Every Episode Of Game Of Thrones, Ranked

Game of Thrones is, finally, coming to an end, with the show’s eighth and final season set to premiere on Sunday night after a nearly 18-month hiatus. The meme generator masquerading as a prestige television program has been on the air since 2011 and, in the eight years since, has ridden the dragons of murder, sex, incest, and political drama towards what’s sure to be, if nothing else, an undeserved conclusion.

More than anything, though, Game of Thrones has been a collection of gasp-worthy moments unlike anything else on television: From Ned Stark’s beheading, through the Red Wedding and motherfucking HARDHOME, and finally with the season seven finale that tore down an ancient protection for the realms of men.
