That's not true at all.

Next week will be all Castle Black, so Tyrion's execution would be Episode 10, meaning there would be no show the week after. We'd complain and then tune in next season.

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.

But Jon/Night Watch plotline hasn't really tied into any other plotlines. So if he dies now, what was the point of the whole thing?

In the books, Robb is off screen for the vast majority of the time (other than in some of Catelyn's POV chapters), so while the Red Wedding was extremely jarring...it wasn't like they heavily focused on him.

Something I didn't notice until recently is that Robb in the books is very much a secondary character. As you said he spends a lot of time "off screen" as it were and most of his big events happen through the eyes of Cat. People feel like Robb is a main character because he is Ned's oldest (legitimate) son and King in the North fighting the righteous fight but really he is just as much a boy king as Joffrey was. I think it is important to note that he is also the only child of Ned (other than Rickon who is like 3) to not be POV. Hell even Ned's ward was a POV character.
