Are their any good fathers? Parents are fucking shit up all over the place.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 18 June 2014 17:25 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i guess it's not like fathers fare much better
maybe the mothers thing is supposed to be read as saying EVEN a mother's love and protectiveness causes death and destruction in this crazy world of Game of Thrones rather than as a comment on women or mothers

though Ned seemed like a good dad. Taught them to cut dudes' heads off themselves and stuff.

I think if you pick the choices with the most Hodors you get Hodor

queen of thorns is OK by Game of Thrones standards but she's basically pimped out her granddaughter to a a psychopath and a child

oberyn, olenna, eddard and possibly stannis are good parents. balon, robert, cersei and especially tywin are terrible.
the best father in westeros is obviously roose bolton
― g simmel, Friday, 20 June 2014 08:28 (nine years ago) link
we haven't, and presumably won't, meet brienne's father, but he seems like a dad who learned, as he was forced by his daughter's nature to learn who she was and not who he wanted her to become, to be an excellent parent.
― Clay, Friday, 20 June 2014 08:34 (nine years ago) link
sam tarly's dad arguably the worst of them all though, based the story he tells about how he arrived at the night's watch.
surely the worst parent of all is craster
― Mordy, Friday, 20 June 2014 10:53 (nine years ago) link
I get all these North of the Wall nutters mixed up, probably shortsighted of GRRM to give them all really similar names - Rast/Craster/Manse - they're all just interchangeable bearded blokes wearing fur and raping people.

Theon's dad's a real nurturing dude too, and of course there's Tywin...
So is Nedd maybe the only decent dad in the story, then?

love that we're reduced to characters who never appear in the show for good dads
― Brio2, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:19 (nine years ago) link
the dad who got an arrow through the head courtesy of ygritte seemed like a pretty good dad in his 30 seconds of screen time
― dan m, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:20 (nine years ago) link
Worst dad is the direwolf who couldn't prevent his baby momma from dying AND left all seven of his newborn children to die in the snow
― 龜, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:22 (nine years ago) link
the dad who took in the hound and arya and then was robbed by the hound seemed like a good dad, wanted the best for his daughter even as winter comes etc
― dan m, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:27 (nine years ago) link
maybe westeros is full of lovely families who happily go about their lives until the characters grrm's decided to focus on appear and immediately fuck everything up.

I honestly couldn't remember if he appeared in the show or not. Think I invented a deathbed scene

I actually don't think Tywin was THAT bad of a dad. I mean overall sure. But he had a lot of good traits that you want in a parent..or maybe more a boss. Tywin would make a great CEO.

― Frederik B, Saturday, 21 June 2014 10:19 (nine years ago) link
I think that not being killed by your children would be fairly high on the list of key performance indicators for being a good parent.
― AlanSmithee, Saturday, 21 June 2014 13:11 (nine years ago) link
yeah, a great CEO. would watch a spinoff consisting of nothing more than Tywin going to council meetings and ruling the kingdom. Charles Dance has no equal on this show (Pedro Pascal and Diana Rigg come close).
but a terrible dad with a hate/competition thing going on with his only worthy heir

if they're not gonna be bold enough to use this as the theme next season they could at least re-record the current one with real instruments, it could be so much better.

the article claims theon's the only male to do full frontal, but i could've sworn we saw hodor's hodor swinging around at one point.

― Quinoa Phoenix (latebloomer), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 06:51 (nine years ago) link
It was a prosthetic Hodor, and we saw the wine merchant who tried to poison Dany, but Theon's is the only one that was in a pointedly sexual context.
