I just finished the first book and it's crazy how the Lannisters end up in power especially after what situation they are in at the end of A Game of Thrones (1st book). Renly & Tyrells, Stannis & Dragonstone, The North with Robb and Riverrun ALL against the Lannisters at the end of the first book, seemed like it was over for them especially after Robb got into Riverrun, defeated Jamie Lannister's party and held him hostage. It seemed over for them.
Robb was a made a huge mistake but he was young (Ned would have never made the mistake) and he went far beyond what was expected of him as a kid.
What pissed me off the most from the first book was Lysa Arryn, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's a shame because in the book Jon Arryn has a great reputation. The Blackfish is a G.
Sansa acted FOOLISHLY by confiding in Cersei and informing her of Neds plans which led to his demise.
Of all of them, Ned would have made the best king and Stannis second. Robb was too inexperienced though in a few years he could very well have been a GREAT king. Renly was not serious enough, he wanted to the glory but his administrating would have been questionable. ALL of them would have been better than Joffrey though, let's be honest.
Oh and Tywin Lannister is a G and I love the way Tyrion takes the piss out of Cersei when he becomes hand.
