Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Ups And 2 Downs From 'No One'

4. The Mountain In Action

Game of Thrones Cersei Mountain

After weeks of him simply lurking in the background looking threatening (and smashing the head of that one guy boasting about his encounter with Cersei), FrankenMountain finally gets to show what he can really do this week.

In the long-anticipated "I choose violence" scene (that line is still as great as it was when heard in the Season 6 trailer), he refuses to stand aside when confronted by the Faith Militant. Cue an axe to the chest that does absolutely no damage, and then he RIPS THE GUY'S HEAD OFF.

It's a totally brutal show of power, one that displays how inhumanly strong the Mountain is. Unfortunately it is probably the catalyst for trials by combat being abolished, so we've got the irony of a Clegane costing us Cleganebowl, but it's an awesome moment nonetheless.
