Darkness and terror within
Darkness surrounds these days. Evenings are blind with mist and and the mornings are full of shaking. What better weather for the finale of Game of Thrones season 5 to air!
So with a lot of spoilers here and there, I managed to watch the season finale of Game of Thrones yesterday.
Yes it is dark and vile, in fact the whole book is. This isn't Lord of the Rings, where every tragedy is rewarded with happy endings and victories. You'd be lucky just to see your favorite character live on through one more episode.
Unfortunately, fans of Jon Snow had no such luck this episode.
Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was killed, stabbed to death by his fellow Crows, including his own steward, Olly. No surprise after everything that happened in the past few episodes right?
Lord commander Mormont was killed in a mutiny at the Craster's Keep. By his fellow Crows. Then Jon becomes the Lord commander by just one deciding vote of Maester Aemon. So basically half the crows are against Jon.
Then Jon goes ahead and rescues the wildlins from the white walker army, sacrificing a great deal of crows who liked him. That's where Jon lost the battle against his own Crows. Outnumbered.
May be Jon chose his death the moment he saw Yggrite's light fade from her eyes. May be he decided that no wildling should die in a battle of men, a battle so meaningless that it won't even matter because to white walkers they were all the same.
Jon embraced death that night when Yggrite let out her last breath and He truly knew that he knew nothing.
