Well, as of this past Sunday, Game Of Thrones is finally over, and I for one will really miss it. Yes, the last two seasons were rushed and highly flawed, and like most people I had major problems with the show’s end game, but overall it was still a fantastic series, probably my third favorite T.V. drama after “Breaking Bad” and “The Sopranos.” So, without further ado, here are some Game Of Thrones-based lists. And it shouldn’t need to be said, but SPOILER ALERT below!
Top 10 Favorite Game Of Thrones Episodes
8 The Children – Tyrion confronts Shae and Tywin, amid other great storylines
7 The Door – Hold the door…
6 Baelor – Goodbye Ned
5 Battle Of The Bastards – Another great battle episode with the classic Sansa mic drop: “You’re going to die tomorrow Lord Bolton. Sleep well.”
4 Hardhome – Jon meets The Night King. The ending when The Night King raises the dead is perhaps the most iconic (and scariest) moment in the whole series.
3 Blackwater – The first great battle episode had many great smaller moments as well
2 The Rains Of Castamere – The Red Wedding
1 The Winds Of Winter – Cersei settles all family business, albeit at great cost.
Top 10 Favorite Game Of Thrones Characters
10 Ser Davos Seaworth
9 Brienne Of Tarth
8 Tormund Giantsbane
7 Tyrion Lannister
6 Bronn
5 Arya Stark
4 Olenna Tyrell
3 Sandor “The Hound” Clegane
2. Drogon
1. Ghost (Because he’s a Good Boy!)
Note: The above list would’ve looked quite different before the last season, or even the last 2 episodes. I only included at least semi-major characters, so apologies to other great minor characters like Oberyn Martell, Lyanna Mormont, The Blackfish, Khal Drogo, and others.
