8) Olly
At least one person responsible for Jon Snow’s murder is destined to be punished, and Olly might be the perfect candidate. After all, Game of Thrones loves presenting us with vile characters whose eventual downfall nonetheless makes us feel weirdly sympathetic. When Joffrey was poisoned back in season 4, this was a scene every viewer had eagerly anticipated, yet it was tough to celebrate while a horrified mother watched her baby boy choke to death.
Similarly, Olly has inspired copious amounts of hate online following his decision to assassinate Jon Snow, and seeing as Ghost is about to explode with rage over at Castle Black, everyone’s least favorite farm boy may not be long for this world.
At the same time, we will no doubt feel a bit of sadness when this young man who has been through so much, and who witnessed his own parents being slaughtered in front of him, is brutally mauled after doing what he thought was right. It makes sense on a plot level, and it’s exactly the kind of complex emotional beat David Benioff and D.B. Weiss typically revel in.
