The second episode of Game of thrones Eight season leaked hours online before the broadcast.

Subscribers who were interested in the first release, entitled "Winterfell", could not believe their luck when the second episode began to air immediately after.
We will tell you what is true. You can form your own view.

Tonight's episode will be dedicated to Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) after his return to Winterfell. Given his questionable actions in the past, including pushing Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) through a window and killing Daenerys' father, he is sure he will not receive the best possible reception.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that George RR Martin – the source author of the series – had almost presented an incestuous relationship impossible to understand.
The last season of Game of thrones continue every Sunday. You can find a countdown of each episode here.
Below you will find our extensive ranking of our favorite characters – from the worst to the best.
1/70 70. Rickon Stark
Undoubtedly the most annoying Stark kid – an impressive feat next to Bran – Rickon's at least seen giving a damn scene of death: carried off by an arrow gracefully provided by Ramsay Bolton.
HBO
2/70 69. Robin Arryn
Most Thrones fans remember Robin Arryn as the 10-year-old bad-fed (still strange) mother. That's about it.
HBO
3/70 68. Renly Baratheon
The Rickon of the Baratheon brothers. His claim to the iron throne was tenuous, considering that his older brother, Stannis, was still alive. When the monster from Stannis' shadow came to kill him, it was only good news for the series.
HBO
4/70 67. sheet
Leaf, one of the mythical Children of the Forest series, is perhaps mysterious, but his noble sacrifice to save Bran, Meera and Hodor from a horde of warriors robbed him of any value.
HBO
5/70 66. Tommen Baratheon
Another boring younger brother. While Joffrey was pure evil, Tommen was innocent and inevitably very boring. Her cat, Ser Pounce, was an badet to the show.
HBO
6/70 65. Lysa Arryn
Lysa, Catelyn Stark's frightening sister, was seen for the first time with Robin Arryn, her 10-year-old son, tied to his chest. His death – being pushed through the moon gate – could not have happened sooner.
HBO
7/70 64. Benjen Stark
Having disappeared in the first season, Benjen returned in the sixth season to save his nephew, Bran. The moment was a surprise for viewers – book readers, however, had long speculated that Coldhands was an undead version of the Stark.
HBO
8/70 63. Syrio Forel
The unhappy appearance of Syrio in season 1 was a formative experience for an Arya Stark (Maisie Williams); It's him who helped her become the avenging murderer that fans know and love today.
HBO
9/70 62. Jeor Mormont
Jorah Mormont's father, Jeor was an honorable leader of Night Watch – perhaps through a fault. After giving Long Snow's sword to Jon Snow, Mormont inadvertently showed the Stark bastard that Valerian's steel could cut through the White Walkers.
HBO
10/70 61. Roose Bolton
Let's be honest: it's hard to like a character like Roose Bolton, the man who orchestrated the violent Red Wedding – the most infamous scene of the six-year history of the series that saw the death of Robb, Catelyn and Talisa.
HBO
11/70 60. Ellaria Sand
Ellaria Sand may have been a more seductive creation on the page, but in the series, her on-screen time unfortunately returns to react when loved ones are killed in a more and more horrible way.
HBO
12/70 59. Grand Maester Pycell
Pycell had secretly seen many things in his day, but there is an element of "unsatisfied potential" in Glover's character whose late betrayal of Cersei Lannister put a scary end to his luxury life at King's. Landing.
HBO
13/70 58. three-eyed raven
Perhaps it was Max von Sydow's cast that reinforced the anticipation for the three-eyed crow of the series, but the story without conviction leaves much to be desired.
HBO
14/70 57. Gilly
Gilly's long journey from Craster's Donjon to Winterfell seems exciting on paper. But, unfortunately, she was a pbadenger for too long in Sam's trip.
HBO
15/70 56. Daario Naharis
The man who won the heart of Daenerys Targaryen, only to be left behind at Essos. Ed Skrein played the character originally, but was soon replaced after the actor got a role in Deadpool.
HBO
16/70 55. Shae
Oh Shea. His unfortunate betrayal – sleeping with Tywin (Charles Dance) – was a slap in the face not only for his lover Tyrion, but also for the viewer.
HBO
17/70 54. gray worm
Chief of Usulliés, the Gray Worm remains unshakable – except around Missandei. Although their romance can be comforting, it is difficult to invest in two characters also in wood.
HBO
18/70 53. Talisa Maegyr
To be fair to Robb Stark's wife, Talisa, if she had avoided being murdered in the most horrific way during the red wedding, she would have probably been higher on this list. Alas.
HBO
19/70 52. Shireen Baratheon
All that Shireen, who was suffering from greyness, had always wanted to read, was to read stories in her room, but because of her tireless father, Stannis, she was tragically reduced to ashes after being sacrificed to the Lord of the Light.
HBO
20/70 51. Viserys Targaryen
Viserys wanted at all costs the iron throne, giving his own sister in exchange for an army. Dany, however, had other projects. Her new husband, Khal Drogo, covering Viserys from melted gold was one of the most memorable death scenes in the series.
HBO
21/70 50. Maester Luwin
The kind Maester Luwin was one of the friendliest characters of the first seasons, becoming a substitute father for Bran and Rickon, while the Starks endured horrors elsewhere. He was finally killed when Ramsay Bolton took over Winterfell.
HBO
22/70 49. Thoros of Myr
Thoros spent most of his time on the resurrecting Beric show and was recently seen brandishing his flaming sword alongside Jon Snow behind the wall.
HBO
23/70 48. Mance Rayder
Ciaran Hinds brought an intensity to Mance Rayder, a character who would otherwise be lost in the crowd. As a result, his death at the hands of Mélisandre was unexpected.
HBO
24/70 47. Podrick Payne
True to his habits, Podrick Payne has become a fan favorite for his amazing courage in the face of adversity. He and Brienne de Tarth form an excellent duo.
HBO
25/70 46. Euron Greyjoy
While Euron Greyjoy only joined the show in the sixth season, his presence was immediately felt. A generic character, Greyjoy's selfish and greedy nature of power has been fascinating to watch.
HBO
26/70 45. Jaqen H & # 39; ghar
Jaqen H & # 39; ghar – a faceless men of Braavos – had such a promise, but ended up being the one who had rang Arya's story of the energy she had had previously, alongside The Hound (Rory McCann).
HBO
27/70 34. Missandei
Missandei has somehow succeeded in gaining strength in the new world order by being Dany's advisor. However, her nature on stilts can make some encounters difficult, but at least she and Gray Worm are happy together.
HBO
28/70 43. Ygritte
Ygritte – Wild Snowling lover Jon Snow – will be part of the legend of Thrones for providing the series with the famous phrase often quoted: "You do not know anything, Jon Snow." Spoken with a northern accent, of course.
HBO
29/70 42. Hot Pie
Has an actor ever been more suited to a role? After all, Ben Hawkey then ran his own bakery, selling even Thrones-themed products.
HBO
30/70 41. Walder Frey
One of the orchestrators of the red wedding, Walder Frey was a rowdy and terrifying villain. When Arya unmasks and kills the old man, it's a sweet and gentle moment of revenge.
HBO
31/70 40. Bran Stark
That says a lot about the fact that Bran Stark has become slightly more interesting since he's sacrificed his personality to become the spiritualistic heart of the series. His role in the last season should be huge, with the long-standing theory that he could become the dreaded Night King.
HBO
32/70 39. Gendry
The true heir to the iron throne. Gendry may have spent a few seasons paddling at sea, but his return suggests great things to come for the Baratheon bastard.
HBO
33/70 38. Yara Greyjoy
Lily Allen was initially sought after for the role of Theon's sister. However, she refused: "I felt uncomfortable because I should have gone on horseback and that he would have touched me and screwed me up. Whereas Allen's brother, Alfie, had already been chosen for Theon, it was probably for the better.
HBO
34/70 37. Robert Baratheon
Mark Addy brought some gravitas to Robert Baratheon, making him a terribly tired king. Although having only a few scenes, the presence of his character is still felt in the series thanks to Gendry.
HBO
35/70 36. Barristan Selmy
After being fired by the Lannisters, Selmy took an oath of allegiance to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), bridging the gap between two of the main characters in the series. He was also a good warrior.
HBO
36/70 35. Margaery Tyrell
Margaery Tyrell was one of the greatest players in Game of Thrones. She started in the Lannister family's politics and became queen for a spell. Her number was at the moment when she had made herself the enemy of Cersei, and her death by fire, though disappointing, was a huge moment.
HBO
37/70 34. Osha
Underutilized Osha was our very first savage, an unpredictable danger that threatened a knife for the characters we loved. Her subsequent evolution into Stark maid was very interesting, which meant she was sidelined for several seasons, before being brought back just to be offended unceremoniously, a travesty.
HBO
38/70 33. Samwell Tarly
According to one theory, Samwell Tarly, who trains as a maester, is actually the author of the song Song of Ice and Fire – AKA, the book series. In other words, Sam is George RR Martin. Go understand.
HBO
39/70 32. the mountain
Clegane's big brother known as The Mountain – who is now a zombie servant of Cersei – may not have met many characters in the series, but his presence is known to everyone in Westeros. His greatest moment? Hit the head of poor Oberyn in a porridge.
HBO
40/70 31. Ramsay Bolton
Ramsey cut Theon's penis and sent it to Greyjoy's father. He imprisoned and raped Sansa Stark. He killed Rickon Stark in front of his brother. And Ramsay finally died while feeding his own dogs. A terrifying death for a terrible human.
HBO
41/70 30. king of the night
The incarnation of evil. Why, exactly, the king of the night is heading south to destroy humanity, remains a mystery. But, whatever the reason, he is a terrifying enemy. As the Starks say, the winter is finally here.
HBO
42/70 29. Beric Dondarrion
Beric danced on the periphery of the series until his third season, when he appeared as the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners. His introduction paved the way for the Lord of Light's ability to resurrect the dead, a mystical subcompact that was to become very important for Jon Snow.
HBO
43/70 28. Theon Greyjoy
While Theon begins as an arrogant child, having been sterilized by Ramsay, he becomes the boring Reek. Fortunately, Theon returns in the last seasons, but not without we still hated his courage for not saving Sansa earlier.
HBO
44/70 27. Khal Drogo
For the whole world, he is now Aquaman, but for a brief moment, Jason Momoa was Khal Drogo, the beloved husband of Dothraki, his Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
HBO
45/70 26. The great sparrow
Although apparently a wise old man, the High Sparrow quickly becomes a nasty tactical, utilizing his newly acquired powers under King Tommen to turn King's Landing into his own domain.
HBO
46/70 25. Jon Snow
Each show needs a hero, and they are not more obvious than Jon Snow. From bastard abandoned to King of the North, his rise was one of the best scenarios in the series. It is unfortunate that Snow can be such a bland person, doing only what is right and apparently having no blemish.
HBO
47/70 24. Stannis Baratheon
With his propensity to make difficult decisions for the greater good, Stannis could have been a heroic warrior. However, the continual fall of Brother Baratheon – including the sacrifice of his own daughter and the badbadination of his own brother – was a terrible decision that ultimately sentenced him.
HBO
48/70 23. Hodor
Once you understand that Kristian Nairn was essentially paid to repeat the word "Hodor" many times, it is hard to deny that the protector of Bran Stark was a comforting addition to the series. His death – the breathtaking sequence "Hold the Door" – will remain as one of the most memorable moments of the series.
HBO
49/70 22. Melisandre
Let 's not forget that Melisandre is actually an old shriveled witch who has been manipulating men for hundreds of years. His faith in the Lord of the Light could, however, be misplaced.
HBO
50/70 21. Tywin Lannister
Stannis was a horrible father. His two favorite children became incestuous lovers and he blamed his younger brother for the death of his wife. Without Tywin, however, the Lannister family would not be as fascinating as it is to watch.
HBO
51/70 20. Arya Stark
Arya Stark, arguably the greatest character of the early seasons, was one of the biggest victims in the series, surpbading the sources of George RR Martin. Its short time in front of the screen, because of its remoteness from the central action, robbed us of clbadic moments, which we are sure will be at the heart of the eighth and final season.
HBO
52/70 19. Tormund Giantsbane
Tormund has some of the best lines in the series, especially when he expresses his admiration for Brienne. Here is one of the least explicit: "I want to make babies with it, think of it, big monsters, they will conquer the world!"
HBO
53/70 18. Oberyn
Few shows can bring characters midway through that impact as important as Oberyn. The Viper quickly became the fan's favorite and his death remains one of the most painful moments of the series.
HBO
54/70 17. Olenna Tyrell
The scenes of Olenna were always to cherish. The queen of thorns was as sneaky as the best and seemed able to get out of any situation, comfortably seated in her own chair.
HBO
55/70 16. Jorah Mormont
Poor Ser Jorah. Dany may be 25 years younger than him, but this has never prevented the dishonored warrior from loving him. He even fought Gray Scale to fight at his side. If it is not true love, then what is it?
HBO
56/70 15. Davos Seaworth
Liam Cunningham's performance as a brave Davos Seaworth has been one of the best things about the series since its introduction. As Jon Snow's Royal Advisor, he recently saw himself dive into the heart of the series and, quite simply, Game of Thrones would be a less enjoyable show without him.
HBO
57/70 14. Eddard "Ned" Stark
Killing a main character in the first season of a show was virtually unknown before Game of Thrones. Yet, as dictated by George RR Martin's books, they cut off Sean Bean's head without hesitation, setting the tone for everything that would happen. No death has touched the Thrones so far since.
HBO
58/70 13. Daenerys Targaryen
"Daenerys Stormborn of Targaryen House, first of her name, the unburned, queen of the Andals and the first men, Khaleesi of the great sea of grbad, chain breaker and mother of dragons." Whenever Dany meets a new person, she forces Missandei to read her resume in full. I guess everyone would do it if theirs was so impressive. Dany really had a good trip to the top – a pity that she could not have come to Westeros a little earlier.
HBO
59/70 12. Varie
At the beginning of the series, it was difficult to pin down Varys, a slippery eel of a character whose "little birds" flutter around Westeros and who provide crucial information. At the dawn of the last season, his true intentions are clear: he is all for Daenerys to take the Iron Throne, even if he does not live to see the day ("I must die in this strange country, just like you, "prophesied Melisandre last season).
HBO
60/70 11. Bronn
Perhaps the best side-kick of the series, Bronn has only one loyalty: money. Paired with one of Lannister's boys, Tyrion or Jaime, Bronn is an excellent company.
HBO
61/70 10. Robb Stark
Before guarding the body, Richard Madden was the extremely temporary king of Westeros. Robb was a man of honor who was trying to illuminate the universe of Thrones. It was a sympathetic presence that reigned with his heart, an act that eventually saw him die at the infamous red wedding of Season Three.
HBO
62/70 9. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
There would be no Game of Thrones without Littlefinger. The silver-tongued manipulator had Jon Arryn killed, triggering a snowball that turned into an avalanche. As intelligent as it may be, Littlefinger was finally dominated by his own pupil, Sansa Stark.
HBO
63/70 8. Brienne of Tarth
Brienne is a rebaduring force of good in a world filled with idlers. She is also one of the deadliest. She spent a lot of time on the series protecting personalities such as Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark and Jaime Lannister, the latter making an interesting turn by putting it at odds with his loyalty.
HBO
64/70 7. Sansa Stark
Sansa may have had the most interesting story of all Thrones characters. An annoying and clichy teenager, she has gradually become a murderer, able to hold Winterfell and thwart Littlefinger. With a little luck, she could sit on the iron throne when the war is over.
HBO
65/70 6. Sandor "the dog" Clegane
From his regular delivery of the phrase "F ** the King" to this The chicken scene, The Hound is a reckless creation whose high ranking on this list can be attributed to the burning performance of Rory McCann. More effective when he is badociated with Arya Stark.
HBO
66/70 5. Joffrey Baratheon
No character was as much hated by the fandom as Joffrey. His nasty manners and disgusting behavior haunted the first four seasons of the series. You never knew what would happen next: if he was going to behead your favorite character or scream at his mother. The TV was thrilling. But, as the dog says, "F ** k the king".
HBO
67/70 4. Catelyn Stark
Winterfell's lady, Catelyn Stark, became the honorary star of the show after the premature decapitation of her husband, Ned (Sean Bean) at the end of season 1. While she was trying to take control of the events in Spiral in the second and third innings, Thrones has been seen entrusting its most resistant character. Michelle Fairley's throaty yelling cry before the tragic end of the red wedding will always be the most horrific moment of the series.
HBO
68/70 3. Jaime Lannister
If the characters above Jaime in this list are the biggest characters in the series, Jaime is the most disarming of the series. Lannister's brother – the Kingslayer – began the series as a long-haired villain of the highest order, but his humility in recent seasons has made him deeply into the hearts of viewers.
HBO
69/70 2. Tyrion Lannister
Blamed for the death of his mother and hated to be a dwarf, Tyrion turned to alcohol and prostitutes to numb the pain. However, Tyrion has a fierce intellect, able to thwart the toughest enemies (and offering cut lines which George RR Martin often needs several weeks to write). More importantly, although betrayed and rejected many times, Tyrion only selflessly wants the best for the people of Westeros. A real hero.
HBO
70/70 1. Cersei Lannister
The mad queen, alone on the iron throne. Cersei saw his three children die during his seven seasons, chased his brother or lover, blew up a church with half a dozen main characters inside, arranged the death of her husband (King Robert ) and tried to have another brother (Tyrion) killed several times. Yet, thanks to Lena Headey's emphatic performance, you are always sorry for the terrifying Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. As the most complicated character ever to have reached television screens, his place as the best Thrones character to date is undeniable.
HBO
1/70 70. Rickon Stark
Undoubtedly the most annoying Stark kid – an impressive feat next to Bran – Rickon's at least seen giving a damn scene of death: carried off by an arrow gracefully provided by Ramsay Bolton.
HBO
2/70 69. Robin Arryn
Most Thrones fans remember Robin Arryn as the 10-year-old bad-fed (still strange) mother. That's about it.
HBO
3/70 68. Renly Baratheon
The Rickon of the Baratheon brothers. His claim to the iron throne was tenuous, considering that his older brother, Stannis, was still alive. When the monster from Stannis' shadow came to kill him, it was only good news for the series.
HBO
4/70 67. sheet
Leaf, one of the mythical Children of the Forest series, is perhaps mysterious, but his noble sacrifice to save Bran, Meera and Hodor from a horde of warriors robbed him of any value.
HBO
5/70 66. Tommen Baratheon
Another boring younger brother. While Joffrey was pure evil, Tommen was innocent and inevitably very boring. Her cat, Ser Pounce, was an badet to the show.
HBO
6/70 65. Lysa Arryn
Lysa, Catelyn Stark's frightening sister, was seen for the first time with Robin Arryn, her 10-year-old son, tied to his chest. His death – being pushed through the moon gate – could not have happened sooner.
HBO
7/70 64. Benjen Stark
Having disappeared in the first season, Benjen returned in the sixth season to save his nephew, Bran. The moment was a surprise for viewers – book readers, however, had long speculated that Coldhands was an undead version of the Stark.
HBO
8/70 63. Syrio Forel
The unhappy appearance of Syrio in season 1 was a formative experience for an Arya Stark (Maisie Williams); It's him who helped her become the avenging murderer that fans know and love today.
HBO
9/70 62. Jeor Mormont
Jorah Mormont's father, Jeor was an honorable leader of Night Watch – perhaps through a fault. After giving Long Snow's sword to Jon Snow, Mormont inadvertently showed the Stark bastard that Valerian's steel could cut through the White Walkers.
HBO
10/70 61. Roose Bolton
Let's be honest: it's hard to like a character like Roose Bolton, the man who orchestrated the violent Red Wedding – the most infamous scene of the six-year history of the series that saw the death of Robb, Catelyn and Talisa.
HBO
11/70 60. Ellaria Sand
Ellaria Sand may have been a more seductive creation on the page, but in the series, her on-screen time unfortunately returns to react when loved ones are killed in a more and more horrible way.
HBO
12/70 59. Grand Maester Pycell
Pycell had secretly seen many things in his day, but there is an element of "unsatisfied potential" in Glover's character whose late betrayal of Cersei Lannister put a scary end to his luxury life at King's. Landing.
HBO
13/70 58. three-eyed raven
Perhaps it was Max von Sydow's cast that reinforced the anticipation for the three-eyed crow of the series, but the story without conviction leaves much to be desired.
HBO
14/70 57. Gilly
Gilly's long journey from Craster's Donjon to Winterfell seems exciting on paper. But, unfortunately, she was a pbadenger for too long in Sam's trip.
HBO
15/70 56. Daario Naharis
The man who won the heart of Daenerys Targaryen, only to be left behind at Essos. Ed Skrein played the character originally, but was soon replaced after the actor got a role in Deadpool.
HBO
16/70 55. Shae
Oh Shea. His unfortunate betrayal – sleeping with Tywin (Charles Dance) – was a slap in the face not only for his lover Tyrion, but also for the viewer.
HBO
17/70 54. gray worm
Chief of Usulliés, the Gray Worm remains unshakable – except around Missandei. Although their romance can be comforting, it is difficult to invest in two characters also in wood.
HBO
18/70 53. Talisa Maegyr
To be fair to Robb Stark's wife, Talisa, if she had avoided being murdered in the most horrific way during the red wedding, she would have probably been higher on this list. Alas.
HBO
19/70 52. Shireen Baratheon
All that Shireen, who was suffering from greyness, had always wanted to read, was to read stories in her room, but because of her tireless father, Stannis, she was tragically reduced to ashes after being sacrificed to the Lord of the Light.
HBO
20/70 51. Viserys Targaryen
Viserys wanted at all costs the iron throne, giving his own sister in exchange for an army. Dany, however, had other projects. Her new husband, Khal Drogo, covering Viserys from melted gold was one of the most memorable death scenes in the series.
HBO
21/70 50. Maester Luwin
The kind Maester Luwin was one of the friendliest characters of the first seasons, becoming a substitute father for Bran and Rickon, while the Starks endured horrors elsewhere. He was finally killed when Ramsay Bolton took over Winterfell.
HBO
22/70 49. Thoros of Myr
Thoros spent most of his time on the resurrecting Beric show and was recently seen brandishing his flaming sword alongside Jon Snow behind the wall.
HBO
23/70 48. Mance Rayder
Ciaran Hinds brought an intensity to Mance Rayder, a character who would otherwise be lost in the crowd. En conséquence, sa mort aux mains de Mélisandre fut inattendue.
HBO
24/70 47. Podrick Payne
Fidèle à ses habitudes, Podrick Payne est devenu le favori des fans pour son courage étonnant face à l’adversité. Lui et Brienne de Tarth forment un excellent duo.
HBO
25/70 46. Euron Greyjoy
Alors qu’Euron Greyjoy n’a rejoint le salon que dans la sixième saison, sa présence a tout de suite été ressentie. Un personnage générique, la nature égoïste et avide de pouvoir de Greyjoy s’est avérée pbadionnante à regarder.
HBO
26/70 45. Jaqen H'ghar
Jaqen H'ghar – un des hommes sans visage de Braavos – avait une telle promesse, mais finit par être celui qui avait sonné l'histoire d'Arya de l'énergie qu'elle avait eue auparavant, aux côtés de The Hound (Rory McCann).
HBO
27/70 34. Missandei
Missandei a réussi d’une manière ou d’une autre à réussir des atouts dans le nouvel ordre mondial, en étant le conseiller de Dany. Cependant, sa nature sur pilotis peut rendre certaines rencontres difficiles, mais au moins elle et Grey Worm sont heureux ensemble.
HBO
28/70 43. Ygritte
Ygritte – l'amant de Wild Snowling de Jon Snow – fera partie de la légende de Thrones pour avoir fourni à la série la célèbre phrase souvent citée: "Vous ne savez rien, Jon Snow." Parlé avec un accent du nord, évidemment.
HBO
29/70 42. Hot Pie
Un acteur a-t-il déjà été plus adapté à un rôle? Après tout, Ben Hawkey a ensuite dirigé sa propre boulangerie, vendant même des produits à thème Thrones.
HBO
30/70 41. Walder Frey
Un des orchestrateurs du mariage rouge, Walder Frey était un méchant chahuteur et terrifiant. Quand Arya se démasque et tue le vieil homme, c'est un doux et doux moment de vengeance.
HBO
31/70 40. Bran Stark
Cela en dit long sur le fait que Bran Stark est devenu légèrement plus intéressant depuis qu'il a sacrifié sa personnalité pour devenir le cœur spiritualiste de la série. Son rôle dans la dernière saison devrait être énorme, avec la théorie de longue date selon laquelle il pourrait devenir le redoutable Night King.
HBO
32/70 39. Gendry
Le véritable héritier du trône de fer. Gendry a peut-être pbadé quelques saisons à ramer en mer, mais son retour laisse entrevoir de grandes choses à venir pour le bâtard de Baratheon.
HBO
33/70 38. Yara Greyjoy
Lily Allen était initialement recherchée pour le rôle de la sœur de Theon. Cependant, elle a refusé: "Je me sentais mal à l'aise parce que j'aurais dû monter à cheval et qu'il m'aurait touché et foutu." Considérant que le frère d'Allen, Alfie, avait déjà été choisi pour Theon, c'était probablement pour le mieux.
HBO
34/70 37. Robert Baratheon
Mark Addy a apporté une certaine gravitas à Robert Baratheon, faisant de lui un roi terriblement fatigué. Bien que n'ayant que quelques scènes, la présence de son personnage se fait toujours sentir dans la série grâce à Gendry.
HBO
35/70 36. Barristan Selmy
Après avoir été congédié par les Lannister, Selmy a prêté serment d’allégeance à Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), comblant ainsi l’écart qui sépare deux des personnages principaux de la série. C'était aussi un bon guerrier.
HBO
36/70 35. Margaery Tyrell
Margaery Tyrell a été l’un des plus grands joueurs de Game of Thrones. Elle a débuté dans la politique de la famille Lannister et est devenue reine pour un sort. Son nombre était au moment où elle s'était fait l'ennemi de Cersei, et sa mort par le feu, bien que décevante, était un moment énorme.
HBO
37/70 34. Osha
Osha sous-utilisé était notre tout premier sauvageon, un danger imprévisible qui menaçait un couteau pour les personnages que nous aimions. Her subsequent evolution into Stark servant was interestingly played, which made the fact she was sidelined for multiple seasons, before being brought back just to be unceremoniously offed, a travesty.
HBO
38/70 33. Samwell Tarly
There's a theory going around that Samwell Tarly, who trains as a maester, is actually the author of the Song of Ice and Fire − AKA the book series. In other words, Sam is George RR Martin. Go figure.
HBO
39/70 32. The Mountain
The hulking Clegane brother known as The Mountain − now a zombie-esque servant to Cersei − may not have come face-to-face with lots of characters in the series, but his presence is known by all in Westeros. His biggest moment? Battering poor Oberyn's head into mush.
HBO
40/70 31. Ramsay Bolton
Ramsey cut off Theon's penis and sent it to the Greyjoy's father. He imprisoned and raped Sansa Stark. He killed Rickon Stark in front of his brother. And Ramsay eventually died by being fed to his own dogs. A terrifying death for a terrible human.
HBO
41/70 30. Night King
The embodiment of evil. Why, exactly, the Night King marches South to destroy mankind remains somewhat a mystery. But, whatever the reason, he's a terrifying foe. Winter has, as the Starks say, finally come.
HBO
42/70 29. Beric Dondarrion
Beric danced on the outskirts of the series until its third season when he surfaced as the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners. His introduction paved the way for the Lord of Light's ability to resurrect the dead, a mystical sub-plot that would become very important for Jon Snow.
HBO
43/70 28. Theon Greyjoy
While Theon starts as a bady kid, after being neutered by Ramsay he becomes the annoyingly weak Reek. Thankfully, Theon comes back around again in the later seasons, but not without us still hating his guts for not saving Sansa sooner.
HBO
44/70 27. Khal Drogo
To the world he's now Aquaman, but for a brief time, Jason Momoa was Khal Drogo, the beloved Dothraki husband of his Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
HBO
45/70 26. The High Sparrow
While at first a seemingly wise old man, the High Sparrow quickly becomes a tactical villain, using his newfound powers under King Tommen to turn King's Landing into his own domain.
HBO
46/70 25. Jon Snow
Every show needs a hero, and they do not come more obvious than Jon Snow. Rising from discarded bastard to King of the North, his climb has been one of the show's best storylines. A shame, then, that Snow can be such a bland person, doing only what is right and seemingly having no faults.
HBO
47/70 24. Stannis Baratheon
With his propensity to make tough decisions for the greater good, Stannis could have been a heroic warrior. However, the Baratheon brother's continual fall from grace − including sacrificing his own daughter and murdering his own brother − were horrendous decisions that eventually doomed him.
HBO
48/70 23. Hodor
Once you get over the fact that Kristian Nairn was essentially getting paid to repeat the word "Hodor" over and over, it's hard to deny that Bran Stark's protector was a heartwarming addition to the show. His death − the breathtaking "Hold the Door" sequence − will go down as one of the show's most memorable moments.
HBO
49/70 22. Melisandre
Lest we forget that Melisandre is actually a shrivelled old witch who has been manipulating men for hundreds of years. Her faith in the Lord of Light, though, could very well be misplaced.
HBO
50/70 21. Tywin Lannister
Stannis was a horrible father. His two favourite children became incestuous lovers, and he blamed his youngest for the death of his wife. Without Tywin, though, the Lannister family would not be nearly as riveting as they are to watch.
HBO
51/70 20. Arya Stark
Arya Stark, arguably the greatest character of the first few seasons, was one of the biggest victims of the series overtaking George RR Martin's source material. Her limited screen time, due to being away from the central action, robbed us of clbadic moments, of which we're sure she'll be at the heart in the eighth and final season.
HBO
52/70 19. Tormund Giantsbane
Tormund has some of the best lines in the series, particularly when expressing his admiration for Brienne. Here's one of the least explicit: "I want to make babies with her. Think of it. Great big monsters. They'll conquer the world!"
HBO
53/70 18. Oberyn
Few shows can bring in characters midway through their run that have such an impact as Oberyn. The Viper quickly became a fan favourite, and his death remains one of the show's most squirm-inducing moments.
HBO
54/70 17. Olenna Tyrell
Olenna's scenes were always ones to cherish. The Queen of Thorns was as cunning as the best of them and seemed like she could worm her way out of any situation, all from the comfort of her own chair.
HBO
55/70 16. Jorah Mormont
Poor Ser Jorah. Dany may be 25 years younger than him, but that never stopped the disgraced warrior from loving her. He even fought off Grey Scale to fight by her side. If that's not true love, then what is?
HBO
56/70 15. Davos Seaworth
Liam Cunningham's performance as the curt Davos Seaworth has quietly been one of the best things about the series since his introduction. As Jon Snow's kingly advisor, he's recently seen himself thrust into the heart of the series and, simply put, Game of Thrones would be a less enjoyable show without him.
HBO
57/70 14. Eddard "Ned" Stark
Killing off a main character during a show's first season was practically unheard of before Game of Thrones. Yet, as dictated by George RR Martin's books, they cut off Sean Bean's head without a second thought, setting the tone for everything to come. No death has impacted the Thrones quite as much since.
HBO
58/70 13. Daenerys Targaryen
"Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grbad Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons." Every time Dany meets someone new, she forces Missandei to read out her entire CV. I guess everyone would if theirs was as impressive. Dany really has had a great journey to the top − a shame she could not have come to Westeros slightly earlier.
HBO
59/70 12. Varys
Early on in the series, it was hard to pin down Varys, a slippery eel of a character who has "little birds" fluttering around Westeros, feeding back crucial information. Going into the final season, his true intentions are clear: he's all for Daenerys taking the Iron Throne, even if he doesn't live to see the day (“I have to die in this strange country, just like you," Melisandre prophesied last season).
HBO
60/70 11. Bronn
Perhaps the show's best wise-cracking side-kick, Bronn only has one loyalty: money. Paired with either of the Lannister lads, Tyrion or Jaime, Bronn makes for excellent company.
HBO
61/70 10. Robb Stark
Before Bodyguard, Richard Madden was the extremely temporary king of Westeros. Robb was a man of honour, trying to bring light to the Thrones universe. He was a likeable presence who ruled with his heart, an act that ultimately saw him die during the infamous Red Wedding in season three.
HBO
62/70 9. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
There would be no Game of Thrones without Littlefinger. The silver-tongued manipulator had Jon Arryn killed, setting off a snowball that turned into an avalanche. As smart as he may have been, Littlefinger was finally outplayed by his own pupil, Sansa Stark.
HBO
63/70 8. Brienne of Tarth
Brienne is a rebaduring force of good in a world filled with scheming layabouts. She's also one of the most deadly. Her time on the series has been spent protecting the likes of Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark and Jaime Lannister, the latter of which made for an interesting turn as it put her at odds with her loyalty.
HBO
64/70 7. Sansa Stark
Sansa has perhaps had the most interesting story arc of any character on Thrones. Beginning as a clichéd annoying teenager, she gradually became a stone-cold killer, capable of holding Winterfell and outsmarting even Littlefinger. With any luck, she could sit upon the Iron Throne when the war is over.
HBO
65/70 6. Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
From his regular delivery of the phrase"F** the king" to this chicken scene, The Hound is a reckless creation whose high ranking on this list can be attributed to the searing performance from Rory McCann. Most effective when paired with Arya Stark.
HBO
66/70 5. Joffrey Baratheon
No character has been as hated by the fandom as Joffrey. His wicked ways and disgusting behaviour haunted the show's first four seasons. You never knew what was going to come next: whether he was about to behead your favourite character or start crying to his mother. It made for thrilling television. But, as The Hound says, "F**k the King".
HBO
67/70 4. Catelyn Stark
The lady of Winterfell, Catelyn Stark, became the show's honorary lead after the untimely beheading of her husband, Ned (Sean Bean) at the end of season one. As she tried to take control of spiralling events in the second and third run, Thrones was handed its most resilient character. Michelle Fairley's guttural cry of anguish before meeting her tragic end during the Red Wedding will always be the show's most horrific moment.
HBO
68/70 3. Jaime Lannister
If the characters above Jaime in this list are the show's greatest characters, Jaime is the show's most disarming. The Lannister brother − the Kingslayer − started the series as a long-haired bad guy of the tallest order, but his humbling over the past few seasons have seen him inch his way into the hearts of viewers.
HBO
69/70 2. Tyrion Lannister
Blamed for the death of his mother and hated for being a dwarf, Tyrion turned to drink and prostitutes to numb the pain. However, Tyrion has a fierce intellect, capable of outsmarting the toughest enemies (and offering cutting lines that George RR Martin says often take weeks to write). More importantly, despite being betrayed and cast away time and time again, Tyrion selflessly only wants the best for the people of Westeros. A true hero.
HBO
70/70 1. Cersei Lannister
The Mad Queen, alone on the Iron Throne. Cersei has, over the course of seven seasons, seen her three children die, driven her lover/brother away, blown up a church with a half dozen major characters inside, arranged the death of her husband (King Robert) and attempted to have her other brother (Tyrion) killed multiple times. Yet, thanks to Lena Headey's empathetic performance, you still feel sorry for the terrifying Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. As one of the most complicated character to have ever reached television screens, there's no denying her place as the best Thrones character to date.
HBO
The show will be available on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
