Joffrey was ultimately responsible for the execution of Ned Stark – deciding at the last moment the “traitor” should lose his head rather than take the black. But his importance to the show and events unfolding can’t be understated. His slow transformation from privileged brat to torture-loving, self-righteous monster was like watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion - becoming more destructive and hard to fathom with each passing moment. The sneery, whiny, sadistic former boy-king of Westeros went on a many-year rampage during his tenure on the Iron Throne. It’s a credit to actor Jack Gleeson that most of the world hates his face. So did she really care about the poor, or was it all an act to secure their support? Did she have any genuine compassion for young, overwhelmed Tommen, or was she only making sure the young King was under her control, as she strove to gain control from Cersei? Or was the true answer somewhere in the middle, and her moments of compassion were at least somewhat genuine, but still not at the expense of her quest for power? The answer is up to each viewer, which made Margaery a very fun character to watch as she constantly came up with new solutions to the obstacles put in front of her. But what's become clear over time is that Margaery was, above all else, incredibly ambitious and - aligned with her fierce grandmother, Olenna - always ready with a new plan to secure a place at the top of King’s Landing. In a world many characters are pretty easy to describe, what made Margaery so fun is she defied an easy description. In a dangerous society where appearances are rarely synonymous with motives, Olenna plays the game, pushes her interests, and outlasts her competition from behind the scenes, all while getting in her fair share of zingers in the process. Watching Olenna square off against Tywin, Cersei, or the High Sparrow in wars of precisely chosen words showcase Olenna’s engaging wit and intelligence as she leverages her interests from a place of economic superiority. Though her contributions to the events of Westeros primarily unfold during hushed strolls through the royals gardens or over quiet meals, her plainly spoken exchanges with key characters in the show are as cutting as any battle between armies. Even before the events of the the Great Sept of Baelor, Olenna Tyrell was the true head of House Tyrell, serving as the brains and chief strategist for the powerful family to further their goals from behind her ineffective son, Lord Mace Tyrell.
The aptly called “Queen of Thorns” for her sharp tongue is a constant high point in Game of Thrones thanks to her penchant for saying what’s on her mind, usually at the expense of whomever she’s backhandedly insulting. Animals - cute cats, dragons, direwolves or otherwise - were not included in this list.
