It's all a giant ruse. He's actually dead.

(SPOILER)Not to mention none of the Stark boys had been in any battles before Ned died as I recall. They were just well trained at Winterfell.Quote:

so many theories :3
Game of Thrones usual formula of 'bad things happen to good people, and the villains win' is already a cliche at this point. A more traditional cliche would be a welcome change of pace.
Bad things also happen to bad people in this show. Bad things just happen.
Also I think one of the themes of the show is that the line between good and bad is pretty blurred. Other than Jon there really aren't any truly 'good' people in GoT. And yes something bad happened to Jon but I have a feeling he'll come out stronger for it. On the other end, the most 'bad' person in GoT with no redeemable qualities is probably Joffrey, and look what happened to him.
Unless your last name is Bolton.
Anyways, my point is, what started off as 'shocking' is now 'the norm' and expected to the point of being a running gag that what would be considered cliche in other stories would actually be more shocking than the 'shock value' they rely on.
I definitely agree with that aspect.
Good things happen too, though. All of the main characters have had triumphs and successes as much as they have had tragedies. Are we desensitised to the tragedies now? Perhaps, but I would contend we are even more desensitised to triumphs!
I think the problem is the tragedies often result in their death, so it's the last impression we have. It's like 'you did this great thing! ...buuuut you died horribly anyway.'
And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live.
No amount of living makes up for having your eyeballs gouged and your head cracked apart like a melon.
