“Game of Thrones” Character Says He’s Really Dead

Long Story The finale of the fifth season of HBO’s Game of Throneshas traumatized fans, who have taken to social media to express their pain at the death of Jon Snow.

The episode is also in the running to become the single most shared file at one particular time via a P2P network, with around 225,000 people presently seeding it in a BitTorrent client. However, will it stick?

The season finale ended in what you could call a bloodbath which has left 90% of “Game of Thrones” fans in shock.

Drop This Fact: Cersei’s walk of shame scene took three days to shoot.

The bastard son of beheaded Ned Stark and ex- Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch was brutally murdered by his own men in the season finale of the show’s fifth series last night, and fans aren’t happy. Well, according to the actor who plays him, no such luck: he’s really and truly dead.

Game of Thrones will return for Season 6 on HBO in spring 2016.

But is this really the end for Jon? Melisandre conveniently shows up at Castle Black the day that Jon Snow is murdered. Moreover, Stannis lost many of his men, but decided to head on over to Winterfell regardless.

And yet it definitely is a ‘what just happened?’ scene - or at least a ‘what might happen next?’ scene. There are ice zombies and people coming back from the dead and smoke babies and tons of other magical things that suggest there may be some hope left for Jon. After skinchangers die their spirit gets transferred into their animal and the two souls merge into one.

“Jon fell to his knees”.

However, some fans still see a little sliver of light where this storyline is concerned.

As book readers and TV viewers eagerly wait for answers, it is expected that discussions about Snow’s fate will continue to persist until Martin reveals his true fate in his sixth book, “Winds of Winter” or until the premiere of GoT’s sixth season. Jon Snow’s death at the hands of his Night Watch Brothers. We’re big believers in the RT+LS=JS theory, and will be impatiently waiting on it to come into play next season.

“Game of Thrones” tends to shy away from the talk of prophecy and destiny that’s so heavily emphasized in the books, so much so that we have heard very tiny about Azor Ahai, a legendary hero in Westeros folklore. And how should they do it?

Given Melisandre’s interest in Jon earlier in the season, it isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where she - now filled with all of the mystical … stuff … that you get from burning the child of the king alive - could revive Jon and save him.
