Last night Game of Thrones returned and it was met with a mostly positive reception. It wasn't full of too many memorable moments except THAT final scene.
For the most part it was just a 60-minute catch-up with the main cast, oh and of course we never got a definitive answer on whether Jon Snow is dead or not. Ghost finally turned up though, so that's great of him, real helpful wolf that guy.
One thing we did see though is Ser Alliser admitting to The Night's Watch that it was him who stabbed up Jon. As he said this, Captain Little Wanker AKA Olly was stood in the background with a god-awful smirk on his face. One stab and he thinks he's a big man.

Boohoo, the wildlings killed your family, so what Olly, it's not about you. We don't tune in in our millions each week to hear you sulk about your dead mum, you punk. You've caused outrage Olly, so much so that real-life Brenock O'Connor who plays the snivelling shit is receiving death threats because his character is so universally despised.
According to IBT, the 16-year-old actor is receiving an online backlash for his fictional sins once again. Despite being just one of many who enticed the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch to his demise at the end of the last season, it was ASBO Olly who instigated the final, fatal blow, potentially.
I mean, I guess there's something admirable about reaching Joffrey levels of hatred but it's not really a good achievement, it's more like a farting so hard you shit your pants kind of achievement.
Let's not forget he also fired the arrow that killed Ygritte, the love of Jon's life. And Jon still forgave the kid and forged a genuinely caring friendship with the dude, until he got Judas'd by the traitor. And then Olly had the nerve to point the finger at Jon. God I really hate Olly, probably more than I hate Jar Jar Binks or Adam Sandler movies.
Next week will no doubt bring about a new body to add to the show's sky scraping death count, so let's have a look at who is likely to get the chop and if it's more or less likely to happen than Olly's demise, using very basic maths:

Ser Davos: I love Davos and his inexplicable Geordie accent, he's one of the few loyal personalities on the show. I feel like you could tell Davos you had a funny STD and no matter how many drinks he'd had at the pub he'd never tell his mates about it. However, loyalty is rarely a good thing on GoT. That said he seems to have The Red Woman on his side now, so you never can tell. (Chance of death: 50%)
Ser Alliser: Despite having a lot of people on his side, he's effectively painted a target on his back now and next week's episode will no doubt be a gigantic fight at Castle Black that could see just about anyone lose their head. My money's on Ghost chewing Alisser up. (CoD: 60%)
Jorah Mormont: The guy's getting crustier and crustier by the week and there'd be something beautifully tragic about him dying as he rescues Daenerys from the Dothraki again, for her then to go home and bang Daario Naharis. That feels like a season-ending death though. (CoD: 30%)

Tommen Baratheon: Cersei said it herself, it's only a matter of time before she loses all her children. Tommen is lovely, but he's weak and his fruitless quest to bail Margaery out of prison is surely only going to result in his end. (CoD: 50%)
Olly: As brutal, remorseless and unapologetic as Game of Thrones is it's still hard to imagine Olly getting butchered by an adult. That said, it's only a matter of time before things really go down the shitter on The Wall so maybe a White Walker or a Wildling will do us the honour. Or maybe Ghost will eat the snitch for breakfast, an appetiser before he devours Ser Alliser. Of course Jon could come back to life and then end up saving the child, that would be very Jon Snow. (CoD: 50%)
This being Game of Thrones we also shouldn't be surprised if Olly makes it through the show's duration completely unscathed.
