Game Of Thrones: 10 Best Episodes (According To IMDb)
2. The Winds Of Winter - 9.9
Since 2012 and the release of the latest installment in the Song of Ice and Fire, A Dance with Dragons: After the Feast, readers of the books have been eagerly awaiting the forthcoming sequel, The Winds of Winter. So, when season six finished with a episode titled the same, there was a lot of intrigue and expectation.
While the majority of the episodes on this list feature one main sequence for which it is remembered, 'Winds of Winter' truly has a handful of these epic moments. The first of which revolved around Cersei exacting her revenge against the High Sparrow, Margaery, and the people of King's Landing in one of the tensest openings to any episode ever.
After the explosion, and King Tommen's subsequent suicide, Arya made her long awaited return to Westeros, also exacting revenge. The young Stark perfectly used her new face swapping abilities to murder, not only Walder Frey, but the entire House for their part in the Red Wedding.
Samwell Tarly and Bran Stark put their heads together and figured out Jon's true parentage in a moment that, similar to the battle at Hardhome, means a lot less now that we now how little it would impact the future of the show.
The episode and the last truly great season of Game of Thrones finished with the Mother of Dragons and rightful Queen of Westeros setting sail for her home. 'The Winds of Winter' completely changed the whole landscape of the show heading into season seven.
