Cersei Lannister's Walk of Shame during Sunday night's episode of Game of Thrones was not only one of the most memorable moments of the Season 5 finale but also of the whole season. The six-minute sequence showed Cersei having all of her hair cut off, being stripped and then being forced to walk for miles through a rowdy crowd in King's Landing.
