Game of Thrones' Khal Drogo:
At least G.O.T is honest in its depiction of beautiful women being utterly turned on by super-dominant men.
I mean, this dude raped her...I mean actual rape, not Jezebel rape, yet she adores him.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. - H L Mencken

Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and Doug Stamper (far right, Michael Kelly) from House of Cards are both pretty awesome.
Great show. I'm about halfway through the season and yeah Spacey's character is definitely alpha. His wife is also alpha, but they make it work pretty well (she knows he has to sleep with people to secure certain power for them, etc).
I'm worried that that Zoe chick is going to end up fucking his life up somehow. She's definitely the feminist of the show (getting the paper editor fired for calling her a cunt and just being a bitch overall).
I'm hoping I won't see another alpha toppled by a "strong, independent female" on a show...like I said I'm only halfway through the season.
"...it's the quiet cool...it's for someone who's been through the struggle and come out on the other side smelling like money and pussy."
