The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" ended a few days ago and somehow I have the feeling that the eighth is terribly far away. All of the material on the series can not hold a candle to even one episode, but the quirkiness of the subject at least gently calms us, that we continue to think about our favorite characters.
When we talk about them, they are not gone, right?
The last episode left us in the emotional bustle of love and eroticism, something very unusual for the show, but we are sure that in the last season that awaits us (probably in 2019) there will be still much blood, violence and death - served as only GoT can do it!
Until then let's recall the most dramatic deaths we witnessed in the show. From season one to seventh season.
WARNING! The frames in the gallery contain brutal scenes!
The way Sansa Stark organized Ramsey Bolton's murder has made us respect the small, grown-up girl from the North
The Death of Joffrey Barateon brought a lot of joy to the fans of the show, but it was not one of the most pleasant to watch. As it became clear, the Queen of Thorns was responsible for it - Olena Tyrell, when ironically, she was also poisoned
Peter Baelish was among the most skillful players in the throne game. Until the end. But he didn't predict that "blood is not water". Wrong move, Peter. Without you in the last season
The beautiful Shae will never again call Tyrrion or his father "My Lion" after her last encounter with the dwarf
The Death of Tywin Lannister was not very heroic. Still, being murdered by your son with a harpoon while sitting on the toilet is eccentric, no dispute there
When Ned Stark's head rolled under the sword of Sir Ilin Payne in the last episode of the first season, we did not believe it. Eddard Stark was like the main character in the show. Then, we still did not know that the Game of Thrones loves to kill its main characters.
Yet!
The scene with the golden crown with Viserys Targeryen was certainly among the most brutal in the series
Khal Drogo himself was also reached by a dramatic fate after he came close to resemble Jack Nicholson at the end of "Flight over Cuckoo's Nest"
Prince Tommen could not withstand his mother's caring concern for the kingdom and suicide himself. Goodbye, Prince Tomen. He was a wonderful boy, but he just did not fit into this cruel world
Princess Myrcella died in the hands of her father. It was so dramatic, because she was one of the few innocent heroes in the show. Alas, she became a weapon of revenge in the hands of Ellaria Sand
The Red Wedding that took place in the house of Frey was one of the most terrifying events in the history of television. The stabbing of the pregnant Thalia Stark, the cut of Caitlin's throat and the stabbing of Robb's heart, would forever remain one of the most shocking deaths in the series
Ygritte died, pierced by an arrow, in the hands of John Snow, who symbolically betrayed the Night Watch as he slept with her in a cave. It is reassuring that the actress, portraying Ygritte - Rose Lesley, is a Kitt Harrington girlfriend in real life. Or it is not?
Still, what Melisandre did, the burning of a little girl on a pyre, no one else has been able to achieve with such vigor and cruelty. If she had not revived John Snow, she would probably be the most hated hero after Joffrey.
No matter who you like or not, or for whom you cheer to sit in the throne in the end, the most important thing is that these series makes us fall in love with television, storytelling and character all over again.
It amaze us, shock us and makes us watch week after week!
