Game Of Thrones Season 7: Every Death Ranked From Worst To Best

12. The Wight

Game of Thrones wight

Cause Of Death: Hacked to bits by Sandor Clegane, with a piece then burned by Jon Snow.

The capture-a-wight plan was terrible, but it did at least lead us to that brilliant Dragonpit meeting. And after the formalities, such as they happened, were over with, the undead itself was sprung on an unsuspecting Cersei Lannister.

It worked as an effective scare tactic, but once she was convinced the wight itself was hacked to death by Sandor Clegane. It was a little bit comedic, as he slashed away and it kept moving, and yet also a little bit cruel on poor Walter (as cruel as you can be to a corpse that wants to kill you, anyway).
