Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Characters It Must Use Better

5. Brienne Of Tarth

Brienne has cultivated hero status among many fans, but I'm yet to be truly convinced. As an individual, she is a brilliantly strong-willed, incredibly loyal woman, but her story has been drawn out for so long with little end result to justify the time she has been given. Season 5 made a mockery of her potentially excellent character by omitting her almost entirely, and when she did feature, 90% of her time was spent motionless, peering out at Winterfell, waiting for a signal. Killing Stannis gives some purpose to Brienne still surviving, but she really does need to be used in a more integral role if she is to justify her status as a 'good character'.
