I know it's a bit early for this, but I would like you to start thinking about how you'd rank the seasons now that S6 is over. I still want to think about this too, so I can't tell you guys my ranking yet. I'll come back to you. Oh and instead of just doing a ranking, I would like you to name the three best episodes of each season too. I think it'll be fun to compare that.

Season 4 > Season 1 > Season 6 > Season 3 > Season 5 > Season 2. But all the seasons have been amazing, although for different reasons. . Just different levels of greatness.

Should've read @kairos post first Season 1- Fire and Blood - still holds up every time I watch it. Up until last night it was the best finale for me too
- The Wolf and the Lion - contains my favourite scene of my favourite character (see signature) and that amazing fight at the end and of course it also had the first incarnation of Cleganebowl
- Baelor - it's not all about Ned's execution, there's also the goings on in the Riverlands and Aemon's reveal
Honourable mention goes to You Win or You Die Season 6- The Winds of Winter - after much thought it beats Snowbowl for me. Perhaps my favourite episode of the series
- Battle of the Bastards - quite possibly my second favourite episode of the series I thought it was simply flawless
- Blood of My Blood - possibly a controversial choice (I suspect the Door will be many people's third) but I didn't have a problem with anything in this episode. From Horn Hill to Benjen's return to Arya to Dany - it was all fantastic
Honourable mention of course goes to The Door Season 4- The Lion and the Rose - while much of the praise is devoted to the wedding, equal praise from me goes to the Boltons and the Baratheon family dinner
- The Watchers on the Wall - I was initially a bit peeved that Stannis didn't show up at the end but now that I'm over that I realise it's a truly incredible episode
- The Laws of Gods and Men - very close with episode 8, the trial more than makes up for the somewhat lacklustre Dreadfort attack
Honourable mention to The Mountain and the Viper Season 3- The Rains of Castamere - duh, was there ever any doubt?
- And Now His Watch is Ended - another tough one with episode 5, the scenes at Craster's and Astapor remain some of the series' best
- Kissed By Fire - the baths at Harrenhal and the Hound's trial by combat
Honourable mention to Mhysa Season 5- Hardhome - flawless. First insight into Sapochnik's excellence
- The Dance of Dragons - contained one of the worst scenes of the season and one of the best scenes of the season. In this case the good outweighs the bad (sorry Shireen)
- Sons of the Harpy - tough choosing this one as the rest are pretty mediocre in comparison to 8 and 9. Although I absolutely hated that it happened, Barristan's fight was pretty cool, but the real stars are Stannis and Shireen
Honourable mention to ... nah I can't single any one of them out as better than the rest Season 2- Blackwater - fairly obvious choice, first time we saw the show could do action, and boy was it good
- What is Dead May Never Die - Greyjoys are the highlight here, the wordless scene of Theon burning the letter is one of the best in the season
- Valar Morghulis - Charles Dance riding down the throne room on a horse that's just taken a shit, nuff said
Honourable mention to Garden of Bones (Baratheon parley ) That took a lot longer than I expected it to

6) Season Two My least favourite season of Thrones, but overall still a good season of television, especially in comparison to other shows. What brings it down for me is that the entire season seems to be working towards one big climax without giving us a lot of highlights on the way. The two most important characters have their weakest season here (Jon and Dany) too, which was really disappointing after their great S1 arcs (especially Dany). However, there's still plenty of things to love about Season 2. The King's Landing arc was brilliantly done and led to one of the most iconic and legendary episodes ever: Blackwater. Tyrion was front and center there, but we also saw a lot of interesting dynamics between Cersei, Sansa and Joffrey. Catelyn also had quite a few great scenes despite being underused. Also, let's not forget the showrunners' great idea to pair up Arya with Tywin. Last but not least, this season introduced us to Team Dragonstone. I was never too big on Stannis, but Melisandre and Davos were great additions to the cast. Best episodes: What Is Dead May Never Die, A Man Without Honor, Blackwater 5) Season Four Putting this season so low on my list may be controversial. I'm aware that it is a fan favourite and I liked it too. However, I expected to like it a lot more considering the material they were adapting. For some reason almost all the big moments fell short for me or didn't quite reach the quality I wanted them to reach. A good example for this is the fight between Oberyn and Gregor: while the last moments were skull-crushingly amazing (ha ha ha! ba dum tss), the fight itself was messy and not well directed at all IMHO. Similarly, I felt underwhelmed by the PW and the Moon Door scene. What I was expecting to love ended up being underwhelming to me, but at the same time I was unexpectedly blown away by other scenes: e.g. Arya/Sandor/Polliver, Arya speaking about nothingness or Oberyn offering to be Tyrion's champion. Generally, I think Arya and Oberyn were the highlights of the season. Then there was Watchers On The Wall, an episode which I also loved. It improved my overall impression of the season A LOT. Best episodes: Two Swords, Mockingbird, The Watchers on the Wall 4) Season Five Ah, Season 5... the season that will forever split this fandom. It is not without flaws. In fact, it featured the most hated storyline ever: Dorne. And it also featured the most controversial storyline ever: Sansa in Winterfell. I agree about Dorne. It was awful and I'm not gonna waste time talking about it. I disagree about Sansa, though. I thought it made a lot of sense to put her front and center like that and considering what they did with that storyline in S6, I think that it was a very good idea. Moreover, I think Daenerys, Jon, Arya and Cersei had their strongest or second-strongest season in S5. Considering the importance of these characters, I cannot emphasize enough how much I think this season is underrated. Also: Hardhome. No need to say more. Just that. Hardhome. Best episodes: Kill The Boy, Hardhome, Mother's Mercy 3) Season Three Now it gets really interesting. Season 3 has been my second favourite season for a long time. I love it that much. In my opinion, it improved on a lot of issues S2 had. On the one hand, it also leads to one major climax (the RW), but at the same time the showrunners tried to give us more highlights on the way. Dracarys is still one of my favourite scenes ever. Absolutely amazing and I remember how I watched it over and over again when it first aired. Jaime has undoubtedly his strongest season here. I don't think anyone can dispute that. King's Landing was incredibly entertaining as well, which came as a surprise, because S3 is an adaptation of the first half of SoS and nothing much happens in KL in the first half of the book. But somehow KL ended up being very strong. S3 also gave us a lot of new characters: the Tullys and the BwB, which I loved. I won't ignore this season's flaws, though. 307 was a mediocre episode, the Mhysa scene was a bad ending and Catelyn was underused even more than in S2. But Jesus, the Red Wedding... For me it's still the best acted scene on this show. Absolutely gut-wrenching. Best episodes: And Now His Watch Is Ended, Second Sons, The Rains of Castamere 2) Season Six Yep, the newest season managed to outrank S3 on my list. I admit that I was afraid the writers would have a hard time with this season, considering they had no book to adapt. I'm SO glad I was wrong. In fact, I think having no more books actually gave them more freedom to write what they wanted and thus they exceled themselves. There is very little I disliked about this season. I think Arya's season could have been stronger and better paced but apart from that? Nope, it's an amazing season full of iconic scenes. 602-605 and 609-610 are insane. If 601 and 606-608 had been a little bit stronger, I think this would be my favourite season. But even these episodes have a lot of great stuff in them and I prefer them over a lot of older episodes (especially from S2). And then again, this season had: Jon's resurrection, the Jon/Sansa reunion, amazing Dany scenes, Hodor's death, Tower of Joy, Mad Queen Cersei, SNOWBOWL... Best episodes: Book of the Stranger, Battle of the Bastards, The Winds of Winter 1) Season One The season that started it all. I doubt that anything will ever top this for me. It's a perfect season of television. There is absolutely nothing I disliked about it. Admittedly, it's not the spectacle the show is today, but it's the season that has the best dialogue IMHO. I could watch any scene with Eddard or Robert and just enjoy the shit out of it. It's still Dany's best season, too. Having Viserys and Drogo with her helped a lot. Also, I think it's the thematically richest and most subtle season. I still find new things every time I rewatch it. Note that I'm NOT saying that S1 is the only good season of the show and that the show has become worse and worse since then. After all, S6 is my second favourite season. But something about S1 is just so damn elegant. It flows seamlessly and puts a lot of focus on dialogue and characters. It's a legendary season of television. Best episodes: You Win or You Die, Baelor, Fire and Blood
