Hmm. That’s a good point.

Catelyn is really kinda dead in the books, too. Lady Stoneheart resembles her only by face.

Here’s a question. Why not just escape when she was down below on floor level instead of running up to her room and meeting GIRLFRIEND instead?

That’s just lazy writing. As noted, Ramsay’s girlfriend fell from a lot lower height and died horribly. “Cushy” snow doesn’t help a six story fall.

Yeah. Remember when women were appalled that Sansa was thrust into this horrible storyline and raped multiple times, brutally? And abused? But all the (male) commenters said, “Don’t worry! She’ll be fine. She’ll be all empowered by this and rule the north and have a great storyline.”

1) Lots of people had king’s blood, and they died. Like, oh Robert Baratheon. He did no powerful things, but died from a wild boar.

Everyone keeps holding on to that, but it makes no practical sense to do so.

Why not? Killing him isn’t a cliffhanger. Making us unsure whether he will or won’t come back, and how a favorite character MIGHT come back would be a more efficient cliffhanger.

This isn’t a soap opera. He IS the father.

Because Melisandre has to help against the White Walkers. Now that Jon’s dead, no one else will heed the danger.

This isn’t a soap opera. He’s the father.

Please. GRRM was obligated to tell the writers what’s going to happen in his books. The writers aren’t going to make Jon dead, and then GRRM will resurrect him in the books without some huge lawsuit from HBO.

Writers: “Dead is dead.”

On Sansa’s changed plotline:

Nope. Writers said that he’s dead and his contract is not renewed for next season.

I think she realized that Shireen’s blood didn’t have that much magic. If it did, it would have protected Stannis. If Shireen’s blood didn’t work, that means that Stannis’s blood isn’t all that powerful because. . he’s NOT THE ONE. Hence the gif.

Eh. I didn’t think she was great in this episode. It seemed very forced. The camera angles, showing over the heads of the rioting crowd to the castle, with birds cawing overhead, THAT was what showed you her inner monologue.

Yeah. Oh, here’s a ring for you to find in this endless sea of grass! That’s the only way you’ll know where I was.

As much as everyone wants Jon to still be alive, the writers have confirmed that he’s dead, and “dead is dead.”

The first Chucky movie terrified me, also because who isn’t around dolls? It might have helped that I was a little kid when I watched it.
