The final season of Game of Thrones is here and it’s only a few more hours until I am vertical on the couch and glued to my TV screen.

Until then, the guys over at Variety have put together a list of the best episodes so far, ranging from that time Brienne fought a bear with a sparring sword to the red wedding.

There’s nothing on this list from season eight (yet) so no spoilers unless you haven’t watched season one to seven yet.

If you haven’t caught up, do it in 12 minutes here.

Here’s the top 15:

15. The Bear and the Maiden Fair

The one where Brienne fights a bear with a sword that’s basically a stick proving that she is a total badass.

14. The Climb

The one where all the wildlings climbed the wall giving Free Solo a run for its money.

13. Home

The one where John Snow was brought back from the dead.

12.The Lion and the Rose

The one where Joffrey finally dies. This is a firm favourite.

11. The Children

When Tyrion Kills his lover and father.

10. Winter is Coming

The first ever episode. Need we say more.

9. The Mountain and the Viper

When Mountain squashes Boeryn Martell’s head.

8.Baelor

The beheading of Ned Stark.

7. The Winds of Winter

Daenerys is on her way to destroy Cersei’s army.

6. The Door

Hodor dies and we see how powerful Bran’s abilities are.

“Hold the door”.

5.  The Spoils of War

Daenery’s dragons burn the Lannister forces.

4. The Rains of Castamere

I still haven’t forgiven them for the red wedding. Thankfully Arya Stark gets revenge in season 6 and 7.

3. Blackwater

Wildfire explosion and Cersei goes even crazier.

2. Battle of the Bastards

The battle with John Snow and Ramsey Bolton. Ramsey gets fed to his pets by Sansa which is very satisfying.

1. Hardhome

We see the power of the Night King for the first time.

You’re welcome.
