Jojen Reed ***SPOILERS*** for Game of Thrones Season 4


The GOT board is incredibly busy, even a couple of days after the finale it is crashing.

So I just wanted to say Thank You to Thomas Brodie-Sangster for doing such an excellent job playing Jojen Reed. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

I saw him first in Doctor Who (in the same episodes as Harry Lloyd that played Viserys), then Nanny McPhee, then Love Actually, so when he was showed up on Game of Thrones, I knew immediately that they made the right choice in casting Jojen Reed.

He worked well with all actors in his story group. His quiet but intense and determined need to get Bran to the Three-Eyed Crow was spot on in every scene. Bran got distracted with walking and running and hunting that tough warning Summer, got distracted by thoughts of Jon, and each time he got distracted, Jojen was there to bring back to focus and keep moving toward his goal.

TBS's last scenes were heart-rending, a well-written surprise, and worthy of Meera's stunned grief. I imagine for a while she will feel she failed as her brother's guardian, though it was she who helped him complete his most vital mission. His dead eyes reflecting the approach of that fireball will haunt Jojen fans for a long time.

I hope we haven't seen the last of Jojen, that he will show up in Bran's dreams, perhaps as a guide or interpreter. As long as we get more time with Jojen.

The future holds bright things for this young man. I'll definitely be on the lookout for his next projects.

It was a death scene, except it felt kinda dumb how one minute he's sitting yelling at Bran, next shot, he decided to lay on his back next to the wight. I blame Meera for pushing him back.

I'm so upset they killed him. I was so happy when I found out they cast him as Jojen and so upset when they killed him early.
