The watch may have ended for HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” but this episode the Debaters want to know: who IS the best “Game of Thrones” character? Nearly 80 people took the poll that determined the top 32 picks, and host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Curtis Creekmore, Derek Mekita, and Michael Schwarz pick who ends up on GPCD's Iron Throne. Among the characters discussed: Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark, Littlefinger, Varys, The Hound, Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, Olenna Tyrell, Arya Stark, Lyanna Mormont, Yara Greyjoy, Davos Seaworth, Khal Drogo, Ygritte, Oberyn Martell, Daenerys Targaryen, Hodor, Poddrick Payne, Bronn, Brienne of Tarth, Catelyn Stark, and many more!

Once you’re finished listening to Part 1, make sure you burn right through to Part 2; both are posted above!
