This deleted scene from Season 5 lays foundation for Jon Snow’s murder

The Game of Thrones Season 5 DVD boxset will be released in under two weeks, and Entertainment Weekly has just posted one of several deleted scenes featured in the release. Watch above.

This scene was cut from the Season 5 premiere, and shows Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju) and Alliser Thorne (Owen Teale) squaring off in the Castle Black courtyard. Thorne implies that, given his druthers, he’d have Tormund executed, Tormund reminds Alliser that he doesn’t have the power to make that call (this is before the Night’s Watch elects anyone as a new Lord Commander), and Thorne stalks off, miffed.

Of all the deleted scenes on the Season 5 boxset, this is the one that has the most impact on the story. It doesn’t have a TON of impact, mind you—viewers can still understand Thorne’s motivations without it—but you can draw a clear line from this scene, in which Thorne makes it clear he’s not happy about housing wildlings at Castle Black, and the final scene of the year, in which he carries out his plan to assassinate Jon Snow on account of the latter’s pro-wildling stance.

The Game of Thrones Season 5 DVD boxset comes out on March 15. Look for more on it closer to the release date.
