I love Jon Snow
I have a tremendous crush on Jon Snow. If you don't watch Game of Thrones, then you don't know of whom I am speaking. If you do watch the show, then you know him. Never has a character captivated so much. I am currently reading the first of the five books of The Songs of Fire and Ice series by George R.R. Martin. I didn't watch the show when it first came on because we didn't have HBO. But then I upgraded our cable package to get it and other channels.
I watch it On-Demand because I don't stay up that late. I like to watch it alone, but my mom and aunt like it too. Understand, my crush is not on Kit Harrington, the actor. I first loved Jon Snow from season one, when he first took the black. He learned hard lessons on the Wall, but still had hope. He never forgets who he is or from whence he came. With his faithful, fearless direwolf, Ghost by his side, he learned to fear nothing.
He is a true born leader. Jon Snow was raised as the bastard son of Eddard Stark, but we got a hint of his true parentage in season five. I hope through my reading, that I discover the truth, and that what I think it is, is the truth. If true, then Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, the king of the Seven Kingdoms before Robert Baratheon took the throne. He is also the half brother of Daenarys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons. Could you just imagine if those two got together? I think it would be fabulous!!!
I also admire Jon Snow's sense of honor and courage. The way he banded together the wildings to fight for Castle Black instead of against it, was awesome. He, together with his sister, Sansa Stark defeated Ramsey Bolton in one of the greatest battle scenes I have ever seen on film. Jon fought for his life, struggling against all odds to free himself from the crush of bodies falling on him threatening suffocation. He took back Winterfell and let Sansa feed Ramsey to the dogs. I don't know whose death I enjoyed more, Ramsey's or Joffrey's.
He is also handsome and valiant. Being easy on the eyes is always a benefit, and Kit is certainly that. Jon Snow does want is right for his men and his family. Not that he is perfect, because he isn't. He has made mistakes, but he learns from them. He never forgets betrayals and he always pays his debts. No wonder he was called the King of the North. He is a Stark, afterall. It turns out that his mother was Lyanna Stark, Eddard's sister. This we saw from Bran's visions.
I hope Jon finds Arya and Bran soon. Arya is now an assassin, and Bran is the three-eyed raven. So far, the executive producers have stuck very close to the books. I am not worried about how the last two seasons will turn out. I am sure it will be great. Unfortunately, my concentration is still a little off, so the reading is going slowly. Normally, I would be on the third book by now. But, as I said, I am still on the first book, which I hope to finish this weekend. I will complete the series, that I promise. I will read, and learn more about my crush, Jon Snow. I haven't felt this way about a character since Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I hope it turns out just as well.
Peace, Joy, Love - B
