I'm told that Jon's death was the mega spoiler that got that one guy banned a couple weeks back. that really sucks for anyone who read it cause then it's in the back of your mind the whole time and you're not watching the show the same way you would without any knowledge. as I mentioned earlier, google did it for me a long time ago when I typed in Jon Snow to look up his wiki page and immediately got "John Snow dead" as the first option. eff you autosuggest.
Jon's death is more in line with how the other Stark men bit the dust, with plenty of people around them warning that they were doing it wrong (shoulda listened to Stannis when he told you to send Thorne away). so it sucks he's gone, but in my mind the story at least earned it a bit more than some of the other recent shockers.
oh what a waste of magical king's blood though. I sort of wanted the scene to end with Melisandre running over frantically with a jar and ladle to save some for spellcasting next season.
