Joffrey.  I hope he chops everybody elses heads off and makes slaves of their women and keeps the 3 dragons as playthings to occaisionally torch other towns just to let everyone know who's boss. 

Oh, and turn the crafty dwarf in to his court jester/dogsbody.

How would you like to see it panning out?

Im annoyed with Joffrey. They should just kill him, hes just a spoiled brat. The dwarf would make a good king actually. But I think it would be funny to see Arya sit on the throne.

The awesome Tyrion should be king!

I'm a bit biased since I've read all 5 books. I know that some possible kings aren't going to last very long, and there are a few surprises on the way. I can recommend the books by the way. The first 3 are awesome, the 4th and 5th a bit less interesting but still well worth the read.

My guess is that eventually Daenerys will become queen. But that will take a couple more books to happen. My main interest now are: what is happening with Bran, and what will become of Sam now that he's moved South? 

Daenerys is soooo annoying..

And I believe Martin will suprise us anyway with the overall ending. It's possitive he said he always had in mind what would happen with all main heroes. We don't know when he will finish the series but at least we can be sure that he will (he is still not that old, right.. )

I was quite fond of Daenerys up until the last episode or two where she stopped being a badass chick and became annoying. Its even the facial expressions that she makes now. I was like... did they change the actress?

Anyway I didnt read the books, though I might later, and I had a similar conversation with someone whos been reading the books a while ago, and she was saying when will it finally end with some conclusion. And I said maybe this is the type of series that doesnt have an end. I mean it doesnt have a begining either, they sort of throw you into the story and then explain the things that happened in the past afterwards. I think the series isnt about having some conclusion where someone will sit on the throne and they will live happily ever after. Its about the medieval politics and the struggles, so it cannot have an end.

Anyway the question was, who do you, personally, would like to see on the throne from people who are currently alive in tv show, regardless of what you might know will happen in the future.

So I should be accurate not to give away some spoilers))

At season/book 2 I remember I always wanted to have Robb as winner. Like this the story would be more like trad black-and-white fantasy :)

I don't agree there was no beginning. The time was choosen just right - no wars yet, but some tensions that were waiting to get resolved and long prehistory where all events have their roots. I also loved the first chapter, where children of Eddard found the werewolves. It's a pitty they don't play big role in later part.. But afterall Martin always makes a move you would expect from trad fantasy and destroys it a little bit later when nobody expects it...

I want to see Daenerys on the throne and everybody else roast like BBQ.

And if it cannot be Daenerys then at least Arya should be there and lastly Tyrion as a good option.

Hmmm thinking about it Carice (that is the 'red woman' for you non-dutchies) would be a good option too. At least her 'son' should be entertaining enough.

Arya ROCKS! ;-) Together with Gendry, maybe ... 

But I have to admit I am just finishing the 3rd book (1200 pages!!!), so I know bit ahead what's going to happen as well. And I just HOPE, that not ALL of my heroes will die before the end of all the series :-/

Btw I read that the 6th book should be finished by 2013 ... 

Meanwhile...

Great choice!

Arya + Gendry.. afterall he is a son of King Robert, unacknowledge that is.. but still I think they would make a great pair to rule Westeros.
