10 MORE Game Of Thrones Deleted Scenes You Need To See

8. Olenna's Plot

Olenna Tyrell was one of the most rewarding characters in Game Of Thrones and while her death robbed us of a titanic figure and ultimate snarker, she at least got a final opportunity to lay some verbal smackdown on Jaime Lannister by revealing she killed Joffrey.

In that moment, she once again confirmed how much of a master planner she was and also how much she seems to know about the machinations of other characters, which we might have seen more of if one scene from Season 6 hadn't been left on the editing room floor.

In the scene, Olenna discusses the Lannisters with her son, Mace Tyrell and shines a light for him on how much he is being manipulated as Cersei's Master of Coin, despite his ignorance. She reveals that she plans to free her grandchildren - Loras and Margaery - hinting at just how close Cersei's plan came to failure.
