Game of Thrones current season- Is it just me? (spoilers)

Isn't it time a Stark had a win though. They always seem to get it in the neck.

SPOILERS!!!!





So basically, the best way to make for a thrilling season finale is to kill off a Stark. Again. And again.
We're running out of Starks to kill, so what will be in store for next season? Bran's head on a pike?
To some extent, it's all very exciting, but to me it's mainly depressing.
"So you're fighting for a good cause? Well, you're all going to die horribly!"

They're also pushing the gore factor up a notch, just look at the death in the brothel. Do we really need all that? Young girls being raped and tortured?

To be honest, I think the death of Jon is a good moment to get off this train before it goes crashing into a ravine.
I don't mind a little "grim" in a story, but I don't want to be drowned in it...

That coffee mug would have totally changed that scene.
And with Ned Stark's beheading, maybe a little Monty Python "Always look on the bright side of life"...

Teaser poster released today by HBO:

[Nostalgiabuff]

well it is the worst kept secret in Hollywood. having him on set in costume kind of gave it away

Agreed. Martin loves to kill characters... but you kinda knew Jon Snow was not dead (even before the fans uncovered the evidence). Although I have to admit, it would be the most epic troll ever if HBO paid Kit Harrington to just hang around Northern Ireland, not cut his hair, and pretend to film scenes.

For me, the most exciting part of that teaser is the "April". There was a lot of speculation that HBO's new show, Vinyl, would keep Thrones off of TV until May.
