Here’s A Game Of Thrones Death Reel To Brighten Your Day

Of the many lessons we learned from the fourth season of Game of Thrones, chief among them was this: Life is fleeting. Or fragile. Or precious. Okay, so we're not exactly sure what we learned. We do know that the inhabitants of George R. R. Martins's weird, wild fantasy world don't last very long. And, when they do eventually bite the dust, it's, er, pretty gruesome. Need proof? You've come to the right place. Below is a pretty stunning compilation of every death from season four. The two-minute clip is a stark reminder of how violent HBO's hit show really is. Stabbings, axings, crossbow-ings, it doesn't matter. If it stops you from breathing, it's fair game in Westeros. Obviously, spoilers ahead.
