'ow much for your little clam?
Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I wish she would've killed that guy as well. No one messes with Arya
aside from the many faced god.

So this just struck me, but why the hell would the Watch kill Jon? The dude did something they didn't agree with, but killing him is a bit much, isn't it? They could have detained him or impeached him or something. Why go that far?
They're all a bunch of murdering assholes.
Most of them are just there because they were recruited from prisons.
Just finished catching up. I think I'm done with this show. That finale was bad imo and it made me realize just how little I care because of how disposable characters feel. Aryas story jumped the shark, Danys is just stupid now, the walkers thing just doesn't interest me without Jon, and so on and so forth. I like that Theon and Sansa jumped off that wall though.
Because they could. Without Sam there, there was nobody to oppose, plus they've kinda been wanting to do it since day one.

You all knew this would happen.

And this too, of course.

Because the free folks killed men of the watch? Thus, in their mind, Jon let brothers die in favor for the free folks. Don't see why this is strange, really. The free folks even slaughtered everyone Olly knew.
I bought the GoT S1-3 BluRay box for dirt cheap and re-watching the first few episodes is like watching amateur theatre. The special effects have been decent from the start but the way too clean digital lighting and awkward acting makes it a chore to get through.
I've never quite understood why they went for digital cameras instead of proper film to shoot a series based on ye olden days. Boardwalk Empire thankfully understood the necessity of film for shooting something based on the 1930's.

I haven't been following this thread much, so not sure if this theory has been brought up yet, but...
I think Jon Snow was killed off for plot reasons. He's so insistent about not breaking his oath to the Night's Watch, but now that he died, he kept his oath and is no longer bound by it. Melisandre realizes Stannis is not the Warrior of Light, but somehow realizes the Warror of Light is actually Jon Snow, she then revives Jon, proclaims him the true Warrior of Light, and Jon can do what he wants, now that he's no longer bound by his oath.

Yepp, this theory is brought up on every page by everyone ;b
Don't do it, think of the remaining Starks, do you want them dead?

The Starks are all fools anyway. Better kill them off quickly and be done with it.

Neither community knows anything anymore. It's all theories from here on out. Winter has arrived. So I wouldn't be too freaked out.
No, there are book spoilers.

Not Hitman Arya
I imagine it'll play out like this:
"Don't go there, Arya. You'll be killed."
*ignores warning*
*dies*
I think Sam was actually lucky that he wasn't there anymore. When Thorne said to him "seems like all your friends are leaving" I took that as a threat.

Sam knew what was about to go down and got out of town.
I think a lot of people who think that JS is really dead are totally ignoring a HUGE hint. If you look closely you can see his eye slightly shift, just before the credits roll. Some people seem to think it's just a lighting change, but if you look at it closely, it could only have been on purpose.
I made a short video that shows just how clear it actually is:

It might be subtle, but I think it's an unmistakable sign that we're going to see him back next season.

You don't have to mark season five spoilers in the season five thread, lol.
And yes yes, we know, we know. Jon is coming back etc.

Water is not wet!
i dont think the whole Nights Watch betrayed Jon.. there were only 10 or so present. A good portion of the Watch is made up of murderers and rapists. Its not like Nights Watch mutiny just came out of nowhere. Jon is the second Watch lord to die by his own men on the show.
The show and books are caught up... sort of. There are still a few (fairly significant) plotlines that have not been covered by the show yet. I don't really know if the show is planning on doing them later on, or just cutting them completely, so be careful.

That's some glorious editing.
Did not throw the shoe. Repeat, did not throw the shoe.
You suck.
What did he talk about?
This and that. How he doesn't really like to be in the spotlight and his relation to Germany, stuff like that. Than he read a chapter of the next book and since I only watch the series I understood nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Anyhow, the words "cunt" and "spanking" were in that chapter so there you go.

Bron confirmed.
Now that I think about it it's kind of odd that Bron and Jaime never spoke about Tyrion or what he did during their time together at Dorne. I mean there was nobody closer to Tyrion than those two and Jaime was the one who set him free.
That's Denis Scheck interviewing him, right? Totally jaelous.Did not throw the shoe. Repeat, did not throw the shoe.
Sibel Kekilli was there too and said that I was cute (not lying).
Yes and he was great. But he went from a question about jetpacks to "So George R. R. Martin, who do you think really controls this world?" and Martin was just as confused as we were.
No wonder I missed that. Even had to replay the video a couple of times.
lol, sounds like a good discussion.
At one point Will & Grace came up so yeah it had everything.

You definitely see Jon Snow's eyes dilate, which is what happens when people die. A nice touch that a lot of movies ignore.

Sam is gonna be destroyed :/
I wonder if Jon felt like he could no longer protect Sam and that's why he agreed to let him leave. He must have smelled mutiny in the air.
