There will be lots to cover in the morning recap of tonight’s Game of Thrones, including the return of a much beloved character. The truth is, resurrecting Jon Snow in this episode may have been the only way to distract the think-piece masses from a moment on the show that many (on Twitter, at least) felt went too far.
It started out innocently enough. Roose and Ramsay were having a nice chat about strategy, when they were informed that Roose had a new son, and that Ramsay had a brand-new baby brother. Congratulations, right?
Not so much. Ramsay plunged a knife into his father, and Twitter lost its mind.

Maybe Game of Thrones should’ve left well enough alone — that was enough sadism for one episode, right?
No, because Ramsay didn’t want to leave an heir behind, so he fed his brand new baby brother to the dogs, which is when Twitter went berserk. “TOO FAR! TOO FAR!” they cried.
THEY JUST KILLED A BABY IN GAME OF THRONES. I ALSO ENJOY HOW THIS SHOW MAKES MY SIBLINGS LOSE THEIR FUCKING MINDS..

"AND THEN we're gonna have Ramsey kill his baby brother…. Right. After. He. Is. Born. IT'LL BE GREAT!" -Game Of Thrones producers probably

I want to continue to love Game of Thrones, but I just can't. Ramsey letting the dogs kill his baby brother? Ramsey in general?

Nothing like Game of Thrones making us watch a decent woman get fed to some rabid dogs. Stay the same, show.

Showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff saved their ass in the end, however, by pulling out the biggest gun in their arsenal. They brought back Jon Snow, and now all is right in Westeros.
