13 Shocking Game of Thrones Deaths: Where Does That Season 5 Twist Rank?

Every season of Game of Thrones is packed with jaw-dropping violence, and season 5 was no exception. 

Over the years we've seen beheadings, poisonings, death by infected boo-boo (RIP, Khal Drogo), a man getting shot by an arrow while being burned (pour one out for Mance Rayder), even the old "molten gold dumped over the head" trick.

But even with all those grisly shockers, no one (aside from the smug spoiler machines who read the books!) could have predicted the astonishing final moments of Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 10.

Is Jon Snow dead? If so, will he be raised by Melisandre, bro-down with the Night's King, and take revenge on the traitors who stabbed him?

We won't know for several months (Even the book-readers can't spoil this one!), but for now we're declaring Jon Snow DOA , just like the rest of these poor SOBs. 

Like his namesake element, Snow may be back next season, but for now, he's earned a spot on our list of Game of Thrones most memorable deaths:

 

 

1. Viserys Gets Crowned

Viserys was up there with King Joffrey in terms of douchebags we loved to hate. Even so, his death by molten gold is tough to watch.

2. The Death of King Joffrey

Joffrey’s death wasn’t particularly gory but it WAS unexpected. And it certainly wasn’t unwelcome.

3. The Red Wedding

Possibly the most shocking moment the series has offered up thus far. That GRRM certainly knows how to shock and appall.

4. Oberyn Martell vs. The Mountain

Surely, one of the most gruesome deaths in the history of television. We even feel bad for the witnesses.

5. Tyrion Gets His Revenge

Tywin and Shae learned a valuable lesson: Don’t mess with the Imp. Unfortunately, it’s too late for them to do anything with that knowledge.

6. Mande Rayder Swekered at His Own Barbecue!

Mance Rayder was spared a brutal death on Game of Thrones. He still died, of course…it just wasn’t quite as brutal.
