Game Of Thrones: Every Episode Ranked From Worst To Best
20. Fire And Blood (S1E10)
Written By: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss Directed By: Alan Taylor
With the unenviable task of following the death of Ned Stark, Fire and Blood provides a great end to a superb first season of Game of Thrones.
Arya takes the first of many identities, setting up her entire arc of the show thus far, and we get the first chest-thumping KING IN THE NORTH scene, with Robb Stark crowned by his fellow Northerners.
If Ned's death was game-changing, so too was this episode's final moments, and arguably in a bigger way. Daenerys enter's Khal Drogo's funeral pyre, and emerges unburnt, with three baby dragons. Magic is back in Westeros.
19. And Now His Watch Has Ended (S3E4)
Written By: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss Directed By: Alex Graves
"Dracarys."
Do I need to say more? Probably not, but since we're here...
Olenna Tyrell gets a couple of excellent moments here, engaging in conversations with both Cersei and Varys, and that's always going to a highlight. Theon's escape is revealed to simply be a sadistic game being played by Ramsay Snow. And with the mutiny at Craster's Keep, the watch of Lord Commander Mormont comes to a close.
But really, it all comes back to Dracarys.
