Does anyone else feel that if the real popular characters from Game of Thrones get killed off, then the show will be less popular and people will not be interested in watching it as much. I know on Game of Thrones you never know who is going to die, but it seems like if they keep killing off popular characters there will be no reason to watch. And I'm not saying I want a happy ending, but it has to be more than murder and mayhem every week. When Boardwalk Empire killed off the popular character Jimmy Darmondy , the show really wasn't the same anymore. I fear Game of Thrones might end up like that.
