The latest episode of 'Game of Thrones' proved once again that no character is safe from being killed off from the show. Little Shireen Baratheon (Kelsey Ingram) was abruptly removed from the story when her father Stannis (Stephen Dillane) finally had her burned alive to appease the Lord of the Light.

The sacrifice of his only offspring instantly made Stannis a villain in the eyes of his adoring fans, and shocked 'A Song of Ice and Fire' readers. This was because Shireen is actually still alive and well in the books.

Another character who has survived the cut is Kit Harington's character Jon Snow. The actor was recently a guest on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' where he was asked to judge Jon Snow impersonators. Harington was also questioned about what he would do if the character unexpectedly gets killed off from the show.

"I don't know how I could top 'Thrones,'" the actor responded. "I think I would probably just give it up."

Kimmel also asked Harington about the infamous 'Hardhome' battle scene, which the 'Silent Hill' actor confirmed took 25 days to film. Harington also talked about having lunch with the Night's King in the cast tent.

Jon Snow and the Night's King had an epic showdown in Season Five's eighth episode. After the 20 minute battle, the two ended up glaring at each other as Jon Snow escapes with the surviving wildlings. The Night's King then raises his arms to raise the dead and creates a new viral meme called 'Come at Me Snow.'

'Game of Thrones' is getting ready for the season finale, which is titled 'Mother's Mercy.' The title has led to speculations that the icy Lady Stoneheart will finally make an appearance. Others suggest that the title refers to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), the Mother of Dragons who escaped in the previous episode.

The season finale will air on June 14 on HBO.
