I'll give my thoughts of the Season 5 finale:

Stannis: I don't think he's dead. I think Brienne spared him, not able to go through with the execution.

Sansa and Theon/Reek: I think they'll continue to try and escape but Ramsay will hunt them down. I think Theon will sacrifice himself to allow Sansa to flee, and then she'll meet up with Brienne.

Jon Snow: I think he's dead, but I think that Melisandre will now think that Jon Snow is the actual rightful king and use her power to bring him back to life.

Araya: I think she's undergoing another test/punishment for the murder she committed, but she'll survive.

New King's Guard: I think he's The Mountain, as we didn't see him die.

Daenerys: I'm not too sure, but I think she'll be held captive again.

But I need someone to root for. I need someone I can, at least marginally, relate to or empathize with.

I find myself agreeing with this. And I just mean personally. That's the reason I stopped reading the books. While the story telling is great and all that I found out with these books (I didn't know this about me before) that I personally need someone to root for, follow (well, I also need the story to move faster, hehe). So I know that a lot of people love the books but I found out that they are just not for me. Must be becuase I got acustomed to reading so many thrillers.

WOW! I was not expecting that ending although I fully expect the red headed woman to bring him back to life with the lords light :D

 

I felt that the whole Stannis plot was very rushed though and a pretty crap way to end his story.

The thing is, they can't really say he is coming back as it would spoil the ending/cliffhanger then :p

Yeah I guess. But it seems pretty clear that even Kit says "i'm not coming back"  doesn't get much more clear than that? And for what, next season "haha troll face, I lied" ? lol.

 

Also, the dude cut his hair, I know wiggs can be used, but imo that was his way of getting rid of that character?

He could have been told to lie.

 

I just find it very hard to believe that they have killed of that character for good, they built him up so much with all that he has done and there was a lot more to do with him in future episodes, without him, the wall, rest of the nights watch just seem pointless with no purpose especially with Sam, Gilly + the baby no longer being there either.

 

Also, surely the red headed woman must have returned to the wall for a reason, who is she going to serve now? I can't imagine her serving the likes of the king, Boltons, Khalesi etc. She certainly saw something in Snow or was at least interested in him for something.

 

Yeah fair shout about the hair but like you said, they could use a wig/hair extensions, he didn't have much cut of either.

Oh I want to believe, specially because none of it makes sense as you point out. Problem is, I don't think show producers would lie? (Is there are history of producers lying?) I mean, it's one thing they would say "We don't know". But saying "he's not coming back" Can't be more thorough than that.

Frankly there's nothing in the producers statement that actually confirms it to be definite, and kit might legitimately think his character is dead if they haven't told him otherwise yet (similar to how shows may not tell cast members about their deaths until very close to filming those specific episodes).

On the other hand, all men must die, right? :p

99.9% of the characters on this show are just terrible, terrible people that

everyone wants to see die. Every now and again one of them gets it.... but

most of the time it's the people we like that get it. At this rate, the only

survivors are going to be the insane folks, of which there are a TON.

 

I've really enjoyed the show up to this point, but as has been said many

times, we're quickly getting to the point where I'm just not going to care

about the cast, anymore. What do we have left?

 

A Whimpering King.

Incest Royalty.

Torture Porn Royalty.

A pimp.

Liches with an undead army.

Etc.

 

For likeable characters?

A couple of Stark girls who will never be the same again.... and may become unlikable.

 

The only reliable awesome character is the Imp. They kill him, I'm done. OH, and about

Snow... where the HELL was the damn wolf??? I was so looking for him to bite off some

heads.

Pretty much what spenser said.

 

They can't even say we are not sure yet as even that statement tells use there is a chance that he will come back and spoil the cliffhanger.

 

When do they start filming season 6 or have they already started?

 

 

And yeah, I was kind of hoping for the wolf to show up and wipe them all out :D Only problem is, if Snow really is dead, they will likely kill the wolf.... :(

There is always a chance that they throw the body over the wall as a final insult and he gets reanimated by the white walker "king" and becomes his lieutenant.  That would be pretty bad if they killed him and now have to deal with him and an army at the wall.

I think he's dead for good. He said the producer told him its permanent.mplus he cut his hair android getting ready for movie roles. As much as I like the show, I think they are getting gimmicky for killing main characters for for the heck of it. Now, for True Detective season 2!
