"Carice van Houten (actress who plays Melisandre) was asked that question awhile ago and I have to agree with her. She said, 'I would like to live in a world that was ruled by Samwell Tarly.' But she said there's no way that's gonna happen, and I think she's probably right!"



"It looked like the guy at the beginning of this, Tyrion (Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage), would be the right man for the job, but he likes (mimes drinking) a little bit too much.



I think Jon Snow would be good, but he doesn't strike me as someone who wants to. He's had power thrust upon him. He never asked to be king, it was all the other people in the North who made him king and he has a responsibility to his people.



But with this show, who knows who's gonna end up a king. It could be anybody. Or nobody."
