Not only did last Sunday's "Hardhome" give us one of the most riveting and frightening action set pieces Game of Thrones has ever produced, but it ended things with a tense, dramatic "Come at me, Crow!" stare down between Jon Snow and a menacing icy overlord known as the Night's King.

The Night's King

That huge battle breathed new life into the season while also bringing to the forefront a new arch villain. Not that we hadn't seen the Night's King before, but this massacre saw him making a huge play for power. He was out for wildling blood, not off in some remote White Walker Walley World zapping babies into snow zombies.Last year, Season 4 rid us of both Joffrey and Tywin - two huge characters on the series. Both of whom were loathed and/or feared. When Season 5 started up, there were very few characters left to hate. All the villains had either been killed off or had moved into redemptive arcs, like The Hound and Jaime did (and this season, Stannis). This was a series known for its atrocities and now it hardly had anyone left to commit all the jaw-dropping butchery. Mance was gone, Tormund became a friend, and Daenerys' enemies have remained faceless.So who are the villains now? Who do we want to see die in a most miserable manner? Who's got a cosmic date with a poetic reckoning? Here's a look at the all the adversaries currently left on Game of Thrones. And as always, some "bad guys" are not cut and dry. Some are monsters while others are manipulators. Some are mad while others have motives.Okay, THIS guy we hate. He's still around and he's still a rotten, torturing prick. No redeeming qualities here. He was insufferable back when he was inflicting pain on a guy we hated. Now he's making Sansa's life a living hell. So yeah, disembowel this guy for sure.As one of the architects of the Red Wedding, and the guy who delivered the final heart stab to Robb Stark, this "Lannister Regards Sender" is the next evil-doer to be dealt with. Roose is more of a strategist than his bats*** bastard boy. More Tywin-like. Still, we won't stand for Winterfell being ruled by a guy whose house is built upon the idea of flaying people alive.Ah, the host with the most. It's unclear if Walder Frey will ever get what's coming to him. No one's currently gunning for the current Lord of the Riverlands and the guy's only made two appearances on the show in five years. All the same, someone needs to destroy this lump."Reek" seems like he might be in the midst of his own redemption arc right now, though blowing up Sansa's spot a few weeks back and ratting her out surely supported his eternal s*** list status.Oof. Now this mo-fo is terrifying. Winter's been on its merry way on the show ever since Ned Stark first complained about it back in the pilot episode. Well, now it's freakin' landed in our laps. Snow has started falling in the North and the Night's King is ready to strike. And anyone who falls in combat, good or bad, becomes a minion of his demented design.
