In today’s age of serialized television, it’s important for a series to keep its viewers coming back for more. Which means that sometimes an episode will have such a mind-blowing ending you have to see what happens next. Game of Thrones is certainly no exception.
Think about your favorite episodes of Thrones. Why are they your favorites? What do you remember most about them? Battle sequences, like in Blackwater or Battle of the Bastards? Maybe ones with deep character moments, like Kissed by Fire? Or, in the case of the following ten episodes, you remember them for one reason and one reason alone: their endings.
Whether they end with exciting action sequences, or with deaths that leave you either heartbroken or cheering (depending on who dies), these were the episodes that left us coming back for more Game of Thrones. And, of course, spoilers are coming.
Honorable Mention: The Laws of Gods and Men (Season 4, Episode 6)
This episode just missed the cut, but it’s one that must be mentioned. Peter Dinklage gives a powerhouse performance in this scene, delivering the absolute best monologue in the series. Watch this scene again if you haven’t watched the show in a while. You’ll be amazed.
