10 Most Shocking Moments In Game Of Thrones Season Finales
1. For The Watch (Season Five)
GOT showrunners broke the internet with their astonishing climax to season five, which left the world wondering whether it had seen the last of Jon Snow.
The then Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch was summoned under false pretences and repeatedly stabbed in the chest by his brothers, with each blow accompanied by the explanation of: ‘for the watch’. Some at Castle Black believed Jon to be leading them down the wrong path after he allowed Wildlings to integrate south of the Wall.
Jon had been touted as the show’s everlasting hero and was expected to survive until the end. But, as the camera panned away, his body motionless on the floor and his blood trickling across the ice, it was easy to believe that this hero had fallen.
It was the ultimate cliffhanger, and the fate of Jon somehow remained a mystery until the opening of season six. He was indeed dead, but was brought back by the Red Priestess Melisandre in episode two, and has remained through further trials and tribulations since.
But will he make it to series eight?
