When I first heard of Game Of thrones the only words that were used to describe it where sex, blood and dragons…and I was sold. It kinda sucks that in today’s day and age, with how blunt and bored we are, that we don’t appreciate good storytelling and solid characters, so much so that to keep us interested there has to be a sickening twist to everything. I think that’s why we love GOT so much. It combines all of our favourite things and constantly keeps us on the edge of our seat as we desperately cling onto the stories and characters that George R.R Martin has created. We saw the sad beheading of Ned Stark (Sean Bean) in season 1 and then the subsequent deaths of Robb Stark (Richard Madden), his wife Talisa (Oona Chaplin) and his mother Catlyn (Michelle Fairley). It seems there is a running pattern with the Starks and we accepted it. Until they went one step too far.  Jon Snow was everyone’s favourite. The bastard of Winterfell, of the honourable Ned Stark, we all felt for him and fellow d him through everything, because he was the most relatable character, a boy who grew up in the shadow of his brother, no mother, never truly fitting in, vowing to make a name for himself as a man of the Nights Watch. He fell in love and lost and somehow managed to pick himself back up. We all connected because his life, much like our own had its ups and downs but predominantly sucked. And now, when we thought that he had finally gained the upper hand, when he had finally got what he always deserved he was killed…..stabbed multiple times by his “brothers” all because he made a decision for the greater good.

The readers spent a long time holding this particular fact close to their chests and lived in hope that this was not going to be the end of Jon Snow. Well now that season 5 is over we may have to come to the conclusion that it very well may be. Kit Harrington stated that the creators of the show have confirmed that he will not return. Whether I believe them or not is now out of the question because if it is true …that maybe the most stupidest fucking decision they have ever made. Having been invested in a character for so long and their point of view, we as viewers realise the importance of the character and his take on the world around him. What he was seeing and what he was responding to made sense. In fact there was rarely a situation where you didn’t think of him as an idiot. Not only where we invested in the character but the storyline itself. To be honest it was one of two that I actually gave a shit about, and now I think I’ll be bored half the time watching GOT from now on. Well I hope that that’s not true but it certainly feels likes it. It sucks and it was stupid, so if none of the resurrection theories are correct and he doesn’t worg into ghost at the very least…I’ve only got one thing to say to George R.R. Martin and the creators. On behalf of all us fans…go fuck yourselves.
