Ups...

10. Ser Robert Shows His Strength

Speaking of resurrected characters, FrankenMountain hasn't had an awful lot to do since he was brought back as Cersei's own personal, rather terrifying bodyguard at the end of Season 5.

Here, then, we finally get to see Ser Robert Strong live up to that name, as he smashed the head of the man boasting about what he did during Cersei's walk of shame into a wall. It's only a brief moment, but that helps play into how effective it is at showing the brutality of this man/zombie.

He shows himself as a force to be reckoned with in another scene as well, confronted by the Faith, none of whom want to take him on - and breathe a sigh of relief when he departs. Again, just a small moment, but it's setting the newest member of the Kingsguard up really well, and I'm excited for when he finally gets to cut loose.
