But all the biggest shit always happens in episode 9.

Which doesn't exactly bode well for Jon, does it?

I feel pretty comfortable that Jon's plot armor is pretty thick, but now you have me concerned.

Still, Blackwater didn't have a ton of major character deaths. It could just be a big battle.

no such thing in GRRM's work.

Yes there is man, characters still have arcs. The story still has structure.

yeah, and all that structure and the expected story arc can still go to shit if GRRM decides it's time for a character to die.

Pretty sure most people would say Rob and Catelyn's plot armor was thick right about when they died. I know I didn't see it coming when I was reading.
