Game of Thrones recently rose to become HBO's most watched series of all time, and it shows no signs of slowing down - every season sees a new leap in ratings and attention from a growing fanbase. How has this series gained such a following? There are a host reasons for the show's continued popularity - the gorgeous production values, the colorful cast of characters - but one of the most impressive has to be this show's unflinching ability to marry complex character drama and good old-fashioned medieval brawls. When the show was first announced, one of the primary concerns for longtime fans of the book series was how a television budget would handle the massive battle sequences and intense fight scenes as they were written in the books. Cut to four years later, and the series continues to blow viewers away with impressively choreographed and intimately written action scenes that please both book fans and newcomers alike! So here are our picks for the top ten action sequences in Game of Thrones (so far)! We're taking into account everything from the one-on-one sword fights to the occasional massive battle sequence. Enjoy, but beware, for this list is dark and full of spoilers...
