Stonehearted Snake Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I saw a similar thread in the ASOIAF book forum and thought maybe I would start one here, to try to get a little more positivity happening (I just cannot read about "that scene" anymore!). My favorite minor character in this season so far is Qyburn. Anton Lesser is perfect. He captures all the creepiness while still seeming strangely grandfatherly. His smile when Pycelle freaked out when he took his seat at the Small Council table was priceless. And his delivery of the "It doesn't matter" line to the High Septon is one of the funniest moments to me this season. In Season 1, my favorite was the Great Jon. I loved his snarling "YOUR MEAT..." and then his laughing "...is bloody tough!". I have to think some more about the other seasons... (First time submitting a topic here woo!)

sonsastronk Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I used to like Arya quite a bit. She's a minor character, right? Other than her.....Hot Pie. He was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanmaodao Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 All the characters who show that there's still some decency in that world. Shireen, Tri-Pod, the Reeds, Grenn Giantsbane, Hot Pie (after his awkward bully phase), Syrio Forel (times two), Rakharo (who would smoke Nym in whip-to-whip combat), Gilly (who's not as exciting as everyone else on this list, but at least she now knows 'S'; I don't include Sam because he's not minor)... the depravity of the world makes them shine out by comparison. I generally don't like villainous characters and don't like people who always find them awesome, but the Legend of Gin Alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehearted Snake Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I generally don't like villainous characters and don't like people who always find them awesome, but the Legend of Gin Alley. I forgot about Karl Tanner!! I agree about villainous characters, mostly because they are pretty one-note. And he probably was too but he was so much fun to watch! It would have worn thin if he was on any longer but he was perfect in the few episodes he was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hmmm, let's see. Olly and the Sand Snakes.Kidding! I'm digging Qyburn, Shireen, and Hizdahr. I also like Myranda, psycho as she is. Oh, and Mr. Eko /Adibisi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctid1977 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The best minor character so far for me is Walder Frey! He basically stole every scene he was in and there weren't many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehearted Snake Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 The best minor character so far for me is Walder Frey! He basically stole every scene he was in and there weren't many. Oh how could I forget him!! Our first introduction to him was priceless - all rubbing on his new young bride and then sloppily kissing Catelyn's hand. And his delivery of "I'll find another," is a classic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zordrath Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 My favorite throughout the seasons has to be Syrio Forel. Didn't look at all how I pictured him from the books, but he was just utterly fantastic. More recently, Shireen has been a star in every scene she's been in. They really have a knack for casting child actors, Kerry Ingram rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't read the books yet then so didn't have anything else to compare him to in my head but I loved all of his mannerisms and just his general interactions with Arya. I'll admit it - I'm someone who is hoping against hope that Jaqen = Syrio is true. The kids are all incredible. Like, has there been even one bad kid (actor not character, of course!) on the show?

Mindwalker Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm trying to find a better place to post this, but as Loras is one of my favorite tertiary characters, this is from Finn Jones on twitter: Finn Jones @FinnJones 20. Mai I know many of u are dying to ask me questions about season 5.. I'll be around for a @GameOfThrones twitter Q&A on the 22nd @ 2.30PM ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rat Kook Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't know if all these characters fit the definition of "minor", but whatevs I'll just go ahead and say Qyburn, Podrick, Salladhor Saan, Gilly, Shireen, Dolorous Edd, Alliser Thorne, Maester Aemon and Tycho Naharis. Regardless of whether they're actually tertiary/secondary characters, you'll notice most of them are from the Wall plot. That's why I think it's one of the TV show's strongest storylines; because I care about its supporting cast way more than the other place's.

Lerxst Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Am I the only one who likes Seaworth? He's the perfect opposite of Stannis but plays his role well. You also get the sense that he's a truly caring person and actually does the right thing... when permitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxst Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 He's not exactly a minor character though Well, it's hard to tell when he gets 4 minutes of screen time per season... he's no Tyrion though, so I just figured he counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
