Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Satisfying Moments

10. Cersei Burns Them All ('The Winds Of Winter')

It's hard to imagine rooting for the despicable Cersei Lannister, or cheering on the fiery deaths of hundreds (or thousands) of innocents, but that's the exact kind of position in which Game of Thrones fans are routinely put - our morality gets as grey as some of the characters'.

Cersei empowered the religious order known as The Sparrows in order to persecute Loras Tyrell and Queen Margaery, but she ended up suffering at their hands, as well. After being remanded to the Red Keep until her trial, Cersei had time to plot her revenge. She ended up stockpiling wildfire beneath the Sept of Baelor, and setting it off during the eventual hearing.

Cersei getting her get revenge - she stood by a window in the Red Keep, sipping wine as she watched everything burn - was immensely satisfying. For two seasons, the High Sparrow had adopted a friendly, nurturing - even avuncular - manner while proving himself one of the most merciless villains on the entire show. Seeing him go up in flames like a great green offering to the Lord of Light was a sickeningly fit ending to his story.

Even the Tyrells, who were annoyances at worst, learned in their final moments not to cross the Queen Mother. Cersei may be evil, but she suffered as much as any of the Starks throughout the course of Game of Thrones. She deserved to win one - even if her triumph was raw and gruesome and even if it only lasted for a scene or two.
