What do you think that means in regards to Jon's parentage? His status/lack of status as a Stark? | ||

Jon's parentage is as clear as an unrevealed secret can get, at this point | ||

It could just as well be that the ancestors are telling him it isn't his place because of his targ heritage and that his place will be at Dany's side fighting the others, aka he should not be (dead and) buried under Winterfell. | ||

In AGOT where Jon yells that he's not a Stark but has to go down in the crypts. In ASoS where the Kings of Winter tell him there is no place for him in the crypt. But I agree that Jon's parentage is too muddled. | ||

Still thought the scene was really well done nonetheless. Everything was there, from Alliser's hesitation to Stannis's approval. Really liked the introduction to the scene too, the toilet jokes may sounds like a random joke at first, but it's actually a warning to both Janos and Alliser that's he's not a petty bitch and will try to do whats best for the watch. Alliser acknowledges this, Janos fails to see it. Alliser steps out of the way, realising that there is nothing to gain from protected him. Really well done. Probably Alliser will take Bowen Marsh role in the show though. Why they refuse to use the iconic phrases from the book is beyond me, "Only Cat" comes to mind as well. | ||

Her chapters in the book instantly let you know that she is a narrow-minded person and an incompetent ruler so her fall could be expected. | ||

If she were to loses all caution, who knows what she'd be capable of? I'm reminded of Cersei's orders to kill Sansa if Stannis took the capital. | ||

They need to build-up to her fall, so to speak. 2) That's because AFFC was written in Cersei's PoV, so we knew exactly how crazy, narrow-minded, and incompetent she was by inner thoughts. It wasn't until her actions bit her in the arse that her lack of competence was publicly revealed. 3) There's again only so much incompetence she can show without it being comical. She has some experience with politics, even if she's just some amateurish schemer. She is, at the least, more competent a politician and conniver than Ned. | ||

It's becoming strangely satisfying watching people get insanely hopeful for the 5th time, only to have it all soon taken away. :D | ||

But I feel like it would be such a hype moment to end episode 10 with Jon bleeding on the ground. But they may do the typical episode 9 giant shock event as usual too. I guess we'll find out when they release the episode names for the last 2 episodes. | ||

But are they making the two latest books into one season? Or is there actually a chance he only dies next season? | ||

I think it would be better if Jon being stabbed was the very last scene of S5. Make it a proper cliffhanger. They didn't do the typical episode 9 climax scheme for S4, so there is a precedent. | ||
