    All I'm going to say is that I wish I had a Tywin Lannister app on my phone where, whenever someone pissed me off, I could activate it and he would completely emasculate whoever I was mad at.

    Homer Simpson sucks and so does that quote. And so do you.

    The GOAT character from the GOAT show.

    I was playing BP awhile ago and was feeling pretty good/playing really well. Naturally, I dropped this quote on my opponents. /coolstory

    So much anger in you.

    Goodluck.

    technically speaking, it's probably Walter White in terms of length (60+ episodes),evolution and depth of character.

    Only real comparisons I would make are Tony Soprano, but the consistency of writing just wasn't there. And Vic Mackey - but he's largely the same guy in the beginning and there's no evolution of character. And possibly Ben Linus, except he's really more of a supporting character.


    And Tyrion beats them all on multiple levels....but he doesn't have 1/10th the screen time.

    oh.....and Barney Stinson

    In some ways, that hurts characters on shows with more of an ensemble cast because any individual guy might be the focal point of an episode or a few scenes, but they don't get the overall air time to be "the man" either on their show or on TV in general. In other ways, I think it helps a bit because it helps their top moments stand out more and keeps them from turning Homer Simpson and winding up a pale imitation of what they used to be. Like, I loved watching Tywin utterly destroy virtually everyone he talked to in Game of Thrones, but a big part of that was because he was in a total of what, 20 or so episodes and usually featured in one or two scenes in most of them, so it never turned into a "oh god, how are they going to try to keep him fresh this time..." sort of thing and just stayed at this "get the popcorn ready, someone's getting emasculated now!!!!" thing.
