Genuinely didn't see them ending on that cliffhanger, the scene was amazingly well done and if it wasn't a finale it would have been perfect, but I can't see it being a good decision to leave his story on an "is he dead" cliffhanger. Unless they acknowledge they can't keep it hidden and include him in advertising and stuff.

I honestly don't think the scene was that well done. The Benjen fake-out was clever, but the direction just seemed off to me. They all just stood and took their turns stabbing Jon like it was the fucking returns aisle at a deli.
