Listen, we’re not even going to caption these photos, because they’re just too dire and intense. We’re afraid being funny and/or silly at their expense may just tempt a bit of fate. Even just from these four measly photos we know that Sunday’s new episode of Game of Thrones, “The Watchers on The Wall” is going to be a doozy. An epic battle royale that we’ve probably not seen the likes of since Blackwater Bay. And we’re, honestly, more than a little bit terrified for the fate of our dearly beloved Jon Snow, knower of nothing. It’s his time to shine — his make it or break it moment — hopefully he’ll live long enough to win and possibly enjoy it.
Considering this season’s track record of cutting down our favorites before they’ve really had a time to shine (sniff sniff), these photos have us seriously worried. Will Jon Snow survive his battle with the Wildlings? Will the series stay true to the books or go off in another direction completely? And if he does survive, will Jon Snow finally know something? Anything? Anything at all?
Plus we also see that Ygritte is in there (as is Samwell Tarly): are they going to be OK and survive? Will Jon Snow have to kill either one of them? Will Jon Snow have to kill both of them? Basically we just want to know: HOW EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR MURDER DO WE HAVE TO BE? You hurt us so cruelly last week, Game of Thrones, so forgive us if we’re a little jumpy at the prospect of such a dire-looking return to The Wall.
Who do you think will live and die this week? Let us hear it in the comments.
LoL no, this is a classic marketing misdirect, the next episode will be something else entirely. As far as last week’s, when I read the book, I saw it coming a mile a way and couldn’t care less about Oberyn at the time, his obsession is more in your face and it was not a surprise that he was going to mess it all up for himself and Tyrion. As for what’s coming up I’ll just say this watch out for the throne :p
John Snow – Knower all Nothing. Lol Yeah, I’m not gonna continue watching GOT if he gets killed. He’s my favorite character. Can’t wait for some battle. Finally
This is what happens when bloggers can’t crack a book open. lol
I don’t agree that the readers must remain silent, fans are traumatized after Oberyn, so worry not, Jon Snow lives with the help of Stannis Baratheon
and after that nightwatch brother’s kill him so badly.
I’m still trying to tell myself that bastard makes it through..
Sorry, it was a cliff hanger. Still have to believe Ghost and those loyal to Jon and non-Black Watch will save him.
Yeah, about that….sure, he got stabbed repeatedly by his “brothers” a la Julius Caesar, but as far as I’m concerned, his fate is ambiguous until Martin confirms otherwise, which likely won’t happen until Winds of Winter finally arrives.
Agreed, non readers can also look up Jon Snow on Wikipedia to find out his fate.
probably they’ll make Jon kill Ygritte
“And we’re, honestly, more than a little bit terrified for the fate of our dearly beloved Jon Snow, knower of nothing” I know it’s an old joke, but I still LOLed. Go LUTES
People who have read the series aren’t allowed to sound off on this, are we?
As a book reader I will keep my comments to myself.
