125.
Olly from the Nights Watch
Sheer relief was the primary emotion that greeted this treacherous little twerps death.
Walder Frey
Arya took her vengeance for the Red Wedding, and it was sweet.
As was the Frey pie accompanying it.
Craster
One of a number of simply horrible characters we were only too glad to be rid of.
That list also includes:
121.
Karl Tanner
Burn Gormans very nasty Nights Watch Mutineer got a very nasty teeth-cleaning.

119.
Othell Yarwyck and Bowen Marsh
Jon Snows assassins who got left hanging.
Rast
Here is another Nights Watch Mutineer, one who literally stabbed The Lord Commander in the back.
Biter
No tears were shed for this prisoner when his neck was snapped bythe Hound.
Polliver
This rotter should never have killed poor Lommy Greenhands What the fuck is a Lommy?
Pyat Pree
This creepy warlock of Qarth deserved to be roasted to a cinder.
Myranda
Theon saw that this messed-up kennel masters daughters life was cut short.
Then Ramsay saw that shed fill the stomachs of his hounds.
The Magnar of Thenn was ultimately no match for Jon Snow.
Mago
This Dothraki rider disrespected the wife of his khal, and paid the price.
Janos Slynt
The cowardly Slynt met his end by Longclaws blade.

100.
Khal Moro, Khal Rhalko and Khal Forzo
Khans are flammable, as it turns out.
Belicho Paenymion and Razdal Mo Eraz
The masters of Slavers Bay deserved everything they got.
Gregor The Mountain Clegane
…
Although it doesnt exactly stick…
97.
Ser Alliser Thorne
No tears for this hanged man.
Black Walder Frey and Lothar Frey
Ditto for the nasty Freys.
Smalljon Umber
Thats what happens when you chose the Boltons over the Starks.
Good riddance to the man largely responsible for many of the other deaths on this list.
The High Sparrow
He got creepier and more chilling with every appearance.
Its not much of an honor.
Plus, he foisted Ramsay on the world.
Balon Greyjoy
Did he have any redeeming qualities?
Doreah and Xaro Xoan Doxos
To be honest, they were both getting kind of annoying anyway.
Hizdahr zo Loraq
Ditto.
Lord Randyll Tarly
He was mean to Sam.
Lord Rickard Karstark
We know he was upset, but murdering children in their cells is never the answer.
Ser Vadys Eagen
Dont take on Bronn is the lesson of this one.
Black Jack Bulwer and Kegs (and Mully)
Wildlings did for these Nights Watchmen in Molestown.
Ghita
Euthanized for the Many-Faced God of Death.
Oznok Zo Pahl
As Daario did for old Oznok.
Ser Amory Lorch
Was another of Aryas three-life repayment plan from Jaqen Hgar.
Ralf Kenning and Adrack Humble
Flaying was so not a good look for these Ironborn.
The Thirteen
Mess with Targaryen fire, youre going to get burned.
Harrag
Trying to stop Theon from rescuing Yara.
Loboda
A Wildling who should have listened to Jon in the first place.
Waymar Royce
Nights Watchman is a perilous job, as Waymar Royce found out the hard way.
Gared
As did poor Gared.
Will
And poor Will, the Nights Watch deserter.
If only somebody had listened to him.
Ser Hugh
Speaking of parlousness, jousting can be fatal.
Tansy
Ramsay Snow, that grinning psycho, hunted this poor girl down like a dog.
Mossador
Who learned about Danys sense of justice the burny way.
Maester Cressen
You come at the Red Witch, you best not miss.
Karsi
A Wildling too cool and likeable to survive for longer than 15 minutes.
Areo Hotah
Was barely given the time to make an impact on the TV show.
Mace Tyrell
Wait, he wasnt already dead?
Uncle Kevan Lannister
Were amazed he lasted so long, to be honest.
The Three-Eyed Raven
Stupid, impatient, Bran.
Not that we werent also impatient to get to the point of the Tower of Joy sequence.
Leaf
Brans body count is really starting to go up.
Trystane Martell
He was young, so thats mildly sad.
Otherwise, more or less a non-entity.
Doran Martell
We love Alexander Siddig, but TV Doran really didnt do anything.
Viserys Targaryen
He was awful through and through.
But does anyone deserve molten gold poured on their head?
Actually, Viserys might.
Lysa Arryn
At least now neither Sansa nor the audience ever have to listen to her have sex again.
Joyeuse Frey
It wasnt her fault her gropey old husband violated guests right in the most despicable way possible.
Nor that he couldnt care less what happened to her.
Alton Lannister
Well, Jaime had to dosomethingin season 2, we suppose.
But not cool, Jaime.
Ser Dontos Hollard
Not the sharpest tool in the box, this one.
Martyn and Willem Lannister
They werent especially important characters, but they were young children.
Lommy
Not the most pleasant child around, but still a child.
At least his death was avenged by Arry, though.
Mycah
Wrong place, wrong time.
Lady Crane
Never give a shot to help Arya Stark seems to be the lesson here.
Unless youre a badass ninja who can change faces, of course.
So, really, its hard to get too worked up about Ellarias own, genuinely unpleasant, demise.
The show is calledGame of Thrones,and at the beginning, hes the one sitting on the throne.
So, while his death is sad, its so necessary that its actually rather easy to overlook.
In Westeros, thats a pretty stunning achievement.
But well miss him, and the Watch is certainly the poorer without him.
Irri and Rahkaro
These two were just too nice to survive in Westeros or Essos.
Benjen Stark #2
Barely two seconds on screen, and hes gone again.
After all that searching for him in the early seasons, what a waste.
Jojen Reed
We liked Jojen, but we mostly feel sorry for Meera.
Tywin Lannister
Well all miss Charles Dance and his awesomeness but Tywin was a terrible, terrible father.
And for that, he had to die.
Jeor Mormont
He had to go, because ofplot.
But we were sad.
Wun Wun
Ramsay just had to get in one more arrow, didnt he?
Osha
Osha was a great character, beautifully played by Natalia Tena and always fun to watch.
Rickon Stark
The only reason Rickon rates so highly on this list is because hes a Stark.
Poor Rickon didnt even get a single line before adding to Ramsays list of kills in season 6.
Basically, he was metaphorically stuffed in a refrigerator to motivate Jon Snow.
Joffrey Baratheon
Yes, he was one of TVs most despicable characters.
Yes, wed all been baying for his blood for so long that his death felt almost overdue.
But after hearing Shireens screams, we couldnt see him finished off fast enough.
Lets hope theyre appropriately grateful.
At least Grenn got a pretty cool final scene.
Renly Baratheon
Ah, Renly.
So charming, so quick to laugh.
So forward-thinking with his female Kingsguard.
So sweetly in love.
Alas, he was gone too soon.
But then, thats probably the point.
Olenna Tyrell
And there goes the last of the Tyrells.
We had hoped that Olenna would at least be able to avenge her grandchildren.
Nicely played, Olenna.
Jory Cassel
The first really significant or surprising death, this.
Syrio Forel
Tempered only by the tiny thread of hope some bear that perhaps hes still alive.
We didnt see him die and we didnt see a body.
Head-canon is a beautiful place.
Lady and Grey Wind
Yes, the direwolves are higher up this list than a lot of the humans.
And since Ned being forced to execute her, it only becomes more horrid.
Grey Winds demise, meanwhile, is part of the enormous tragedy of the Red Wedding.
Viserion
Perhaps the biggest shock of season 7, this loss of one of Danys children hits hard.
Jon Snow
We all knew he wasnt really dead, anyway.
Ser Rodrick Cassel
Gods help you, Theon Greyjoy.
Now you are truly lost.
Oberyn Martell
Like Khal Drogo, Oberyn was brought down by his own confidence.
Well never be able to ask anyone to hold the door again.
Ned Stark
What can we say that hasnt been said?
Robb and Catelyn Stark
We couldnt separate these two.
Which is more upsetting?
