Except we’re not.

It was heartbreaking to watch a young Rickon Stark, pursued by Ramsay’s archers, run towards his big brother Jon Snow – in a straight line. The world collectively cried out “ZIG ZAG!” in the moments before Rickon was pierced and killed by an arrow – and among them was SNL cast member, Ghostbusters star and Game of Thrones super fan Leslie Jones.

"They wouldn't have killed you if you zig zagged!" Jones exclaims to Art Parkinson, the actor who portrays – er, portrayed – Rickon.
