“No, it’s not okay”

I think if you asked John, he’d say he got off lightly. At the end of the show we see him in his cell, he’s ready to be executed and he wants it. It’s all over for him. The fact that he was sent beyond the Wall is the greatest gift, but also the greatest curse.

He has to go back beyond the Wall and live his life thinking about how he killed Dany, about Ygritte dying in his arms. Thinking about how he hung Ollie, thinking about all the other injuries, and that’s a very interesting result.

So, I think when we leave it at the end of the show, it seems like you want to smile a little bit, like everything is fine. No, John is not well.
