I might stick it out next season, but only for the remaining Dire Wolves and the hopeful return of The Hound.

Everybody else in the show can go pound sand.

I agree, it is hard to emotionally invest in the "good guys" because the author GRM loves to kill them off. If it is any consolation Martin killed off John Snow in the last book written thus far.

If you're upset because it just happened in the TV series, just imagine the emotional investment of people like me and myriads of others who have read all of the books covering THOUSANDS OF PAGES. It was a bitter pill to swallow when Martin killed off John Snow, one of the few "good guys" left... this on top of killing off Brieanne of Tarth; it was devastating. At that point I almost gave up on the story/books because "what's the point" of continuing (nearly everyone I care about, Martin kills)? And just think of all of the other characters the readers grew to genuinely care about that Martin has killed off! With John Snow's demise it was like the "straw that broke the camel's back". That said, I will probably still read the next installments IF Martin stays alive long enough to complete writing the books. At the rate he is going between writing the books ether he will die or his readers could before the books story is completed. However, will there even be ANY characters the readers even care about left to warrant reading them? Who knows, maybe John Snow will make a miraculous recovery... However, IF that happens would he still be the same man the readers like and care about?

Sadly, thus far the one word that best sums up the entire GOT series for me is: "depressing"; and that is not a good motive for continuing to read GOT, but we shall see.

Funny...

'Live', meaning the new episode feed from HBO was live at 9pm ET.

I'm not sure what to make of GoT anymore. The episode before this one gave me hope that maybe some good would prevail, ie the final scene in the coliseum in Meereen where Jorah and "the good guys" fought off many of the Sons of the Harpy. Daenerys' dragon came to the rescue, and she flew off on the dragon in some sort of magical blaze of glory. It was exhilirating.

Of course this was the same episode with the HORRIFIC event of Princess Shireen Baratheon being burned at the stake (for what reason??).

Tonight's episode was such a downer. We saw the very mortal, dirty and disheveled Daenerys wandering around in the middle of nowhere, in search of more food for her ailing dragon. I assumed she flew off to find the two other dragons, and they would all return to Meereen to enact 'peace through strength'.

The Stannis / Winterfell battle was a big ho-hum, and we didn't even see Brienne of Tarth kill Stannis, no drama there, after investing SO much time with Stannis and his plans, all the drama with Melisandre, his wife, daughter, etc.

Sansa wants to kill herself, Arya appears to be blinded (hopefully temporarily), Cersei does the Walk of Shame (I shed no tears there), and then we get the final, shocking scene with Jon Snow. I assumed Snow would be one of the last characters standing at the end of the series.

Maybe the final scene was just a nightmare that Jon Snow had, it didn't really happen. Yeah, that's it... that's the ticket...

Suckers.

I never watched one episode, I just eavesdropped on the GoT threads to see what all you Thronies were getting out of it. “Screwed” seems to be the answer....

Sometimes in Westeros what we see happening isn’t what actually happened.

Other times who we see something happening to is something that happened to someone else instead.

And in even other times, things happen to someone, and then they get straight up resurrected.

Jon Snow ain’t goin’ nowhere.

And the Hound, well, I ask you, who is going to kill Cersei’s new super duper extra secret identity purple faced, yellow eyed golden armor wearing 8 foot tall body guard?

The Hound was once quoted as saying to one Arya Stark, who is still someone, no one is going to kill my brother but me, ahem, paraphrasing there, but that was the gist of it.

So, there is hope for The Hound.

What if Shireen and Stannis die in the next book, and they’ve simply simplified the plot by killing them now?

And it was live in the other time zones. The feed of course.

Much ado about nothing I guess.

Next season takes place 100 years in the future when they’re all dead.

Many people believe that Jon Snow is brought back from the death just like Beric Dondarrion was killed and resurrected by the red magic.

I believe that part of the propecy for Azor Ahai is that the person will die and come back three times.

I have always thought that Jon Snow will, at some point, meet Danerys and they will hit it off, marry, conquer and rule together. Thus, also keeping the Targaryen thing of marrying ones relation (if the rumors are true).

I definitely have GoTFatigue. I can’t invest emotionally in any character

When I first started reading this series, I recommended them to my husband with two caveats: Don't get attached to any character; and, never attend a wedding in Westeros.

I haven’t watched “Game of Thrones” (no HBO) but I’ve admittedly been curious as to what I was missing. Now...not so much.

Homosexuals are mentally ill by nature, and will try to skew things to their own way of thinking. I wouldn’t want to invest in watching something that’s going to be a complete downer all the time.

And burning a child alive? Nope...no way. Not for me. I couldn’t have borne it.

>>(if the rumors are true).<<

R+L=J is such a fan favorite, and GRRM such a troll, that he’d most likely NOT have it go that way just to spite his readers. This is the same guy who said “Every time someone asks me when Winds of Winter will come out, I’ll kill another Stark.”
