FAQ
How long do polls run for?
Usually one week
What's your policy on spoilers?
I welcome all discussion of the show in the reblogs/comments, but out of courtesy for first time viewers I'll try to avoid unnecessary spoilers in my own posts. Mild spoilers may be present in episode/image descriptions and propaganda, but I'll label or avoid any major ones.
Why is an actor's name missing from a post?
If an actor's name is omitted in a post where others are named then—unless I've made a legitimate error—they have be censured. See this post for more information
How are you tagging things?
All original polls are tagged with #polls
All polls from or based on other blogs are tagged #other polls
Any poll that featuring an episode is tagged with that episodes name & season placement (formatted #S... E...).
Any poll that featuring a season as a whole are tagged as #season ...
Any poll featuring a character is tagged with that character name.
Any poll featuring an actor outside of the show's context is tagged with that actor's name and #actors
Once I have more polls up, I'll probably make a tag masterpost/directory
If Monica Reyes (The X-Files) was in Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire, which Great House of Westeros would they be part of or at least the most affiliated with?
House Targaryen
House Stark
House Lannister
House Baratheon
House Greyjoy
House Tully
House Arryn
House Martell
House Tyrell
Remaining time: 2 days 2 hours
Ways to approach the poll if the character isn’t a royal:
If you think they’d be from a smaller house, go with the Great House that that smaller house is sworn to (ex: House Manderly —> vote Stark)
They don’t have to be a nobleperson, they can be someone working for the house or being ruled by them. Roles could be a sworn-sword, a septa, a butcher, a blacksmith, or even a lowly peasant.
You can consider the region itself. For example, if you feel the character would be from Dorne, pick House Martell.
You can consider the personality of the character. For example, if your character is all about honor, then consider either House Arryn or House Stark.
Last, but not least, be creative with it! For example, there was a comment I read that the character who was the subject of the poll would be pulling a Littlefinger, so they went with either Lannister or Tyrell as that would be that character’s target houses.

Who's the better one-off character? (Quaterfinals)
Jose Chung (played by Charles Nelson Reilly in "Jose Chung's From Outer Space")
Steve & Edy (played by J.W. Smith & Curtis Jackson in "X-Cops")
Luther Lee Boggs (played by Brad Dourif in "Beyond the Sea")
Voting ended onMay 26
Jose Chung: He just has such a way with words...
Jose Chung: Seeking the truth about aliens means a perfunctory 9-to-5 job to some. For although Agent Diana Lesky [Cut to Scully reading the completed book "From Outer Space"] is noble of spirit and pure at heart, she remains, nevertheless, a federal employee. As for her partner, Renard Muldrake - that ticking time bomb of insanity - his quest into the unknown has so warped his psyche, one shudders to think how he receives any pleasures from life. [Cut to Mulder in bed watching the Patterson-Gimlin bigfoot film]
Steve & Edy: Gays not buried! Also they manage to resolve conflict maturely and stay together. Pretty good queer rep for the year 2000
Luther Lee Boggs: Brad Dourif killing it as usual. Memorable for a reason.
