I'm mad there was no Benjen.

I'm pretty stupid for believing that shit rumor.

The Night’s Watch mutiny is definitely justified by the story. But we’ve also see his character grow and evolve as a leader over all these years and so it also just feels like that should all of that growth should pay off for something greater – more than the other characters we’ve seen die on the show. Obviously he’s accomplished plenty during his time at the Night’s Watch, bu there’s a feeling of, “that’s not what’s supposed to happen, he was destined for greater things.”
Yeah, but we have to go by what Thrones does. And Thrones treats drama as real life. And people die and don’t accomplish what we think they’re meant to in real life. And I think that’s one of the powerful things about Thrones. The major loss with Jon’s through-line is he never finds out who his mother is and that’s the heartbreaking thing for me.

Last year you said the one thing you really want is for your character to learn that.
And he doesn’t. So I don’t know. It’s really the way Thrones does things and I will be really interested to see audience reaction. I hope it’s not, “F–k yes, thank f–k he’s dead.”

I think they’ll be heartbroken—even those who are like, “Tyrion is my favorite character” or whatnot. You cannot have watched this show, and watch your character grow all these years, and not feel gut-kicked over the way your arc plays out.
I hope that’s the case.

I was talking to Dan Weiss and he said Jon is really dead. But George R.R. Martin left open the possibility the character might not be dead in the books. And then that cast salary contract story came out last year and it had your name among those receiving raises for season six and an option on a seventh. So let me ask you: Is Jon really dead?
This is my understanding of it. I had a sit-down with Dan and David, we did the Tony Soprano walk [letting an actor know they’re being whacked]. And they said, “Look, you’re gone, it’s done.” And as far as the salary thing goes, that angered me when that story came out. I don’t know where it came from, but it was inaccurate in many ways. It’s going to put questions into your head and into fans’ heads that things are not what they are. Quite honestly, I have never been told the future of things in this show, but this is the one time I have. They sat me down and said, “This is how it is.” If anything in the future is not like that, then I don’t know about it – it’s only in David and Dan and George’s heads. But I’ve been told I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m not coming back next season. So that’s all I can tell you, really.

thank goodness he knows nothing

Jon may be dead but he won't be for long. He's 100% going to be resurrected. The show made that pretty obvious I thought. Even if you couldn't tell from the hints in the show with Mellisandre's return, there's the fact that Kit has 2 more years left on his contract. Should get interesting.

I'm really rooting for Jon. And I hope he does get resurrected, I don't really care who he's resurrected as, either.

But even if he isn't brought back in any form, this picture somehow makes everything okay.

my big issue is this. in the book, the nightswatch is in the right for stabbing jon. hes not allowed to gather up his brothers to fight the boltons. but in the show, the brothers were just salty over the wildlings. that is not ok. they didnt end jon "for the watch", they did it because they didnt agree with him. dumb.

sansa will be fine.

pretty cool how they worked stannis's scene to make you wonder if hes dead or not.

not horrible, but far from the best finale. as a whole the season moved real slow, reminded me a lot of book 4.

How can they be in the right for stabbing Jon to death over gathering brothers to fight the Bolton's. That's pretty much the same exact thing as not agreeing with him about the wildlings. Anyways, my gripe is that it was painfully obvious to everyone that Jon was right about the white walkers and that even Jon didn't wanna have to join forces with the wildlings but knew there was no real choice.

Not to mention a lot of people saw him single handedly kill a white walker and they know the dude knows how to fight. Knowing there's an army of undead coming for you, you'd think you'd want as many people like Jon on your side as you can get. It's not like killing Jon some how gets rid of all of the wildlings that are still there so wtf was the point really?
