Fans of HBO's hit show Game of Thrones who often notice that character Jon Snow always seems to have a miserable look on his face should check out the Tumblr blog fittingly titled, Jon Snow Looking Sad.
The Jon Snow Looking Sad blog features a collection of images of actor Kit Harrington looking sad, upset or gloomy on the fantasy show. For someone who deals with a lot of emotional turmoil throughout the Game of Thrones seasons -- his lover Ygritte did after all die in his arms at the end of season four -- Snow handles it all seemingly well. While Snow is a man of few words, he tends to show how he feels with telling facial expressions. The Jon Snow Looking Sad blog comically captures Snow's brooding facial expressions in a wide range of TV show stills.
