and intimidation. He then restores the Faith Militant, with the approval of Cersei, after the Targaryen's worked so hard to abolish it. It may seem weird, but I get a Religious Tywin sort of feel from him.I'm very interested in who he might have been or where he came from before claiming the name the High Sparrow and devoting his life to the Seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cersei is the person in the bools that i hate the most, by a long shot.I agree with Jaime and Theon, but I just can't find myself feeling pity for Cersei.I hated Joffrey and Tywin, and I found small joy in their killings. I hate Ramsay, Roose and Walder, and I want them dead, but I want them to know the reason of their fall, that someone at the end says them: `North remembers`. I want Sansa to beat LF. I can hate, but I want them to pay for the reasons they wronged others, not because of some random coincedence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Africanus Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I agree with Jaime and Theon, but I just can't find myself feeling pity for Cersei.Poster Queen Cercei I would've given you a good licking for being mysogynistic. ;)While I certainly have a negative opinion about Cercei it probably isn't right to cheer that she got slapped by Bobby B or her skinny dippin' adventure at the KL docks.I personally want to see her answer for the crimes she commited and sentenced accordingly.
