Game of Thrones makes Best of 2015 lists and Ramsay Bolton is declared the Worst Character on TV 

The end of the year is fast approaching and the Best of 2015 lists are in … and

is on, well, some of them. In other news, Ramsay Bolton has been officially crowned the Actual Worst Character on Television, in case that was ever in question.

. On the one hand, it finally won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. On the other hand, season 5 was so controversial that Sen. Claire McCaskill quit the show on Twitter and The Mary Sue stopped covering

 altogether. So, with the year now in review, it shouldn’t be terribly surprising that 

failed to make it onto as many Best of 2015 lists as it has in previous years … but it still made a few.

Rolling Stone included in on its 25 Best TV Shows of 2015 list … albeit down at #20 accompanied by a description that’s more scathing than complimentary.

 also topped both IMDB’s Top 10 TV Shows list and Rotten Tomatoes’ Top Sci Fi/Horror/Fantasy list.

Meanwhile, after a month of voting, The Atlantic has declared Ramsay Bolton the “actual worst” character on television.

To clarify, the term “worst,” in this context, refers to the unpleasant nature of the character, not the quality of the writing. As @BeautyBrienne put it:

Ramsay, as a character, is fascinating. Ramsay as a person deserves to be run over by a combine harvester. https://t.co/VPHB7NGaNQ

And it just getting worse and worse if he really kills

Walda and maybe Roose too, and burn alive a few known character. And one of them will be Tormund, i just feel it.

I can imagine Iwan Rheon playing Joker in the future DC movies.

while it’s great to win awards and accolades I think the only see way to judge a TV show is by the number of people who watch it. If there are 10 million watching GOT ( and probably another ten million watching illegally) does It matter what critics write anymore? we as an audience are not being fooled by bad reviews ( the rolling stone guy obviously hated shireens death) we watch it because of episodes like the rains of castermere and hardhome which in my opinion are some of the greatest TV ever made.

Iwan Rheon is so funny in “Vicious!” I’d never seen him in anything other than GoT until this old style sitcom. Hopefully “Ash” will outlive Ramsay by a few seasons.

I’d agree with that title for Ramsay, though not in the way that they mean. He’s so one-note and overused by now that he’s boring.

Fargo is the best show I’ve watched this year, though I admit that I don’t watch many. I gave up on ‘The Americans’ a couple episodes into season 3. Need to watch ‘Better Call Saul’ and ‘Mr.Robot’. I’m not big on super hero shows, but may give ‘Jessica Jones’ a shot.

I gave up on ‘The Americans’ a couple episodes into season 3.

Can’t take a list seriously that puts “Mr. Robot” at #1. It’s plotting for idiots. I called the big twist 3 minutes into the first episode… and the second twist at the end of episode 3. There’s nothing brilliant about the show. It’s well acted, though. I’ll give it that.

And why we should care that Claire McCaskill quit the show? LoL

It is pointless to put Emmy awards and anonymous opinion(I’m not from USA) on the same level.

I’d agree with that title for Ramsay, though not in the way that they mean. He’s so one-note and overused by now that he’s boring.

And that is a lot coming from someone that is meant as a supporting character. It has become rather predictable, I agree.

Iwan, made me scared of Ramsey. Love him in the role.

Agree tough, now that Joff’s dead he is the only character left, that is truly evil. No ulterior motive, no schemes, just pure evil.

Lol I don’t even find Ramsay interesting. He’s a boring one note character. Very irritating.

Cersei, Tywin and Littlefinger are the most interesting villains in GOT/ASOIAF.

I’d guess that mention and the mention of The Mary Sue was a nod to the people who lost their minds over the Sansa scene. I’ll give it to the Mary Sue, though…I’d never even heard of that site until they went off the deep-end over that scene. So, if nothing else, their extreme, imo, reaction made a lot more people aware the site existed.

I just grew bored with it. It’s a concept that shouldn’t last for more than 3 or 4 seasons. They were next door neighbors and friends with an FBI agent who can’t seem to recognize the resemblance of them to the sketch artist pictures of suspects he is actively pursuing? Really? Plus, I’m not big on child characters taking up large chunks of screentime, outside of Sally Draper and several GOT characters. I started to get a Dana Brody vibe from the daughter character.

And why we should care that Claire McCaskill quit the show?

Yes, as a non-US person, it means nothing to me. I would also be happy to never hear about themarysue’s grandstanding ever again. As a feminist, and a nerd, I used to really enjoy that website. But over the last few years it’s just become really difficult to wade through anime recaps and misdirected outrage posts to find the good stuff – which is still there (they do have thought-provoking articles on gender and diversity in hollywood/sci-fi etc). The Game of Thrones thing was the last straw for me, and I was sad to leave that place. They can do what they like – it’s their website, of course – but it felt really insincere.

Didn’t see your comment before I posted mine, but yeah, I think that was their aim. Very disappointing.

I actually find the actor’s portrayal of the character sadly lacking. He really is vile and I agree he’s one of the worst sickos there is, but Iwan Rheon gives a fairly average performance for me. He doesn’t scare me or convince me that he’s the evil psycho he’s trying to be at all. I’d be happy to see Ramsay killed off on two counts……one because he thoroughly deserves it and two because Iwan isn’t very good at being Ramsay. Sorry.

Good to see you here, Jack. I look forward to your positively uplifting posts.

If you can find it, you should watch ‘Misfits’, as Iwan Rheon as Simon is my favourite in that show. I constantly have to remind myself of how much I adore Simon whenever Ramsay does something disgusting and horrific.

I’d guess that mention and the mention of The Mary Sue was a nod to the people who lost their minds over the Sansa scene.I’ll give it to the Mary Sue, though…

I think that Petra was one of them, and it seems that her personal opinion is really affecting every article she has written about S5.

I’ll bet you have some wonderful stories to tell about your absence. I dearly want to hear them.
