Winter is Coming

Five days and counting, and Game of Thrones is back!!! It feels like an eternity since the infamous Red Wedding...In the spirit of the start of the new season I thought it would be fun to rehash some of the crazy moments of last season. I thought it would be fun to do a top ten list, so here goes....

10. Walder Frey - Please refrain from ever including him in your wedding plans, he has a history of inviting people to a wedding and murdering them all at the reception. At least he waited till their bellies were full of food and wine

9. Samwell Tarly - He may appear timid, but do not underestimate Sam. He saves babies and women - so he's a pretty cool guy!

8. Theon Greyjoy - No one has pissed me off more then Theon. He completely betrayed Robb Stark by conquering Winterfell, thereby forcing Bran and Rickon into hiding to save their lives. However, despite my dislike for Theon, the Bastard son of Bolton sure knows hows to torture and torment Greyjoy.

7. Melisandre - Now she is one cray cray character. Seducing Gendry (who is a little too young for her), and then putting leeches on him to extract his blood...she's just creepy

6. Oleena Tyrell - She's the feisty Grandmatriach of Margaery and Loras Tyrell. She is not the person to mess with, and she will not bat an eye to put anyone in their proper place.

5. Ygritte - She's foul-mouthed, fierce, and a wildling. And she sure has fallen for Jon Snow...But seriously, who wouldn't! It was a HOT scene, seeing them strip all those layers and furs off, for some real HEAT.

4. Margaery Tyrell - Joffrey's fiancée who knows how to play the game. I think she'll be a force to reckon with in the upcoming season. She doesn't just want to be a queen...she wants to be The Queen. Cersei look out!!!

3. Jaime Lannister - I have to admit despite his good looks, I despised his character in the beginning. But in season 3, we got to see a more endearing side to him, a more human side, we got to hear his story...that was the game changer.  Too bad the Kingslayer had to lose his hand, however one hand lost is not going to stop a Lannister!

2. Arya Stark - She is by far one of the most engaging characters, since the beginning of the series. She's had everything taken from her, and at the end of the season it was Arya (after journeying for so long to find her family) that witnesses the murder of her brother and mother.

1. Catelyn & Robb Stark  - Murdered at the wedding of Edmure and Roslin Frey, by the hands of Frey's men. It was a shocking, emotional roller coaster. Also included in the slaughter was Robb's wife Talisa. There was no mercy, as they paraded around Robb's decapitated body with the head of Robb's wolf. A moment of silence for the Starks

So that is my top ten. Feel feel to post your favorite scenes or characters, or what you're most looking forward to in the upcoming season.
