Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best

40. Barristan Selmy

Game Of Thrones Ned Stark
HBO

Death: Killed fighting the Sons of the Harpy.

The good news? Ser Barristan (Ian McElhinney) died after a pretty cool fight scene.

The bad news? His death was completely pointless and felt like a desperate attempt to inject some excitement into the rather dreary opening episodes of season five. He's still alive in the books after all.
