I view Alliser Thorne on the show as more of a misguided tragic figure. On the other hand, forgiving him doesn't seem to make sense.
Not sure where I got this sense of faux sympathy for this misguided, small minded, oh I got it. It may be because he represents "old school" blood and bone ideals, and is very principled and knightly. He believes he is doing whats right with a sense of duty, seniority, and honor.
They made sure we knew Stannis was a desperate evil madman before justice was served. Alliser Thorne still hasn't gotten that look how evil he is treatment. Thorne is more like Ned Stark. Jon killing a knight in revenge doesn't seem to fit his character, interested to see how Jon and Thorne's first interaction ends up.

I don't think Thorne is like Ned at all. The show has altered his character some by incorporating some of Bowen Marsh character. I think Martin writes him as a bitter, mean-spirited asshole. Always took a dump on Jon. Would have had Sam killed or maimed if he had his way. Allied with Slynt. Being at the Wall was his punishment for being on the losing side and he embodies what is wrong with the NW. But, that's just my opinion.
