2. Cersei's Revenge Spreads Like Wildfire - Game Of Thrones
Season five of Game Of Thrones managed a speculator feat; it made us feel sorry for Cersei. After years of being a spiteful, hateful character we saw her tortured and humiliated by the High Sparrow, and she spent most of season six rapidly losing her authority.
She naturally wasn’t going down without a fight, and her revenge was so epic it caused mass jaw droppage the world over. Her minions located an old stash of The Mad King’s wildfire, so while everyone gathered in the Great Sept for her trial she poured a glass of wine, and sat back waiting for the fireworks.
In one fell swoop she took care of the High Sparrow, Margaery and most of her enemies within the city, as the Sept exploded in glorious green fire. It also confirmed that even after all of her trauma, there’s no moral line she wouldn’t cross to stay in charge.
