Incanus 5,714 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well for the first time I am going to be at least partially in the dark about the plot since the series has moved to the events of the 5th book and will probably go beyond next season.

Jay 37,355 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 "Killing" a character in a season finale is always such a bad idea, because we'll know if he's truly dead or not as soon as Season 6 starts filming. The actor will either show up to work or he won't!Called it.Kit Harrington Reportedly Arrives In Belfast For Game Of Thrones Season 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 That's how they're going to trick us. Kit Harington spends the next six months in Belfast with his hair uncut, so everyone's certain about Jon Snow's survival, but then in Episode 6.01 they burn the body and that's the end of the matter...

Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have a hard time believing her. She might be over-hyping it somewhat, but I don't find it hard to believe that Season 6 will get off to a fairly quick start given how Season 5 ended. In fact, it didn't feel like the ending of a season at all (compared to previous years) given how many threads of the story left their characters in (at the very least) precarious situations; it was more like the middle of a season, so it's plausible enough that Season 6 will hit the ground running. The fact that Seasons 5 and 6 were commissioned simultaneously might be a factor; for the first time, the writers had the opportunity to outline the upcoming story over twenty guaranteed episodes rather than the usual ten.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm just gonna go on limb here and say it.Jon Snow is dead and should remain dead.Killing a main character and resurrecting him is not only a sci-fi/fantasy cliché, its bad storytelling. It's disingenuous and far too easy a way to create drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's kind of funny how Jon has risen to the rank of "most popular character"; because for nearly two seasons he became one of the most uninteresting of the lot.

Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's pathetic, really. The more they'll try to convince people Jon is dead, the less people will believe them. It seems pretty effective so far, actually! I don't think they're trying to convince everyone that Jon Snow is dead so much as keep people wondering what's going to happen. Benioff and Weiss had better make Episode 6.01 a popular one; it's going to be the most watched HBO show ever on its initial broadcast... Apparently, she was cast as the lead role in an upcoming Joan Of Arc movie. And she's playing Denethor in the remake of The Lord of the Rings.
