Natalie Dormers Queen Margaery is a perfect foil to Lena Headeys Cersei Lannister. Where the former queen is overt and contemptuous in her schemes, Margaery uses her feminine wiles in a much more underscored way. Shes now successfully attached herself to three different kings of varying prestige, and has worked quite hard to reach the level of queen through the art of seduction and deviousness. Watching her verbally joust with her new mother-in-law a few episodes ago with both actresses conveying condescending layers upon layers of disdain while their words said the opposite showed that the Lannister twin may have finally met her match. And now that Margaery has sunk her teeth in her precious little King Tommen, the divide between the two is only going to grow. Without his queen by his side, Tommen is a non-factor in the story and Dormer is the only reason we should be interested in his arc at all, other than to see if/when he eventually gets killed and by who. So theres our list of 10 characters we desperately need to survive season five. Agree or disagree with these selections? Sound off in the comments below!
