season 6 finale. Do not proceed until you\'ve seen it!

following up an explosive episode 9 with a quiet finale has become the standard formula – but not this year!

Wrapping up the HBO hit\'s sixth season, \'The Winds of Winter\' was perhaps the most bloodthirsty episode to date.

Sure, episodes like \'Blackwater\', \'Hardhome\' and even \'The Battle of the Bastards\' might have had a higher overall body count.

But in terms of offing major characters, this was the biggest sweep since the Red Wedding - it even killed off six of them in one fell swoop!

Here\'s a complete rundown of everyone who kicked the bucket in \'The Winds of Winter\':

Grand Maester Pycelle (Julian Glover) - stabbed to death by Qyburn\'s little birds

Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon) - obliterated by Wildfire

Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) -  obliterated by Wildfire

Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones) - obliterated by Wildfire

Mace Tyrell (Roger Ashton-Griffiths) - obliterated by Wildfire

The High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) - obliterated by Wildfire

Septa Unella (Hannah Waddingham) - tortured to death by The Mountain

Tommen Baratheon (Dean-Charles Chapman) - jumps to his death from Red Keep

Walder Frey (David Bradley) - throat slit by Arya

Blimey. This mass of casualties leaves Cersei (Lena Headey) on the Iron Throne. But with DAT LOOK that Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) shot his sister / lover, maybe we shouldn\'t rule out the theory that he\'ll become the Queenslayer?
