Today, we’re going to touch on some of the Game Of Thrones characters that… well, they were like broken pencils, if you catch my drift.
They were like poop flavored lollipops, to coin a phrase.
Spoilers ahead.
So, if you haven’t seen the entirety of the series yet, then don’t go any further.
You might see a character you haven’t seen, or might find out one dies, I dunno. Just be careful out there.
Today, we talk pointless characters.
That’s right, now that the series is over and Bran has been crowned king, we can officially do a list of all the pointless, lame and useless GoT people.
Be warned: one of your favorites may be on this list.
Harry Strickland.
They built up the Golden Company so much. It was supposed to be the army to withstand the Unsullied and the dragons, and it was led by the goofball.

Instead, he got very little characterization and a spear in the back.
Kinvara.
What was the point of this character? To show that there were other Red Priestesses in the Seven Kingdoms?
Yeah, thanks guys, I assume an order of holy folk has more than one person.
Salladhor Saan.
This pirate, while sharing some decently funny scenes with Davos, was more of a means for him to get ships than anything. Maybe it helped us look briefly into Davos’ past?
In any case, the ship thing could’ve been solved by a raven. I dub thee… pointless!
Rickon Stark.
Boy howdy, I don’t remember a time when I actually liked this character. And what did he actually do besides be a kid?
Was he just another notch for Ramsay Bolton’s murder belt? Seems pretty useless to me.
Quaithe.
The design of this character was cool, and I honestly thought she was going to stick around as a sort of advisor to Daenerys or something.
But nope, she popped in and then popped out.
Daario Naharis.
Some people might argue that he was the reason the second sons came to Daenerys’ side, but riddle me this: if he was so important, why did they leave him in Meereen?
Benjen Stark.
A couple of quick cameos summarize the life of old Benjie, and what was his point?
To let us know that the Knight’s Watch exist? To make a threat beyond the wall? We had those two covered, thanks.
Doran Martell.
If you’re killed after one single scene, then you probably aren’t all that important.
Also, considering his plot was hated by the fans, it’s no wonder this pointless character was cut so quick.
Jojen Reed.
The first of the Reeds to appear here, what was really the point of Jojen. To tell Bran to follow his weirdly prophetic dreams?
To show us that skeletons can kill? My nightmares make me well aware of the latter, tyvm.
Meera Reed.
Here’s the other Reed, who may be even more pointless than her dumb brother. Was she just supposed to be the muscle of the Bran Scooby gang? And then after all of it, she just goes home to her father?
That’s just sad!
Lady The Direwolf.
I find a lot of the direwolves (except Ghost, that very good boy) were pretty pointless, but Lady took the cake.
All she did was get found as a puppy and die.
Bran Stark.
Yeah, I said it. You can close this article out of fury, you’ve already made it this far. Yes, he becomes king. Yes, he does all that 3ER stuff. But why?
What did it all amount too? And why couldn’t Jon have been King?
That Guy.
This one makes my blood boil the most. Fans universally hated “that guy” and honestly, I don’t know why the creators kept him in the show as long as they did.
Totally and completely pointless.
