Goddamn, just when I was starting to like Jon.

So the question is, does Melisandre save Jon or use his leaking innards to help Stannis... somehow?

For book readers: are there major things that have happened in the books that haven't happened in the show now? Jon was the last spoiler I knew.

And with that, you don't have to worry about any spoilers anymore. You can go into the spoiler thread. It's completely past the books. There shouldn't be two threads next year. That was the last thing.

Of course she'll save Jon. Without him there's no real narrative connection to the story at the wall.

And I don't think she killed Stannis. Go back to season 3 episode 5 where Jamie was talking to her about being able to do your duty when it's easy. I don't think Stannis' "do your duty" line was in there without a reason.

There's a ton of stuff that has been cut - entire storylines and significant characters. As far as the show's storylines, virtually all of them (except Jaime and arguably Brienne) have caught up to or surpassed the books.

E: I forgot about the epilogue to ADWD. Not sure if they'll include it at some point or not.

Yes. The above is wrong, there is still a lot of potential for book spoilers to happen in the show.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

quote:

I was talking to Dan Weiss and he said Jon is really dead. But George R.R. Martin left open the possibility the character might not be dead in the books. And then that cast salary contract story came out last year and it had your name among those receiving raises for season six and an option on a seventh. So let me ask you: Is Jon really dead?

This is my understanding of it. I had a sit-down with Dan and David, we did the Tony Soprano walk [letting an actor know they’re being whacked]. And they said, “Look, you’re gone, it’s done.” And as far as the salary thing goes, that angered me when that story came out. I don’t know where it came from, but it was inaccurate in many ways. It’s going to put questions into your head and into fans’ heads that things are not what they are. Quite honestly, I have never been told the future of things in this show, but this is the one time I have. They sat me down and said, “This is how it is.” If anything in the future is not like that, then I don’t know about it – it’s only in David and Dan and George’s heads. But I’ve been told I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m not coming back next season. So that’s all I can tell you, really.

I don't think it was a bad episode, it was just horribly unsatisfying for a finale - it feels like we're supposed to get the real finale after all this setup.

Eeeh. Not the best finale. Even if some or all deaths shown were fakeouts, they kinda sucked out the fun out of most Westeros storylines. I do look forward to Tyrion's gang running Mereen, but I'm not sure if I'll manage to stick with next season unless they introduce like, three new Oberyns.
