9. The Laws Of Gods And Men - 9.7

For all the sex, violence, and dragons that populate Game of Thrones, there are episodes like season four's 'The Laws of Gods and Men'. While there is some action in the form of Yara and the Ironborn battling Ramsay and his men for Theon's freedom, this episode focuses more on words than actions.

The bulk of the episode revolves once again around Tyrion Lannister, and once again Peter Dinklage's performance is nothing short of outstanding. Without any big fight sequences or special effects, Tyrion's trial captivated audiences as they saw a man who only ever tried to help the people condemning him break and lash out.

After devastating surprise testimony from Shae, the anger, the hatred, and the venom is felt in every single one of the Imp's words. This can be seen as the beginning of Tyrion's descent from the riches and wealth of House Lannister, and his first step on the long, long road to Daenerys Targaryen on the other side of the world.
