Don't compare him to Ned, Ned is the guardian, the father, kinda like Dumble or Gandalf, it's normal for those characters to die, to make the heros' quest harder, and to develop the heros. Jon is one of the main Chars, and is the MC of the Wall, the only relevant Char up there besides him is Bran, which has a totally different role it seems, more connected to the warging magic or wtv. So, i believe if Jon has to eventually die, it has to be somewhat relevant to Bran's plot. Dying to wildings is completely irrelevant to wtv Bran is doing. So Jon has plot armor for now, when the White Walkers comes, who knows. Ned Stark was very much the hero in season one. Who else? The plot was about a man of honor trying to make a stand in a den of corruption. Ned was that man and carried that plot. Jon Snow was just a freshman with no real purpose at the wall. Robb - I don't even remember what he was doing. Bran was in a coma. Rickon was scared. Sansa was being an idiot. Arya for the most part was preparing for later events and stirring up some of the shit Ned was in anyways. So who's the hero he was the father of? His role was much closer to that of Frodo than that of Gandalf, the only real difference being that he was older and had a family to care for. But he was the one going on a quest. | ||

1. Peter Dinklage's character and acting 2. Director MacLaren who directed Breaking Bad 3. Any screenwriter outside of David Benioff & D. B. Weiss Honestly the screenwriter duo is what is holding this show back. They are in over their heads and they know it. As a result all we get are shock tactics, employed for the sake of buzz and the resultant ratings. These latest episodes are full of blood, gore, torture, nudity and chitchats about "twigs and berries", all of which are completely unnecessary and are simply used to cover up poor script writing. Transitions were nonsensical and made me squirm. Developing plots were interrupted with irrelevant scenes discussing the most irrelevant details such as greyworm's genitalia. Peter Dinklage is forced to deliver a stupid monologue about beetles. Utter garbage. Go back and watch the episodes NOT written by incompetent duo. Whoever you find, you'll notice it is a tier above anything these two can provide. As one of the most watched shows, GoT is the big league, and these screenwriters don't belong in it. It's gotten to the point where I'm watching just to know what happens so I can talk to others about it. My distaste outweighs my enjoyment... | ||

But I would like some closure on it. Maybe next episode or in the future. Also, I'm not good enough to know but I like the current flow. This considering I read some of the books. | ||

You are either very observant or exaggerating to have a point to complain. | ||

Congratulations, you have just described every modern HBO show, ever. That's HBO's success formula, not anyone's poor writing. | ||

The beetle monologue was one of the worst and most pathetic scenes of all seasons. | ||

I hope I do not get a tempban or something for that, but I do know that the writers did add some things that were not in the books - and most of this is indeed garbage. | ||

As someone who has not read the books - I doubt I could picture what was/wasnt in them, the show seems to be very complete and 99% of things fit very well IMO anyway. | ||
