My favor rises and falls with the hopes of my favorite characters. Who are my favorite characters? Ned and Jon. Which are my favorite seasons? The first and the last couple-two-three. Bugger the hopeless middle seasons, I like when Ned lives and Jon ascends.
If I really mine my subconscious, here's how I associate:
S1: Ned, with Robert
S2-5: Robb and Brienne
S6: Jon gasps anew (not sure if that's even in S6)
S7-8: Jon and Dany
Obviously Robb and Brienne are lesser characters, and the association is telling. The middle seasons are miserable folly. Not bad TV, but ugly.
I'm all Ned and later Jon. Maybe if I rewatched I'd feel different.
