Turns out BSG fans have some visible tendencies in their preferences and it makes me smile :) Hee! Yes, so it seems. *g*
I'd say Tyrion and Kara are similar in many ways. Tyrion is not as self-destructive as she is, but he also has plenty of self-hatred inside Oh, interesting. I'd agree that Tyrion would be in my top five. He's fascinating and a successfully human 'villain'. I wonder if in part Tyrion doesn't need to be so self-destructive as Kara because life is constantly heaping shit on him anyway. ;-) But I think he also lacks Kara's heroism. Even if Kara does it for personal glory, she's more overtly a hero than Tyrion.
he's the one who will make hard calls, sometimes wrong calls, but I think he won't repeat his father's mistake: just as Lee Adama is more flexible than his father, Jon has also more abilities to survive the politics by playing dirty at times, soiling his hands and his soul partly..True! Definitely true. I just wish he'd get off the bloody wall. ;-) Hee! I like Jon as a character, I

My top five... mmm Jaime, Brienne, Arya, Dany, Jon. Shit! Tyrion missed out. Grr. Maybe I'd swap him for Brienne, actually. I love her as a contrast to Jaime but she's not as strong in her own right. Yes. *nods* I would swap them.
Kara's self-destructive hell is rather unique. Perhaps in fiction... I've certainly met people like that in real life though. ;-)
as for Jaime - Tyrion thinks he betrayed him as well. Oh, their scene in the cell! *clutches heart* That tore me to pieces.
I think that now Jon is stuck at the Wall, at least until his parentage is revealed. But things are going to get much more intense there in the Dance with Stannis, the others and lots of upcoming problems.
I think the cruelty she suffered after she was separated from her family gives her the equivalent darkness to Kara though from a different source. It means she'll stay loyal to the family, rather than seek alternative parent figures like Kara.
Good point :) It also means she'll still trust her family. Kara doesn't.
But interesting that both of them are given a spiritual/religous aspect too... Yeah, Arya's every evening prayers are hard to forget... You made me remember and seek out a one-shot fic I liked about pilots... about Kara's childhood as it might have been: http://www.geocities.com/tropiques_sol/Mementoes.html... )
things are going to get much more intense there in the Dance with Stannis, the others and lots of upcoming problems You're right. Hopefully they will be intense in a way that I enjoy. *g* I think so actually... I suspect the flat period (for me) is over for Jon--he's taken some big steps along the path to maturity so I can see things improving (from a dramatic perspective!) from here on.
Thanks for the fic rec--it's a lovely piece that I doubt I would have read otherwise. *G*
Jaime/Brienne plotline is one of the strongest in the Storm and it continues to be despite that they're spatially separated now. *nods* Yes--they're just such a wonderful contrast to one another. I love paired opposites and they're definitely that, and they're on parallel journeys. The bearpit scene is one of my favourites in the whole series.
I just thought there *must* be someone who actually knows. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense at all I'm desperately trying to think but my memory is failing me... I agree--there must be a connection. But... *frowns*

I still want to know who your top five are ;)
