Never seen it, but that wee lassie in it who was in The Falling is from just up the road from me.
Folk who know her say she is a nice person, does a lot of animal rights stuff.

I would say that all of the Starks did and Dany seems to, hence why she stayed in Mareen when she could have sailed to Westeros immediately.
The best side story to me was the Oberyn Martell storyline. He was an amazing character played by an amazing actor. Too bad it was cut so short.

Dany's support for her people are merely because she sees people as her subjects and herself as their ruler.
Arya's care for characters like the butcher boy even risking her own life is rarely seen in the show/books. It seems she sees others as equal to her which other members of nobility rarely do. Starks in general are kind to their subjects but mostly out of tradition and with respect to their duty. Although Tyrion did have some empathy for the weak it was mostly for the grotesque/unfortunate people. Stannis likewise had some considerations for the masses but his actions were unjustified on many instances.

So many to choose from! Without thinking too much about it, I will go with Jon Snow and Ygritte.
My least favourite is the whole "Reek" thing.

I thought you don't watch it. Or do you read the books... They put all the series on Now TV a couple of years ago so I watched it then (although I think I missed out s6.) I'm not exactly tingling at the prospect of s8 - though I'll probably watch it.

I'm not exactly tingling at the prospect of s8 - though I'll probably watch it. Season six, especially the last two episodes, is among the best in telly, but at a high cost. Season 7 had to pay the price: teleport Euron (to male it somehow plausible that house Lannister is still a military factor), zero-brain Tyrion (I guess they had to provide the Night's King with a dragon to let him pass the wall) with his utterly stupid idea that was a non-starter from day one etc. pp. (again: to make Cercei look smart and give her some troops to pose a faction of importance) But the battle in episode four (Lizzard action) or the end of Littlefinger (some say a bit suddenly and short - but on the other hand no long drag, and Sansa was pretty sharp in her prosecution) was worth it. But now all three zero-brain combined in Winterfeld: the blonde bimbo, Lord-"I knownothing" and the drunken imp...to meet the White Walker in an open field battle - most likely not even a prepared battlefield: mines, wildfire, trenches, traps god knows...an open field battle...I guess he thinks it has worked nonetheless in the battle of the bastards.

I guess most of the stuff outside of the Dany storyline for the first 5 or so seasons. Those Dany parts were fairly skippable for me.

I mainly remember the first few seasons of Dany's storyline as her traipsing around the desert, basically. I felt like it dragged. When it focused on her, I wanted the show to go back to King's Landing or Castle Black and tell me what was going on with the other characters.

You know, that is exactly the recollection I had too, but having recently started rewatching the show from the beginning, I must say that I changed my mind about it. I guess when I first watched it, not knowing what I now know about the character, it seemed a bit pointless.

Watch a scene like the final scene of And Now His Watch Has Ended (S3 episode 4) and tell me that here storyline is boring. I agree that it grows stale by season six, but definitely not during the first four seasons.
