Game of Thrones - Book Readers' Thread - - - Part 20

I can't say I totally believe him, either.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Do we have a good reason not to believe him, other than just hopefulness?

Because, you know, there are still people who theorize that Ned Stark isn't dead in the books.

Again, I want to believe he's coming back too, but on this show, who the **** knows?

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

well, you can't get resurrected unless you're dead, but his affirmation is a bit unsettling. pretty easy to write off him getting wighted or warging into ghost with those comments, but.. that bit about wrapping, i don't know. seems like he's most likely dead. i know I'm not watching anymore unless i see some leaked set photos of him mel next season. d&d can suck a bag of d's.

Dear Kit,

I'm going to assume Jon comes back until his body is burnt on the show.

What with the R+L=J, and the events of Hardhome and his contract renewal I doubt he is gone for good. No need to renew a six season contract if he is going to die for good in season 5.

Mostly because Martin has basically confirmed he is alive and that there are two many important loose ends. You also have Mel at the wall what is the point of her being there? Actors are known to lie to cover up the truth. I say two theories either Mel resurrects him or he wargs into another person and they will have a new actor play him.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Why are we assuming that he will come back into that body? We don't know ****.

Kit could be telling the truth and we'll see a new actor play Jon Snow going forward.

 

[Victarion]

Mel is at the Wall and knows from Thoros that her god can revive the dead.

Cause that would require them to recast which is a risky proposition if the viewers dont take to the new actor it's dead in the snow. Giving him a new body in a book is one thing. Giving him a new body in show is a whole other. It's an unnecessary risk. A new body doesn't add enough to make it worth the risk. Unless...

Jon comes back in Stannis's body!

 

[Sawyer]

Jon comes back in Stannis's body!

Ugh.

 

[Schlosser85]

Ew, downgrade.

 

[Mysteryman]

I will save myself the aggravation and assume that he is dead .

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Mel is at the Wall and knows from Thoros that her god can revive the dead.

Unfortunately, she seems to be a lapsed R'hllorist at the moment.

 

[Marvolo]

Ugh.

Well, if he isn't getting his own body back it's gotta be some other empty vessel. So it'd have to be Stannis or some other random dead persons body. At least the actor who plays Stannis is known and we trust his ability to act. Jon coming back in the body of some noname soldier's body would just suck.

I'm hoping he keeps his own body, but if not I'd rather he get Stannis's than anyone else's.

And think about this. Mel said Stannis is Azor Ahai. Yet she knows something is unique about Jon. So she may have been right on both accounts. She did see Stannis as Azor in visions, but she didn't realize it was Stannis's body being occupied by Jon's soul.

 

[Victarion]

I would like to hear what was going on with her when she left Stannis and his army.

 

[John Locke]

Jon Snow comes back in Hodor's body.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

i'm 60/40 he's dead, but mel arriving at castle black sets up what exactly for next season? she coulda just taken her punk ass to mereen.

the bolton banners get burned, by Jon and his army of wildlings i imagine.

This is me. She's there for a reason.

That's actually a really good theory. But **** me I don't know what to believe anymore.

 

[YodaOfTheNorth]

I think he said he would not be back next season but ghost will. So my guess is kit won't be needed until season 7. Bran will likely be on a lot and Jon will be missing but will get ghost allot

 

[laytonc32]

here is another possibility, he said Jon Snow is dead, so he will no longer be Jon Snow anymore but now Azor Azah or another name.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

if kit ain't back i'm not watching but...

Jorah's gonna murder daario next season isn't he...
