More on Jon Snow, Of Course

I will keep it short since too much ink (okay, smartphone screen time) has been spilled. Kaitlin Thomas on TV.com is spending a lot of time downplaying the events with Jon Snow in the second episode of Game of Thrones because too many people have studied it already and ruined it.   She notes in her piece (Spoiler alert!):

We're living in a time where TV is dissected and inspected under a microscope, where various plot points are broken down into their small, individual parts and discussed at length until they no longer have any meaning. This story is probably one of thousands that will be written about Jon Snow in the coming weeks, and so knowing this, knowing how many millions of eyes were watching and waiting when Game of Thrones returned, one has to wonder if there was ever going to be a world in which Jon Snow's resurrection was going to be completely satisfying, because it was definitely never going to be surprising.

Folks, it's a television show! Enjoy the story and get back to life. Real people are being squashed in real time all around the world. Winter is truly coming and you are in your pajamas yelling at a television program

Breath...
