So is Jon actually dead? I'd read that Kit Harrington gave an interview saying he was done with the series. If that's actually true then fuck Game of Thrones. Why the fuck would you invest so much screen time in a character to kill him off in such an inconsequential way. What a waste of fucking time. I understand the staple of the series is that main characters get killed off. But it seems to me like recent deaths are happening with no real purpose or thought from a writing point of view. Stannis killing his daughter makes no fucking sense, I don't care how you want to justify it. And now Jon being killed in such a lame way after everything he's been through, the amount of screen time he'd been given, what the fuck man? Honestly? I get that it makes sense for some characters to be killed off. Or that some characters can be killed off, but it just doesn't make any sense.
Alternately I read somewhere else that he could be brought back to life like Beric Dondaryon was, and that Melisandre might be the one to do it (the fact she makes a timely return to Castle Black would indicate this, and you know, she's supposed to be a fucking witch so anything is possible). There's all sorts of theories as to how he could return. The night's watch oath also bounds him until death. Him actually dying and being brought back could be a way of him getting around that via a loophole, no? Allowing him to go be ruler of Winterfell and all that other bollocks. This would actually make sense and be cool.
I'm really fucked off though if he's actually dead. Not just because he was one of my favourite characters, but because it would be just the same as if you suddenly killed off Daenerys in a similarly lame way. She's gone off, done all these things, brought all these people together, developed as a character over hours of screen time, and *poof* just like that she's killed by a mutiny or some other similarly shit way.
Storytelling, even if you aim to make it 'realistic' or 'dark' or even 'shocking', should still have a fucking point. If Jon dies then what was the fucking point in wasting so much god damn time with his bullshit. He was clearly set up as one of the main characters (the others being Tyrion, Sansa, Arya and Daenerys).
Ugh. I just can't believe he's actually been killed off. Did this shit really happen? I'm not saying main characters can't be killed off, or even that they shouldn't be, but does anyone else not find the story completely infuriating and a massive time waste (if he is ofcourse actually gone)?
