Two things about Thorne:

1. Davos implied that Thorne is going to kill the brothers even if they surrendered in time. Would that make sense to anybody? Clearly betraying Jon wasn't a unanimous decision, and he had to convince them it was for the good of the watch. Could he stand by that if he also just slaughtered some of Jon's good friends?

2. I personally think it would have been cool if he wasn't one of the mutineers and actually helped bring them to justice. I thought his opinion about Jon may have changed after the Battle of Castle Black and being named first ranger. A part of me was even hoping he would back his lord commander even if he disagreed with him. It actually seems within his character (then again, he did always hate Jon).

I think once they missed the meeting in the dining hall, Thorne knew he couldn't trust them. He was faced with a choice where he would either have to live with them in his midst, always wondering if they would try to turn the watch on him or kill him in an ambush one night or let them leave, thus allowing the breaking of their oaths which after he has made such a big deal of how sacred the Night's Watch and their oaths are.

And since he is the one who actually opened the gate (or at least he gave the ok to have it opened), shouldn't he have killed himself along with Jon Snow?
