Let's go by the books. So spoilers to those who haven't read them.
Arya is a badass assassin. She still has a lot to learn, but she is good. She's also somewhat of a deranged psychopath hell-bent on revenge.
Sansa is with Littlefinger. All she has actually done herself is help him be clear of suspicion on her aunts murder.
Rob is dead.
Bran is... different. He He's a powerful warg and can see things through the weirwood threes, and during his trip north he prowed that he could take on hard times. He is still crippled though, so atm he is fairly useless. Arya's only competition but still falls short.
Rickon is pretty much non-existent.
Not counting Jon, since he's a snow (or other, depending on which theory you subscribe to). Otherwise he'd win nine times out of ten.
Right. Training to be a good. Sansa is training to be a queen/manipulative genius. Doesn't make either of them more than they are. So far greenseeing have done little and less. It brought Brand north. I get that it will probably provide the key to defeating the others and can be used for amazing stuff (if the tales of the children's feats are accurate) but so far Bran hasn't done any of that, and until he does, he remains semi-irrelevant.
Arya killed several people before she went to Bravos. There she killed two people already (though one was not on a "mission", and if you read "Mercy", the chapter from the next book you'll know she kills another guy there. You're in denial if you think all she has done is clean and learn about disguising herself.
But it is done well! She slips a poisoned coin among a bunch of others to kill a guy with the habit of biting coins to check that they're real. She lures a guy away from a theater pretending to be a whore (disturbing as that is, she's what, 11?), kills him and gets back to the play without anyone knowing.
You keep trying to play down what Arya has done, yet your argument for Bran is what he can do in the future. In the present (as in, what we have read so far), there is no doubt Arya has accomplished the most. When Bran starts getting his magic powers going we can try again.
I'm going for a walk now, but I'll be back in a couple of hours if you'd like to continue the discussion.
Yeah, sorry, Cat not Cait. I don't really think LS have shown a lot of Stark. As of now we don't really know much about her, how she has changed and the like. All we know is she likes to hang people.
She didn't start to become even a little likable till she gained the whole victim status. Every other Stark was cool from the start. Except I guess Rickon, he was just too little.
Even after she gained victim status, she was ******* retarded. I hate her stupid blank stare.
I do feel like I'm going to like her better now that Baelish has gotten to her. Either way, she's been more useless than Arya up until now. At least Arya is learning to be a killer in a world of killers rather than a victim.
in the books, she is almost as unlikable as joff to start of with.
malicious and ignorant are equally **** traits to have.
joff improves by dying and sansa improves by
Whoawhoawhoa, calm down there. Just a joke, adding on to a previous joke, that had no serious meaning whatsoever. And yes I've seen the last season, yes she's gotten better, no i don't like the creepy stares she and Baelish give each other, yes she is no longer useless, yes this is still a joke.
Theoretical spoiler. Rhaegar Targaryen (Danys oldest brother) and Lyanna Stark ( Ned Starks sister) might be Jon Snows real parents. So techically he could be a Stark. Another less known theory is that Catelyn had an incestious realtionship with Edmure Tully and so all the Stark children aren't legitimate. Meaning Jon Snow could be the only Stark.
Catelyn one is really unbelievable. No proof whatsoever, I kinda feel thats just the Jon fan club, like the ice dragoon beyond the wall theory. And in Jon is Rhaeger's son, that would make him a bastard of house targaryen, as he would take his fathers name. And he can't even take either name, as neither house is in much position to be legitimising him.
But Robb did actually legitimise Jon, and name him his heir. Of course the only proof of that is currently with Howland Reed
minor spoiler about jon becoming a stark Stannis offers jon to make him a stark (with his king-powers) and make him the ruler of winterfell.
bigger spoiler he don't get to chose, since he is elected lord commander of the night's watch
Those were both very predictable, so I'm not mad. Am I the only one who gets excited to see how the stories play out rather than be mad when something gets spoiled? I guess it depends on what it is that's being spoiled. I'd be pissed if someone told me when and how Tyrion dies, for example.
posting spoilers in spoiler tags aren't about making people mad. it's just about discussing the show/books, WITHOUT making people mad. thanks for notifying me that i used spoiler tags correctly.
tyrion dies by the hand of
technically, jon did get to choose. At least in the books, havent gotten that far in the tv show yet. But in the books it has him being really conflicted over it, until he sees ghost and decides to reject stannis about becoming lord stark.
