Best episode

“The Dragon And The Wolf” (7.07) – no big battles but loads of intrigue, plotting, twists and the Wall being trashed.

Best death

olenna, Queen of Thorns, goes out in style in 7.03 – with no blood (shocker) and off-screen, but with one final barb for Cersei.

Best twist

Sansa’s wonderful piece of theatre in 7.07: “You stand accused of murder. You stand accused of treason. How do you answer these charges… Lord Baelish?”

scene change of the season

The transition from Sam ickily operating on Ser Jorah’s greyscale to a yokel eating some slop in a tavern in 7.02.

Battle of the season

The Lannister army versus dragonfire in 7.04 – it’s genuinely horrifying, and evokes comparisons with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
