4. When Jon Snow Was Murdered
When watching this scene for the very first time we found ourselves audibly, clearly saying “No” over and over again to the TV screen. Did the screen listen? No. Jon Snow was betrayed by his brothers of the Night’s Watch, was stabbed over and over again and left to bleed out in the snow. Even that little bastard Ollie got a knife in him. This was easily the biggest death of the series since Ned Stark’s way back in season 1, and it made for a very gloomy several months until Jon was brought back to life in season 6. His resurrection is really the least the show’s creators could have offered us after gobbling every morsel of our hopes and dreams throughout the series. Jon’s back now and ready to stir some dung, but we still have a band-aid over our poor little hearts from when he was murdered in the cold.
