Can we bring out the valonqar, already?
Last week, we ranked the "Game of Thrones" characters based on their leadership abilities.
About a third of the characters from that list died in season six's brutal finale, and others showed more of their leadership skills during some significant plot developments.
So here's an update, based on the explosive, rallying, and altogether unappetizing events of last night's episode.
A few notes: This list only counts characters who are still alive on the show (not in the books). Also, it only takes into consideration individuals who could be counted as "leaders" - so more solitary characters who aren't currently in leadership roles aren't on here, like Arya Stark, Sandor Clegane, or Samwell Tarly. Lastly, it heavily favors things that happened this season. This list examines leadership ability, not overall power or importance.
Now, here are the leaders on "Game of Thrones" that survived last night's finale, ranked from worst to best:
