Season 6 Episode 1 Discussion "The Red Woman"

Are people really so dead-set on Jon not being gone that they're willing to throw all of the series' previously-established internal logic out the window? Cause it feels like that's what's happening.

 

Such as?

 

Him miraculously being resurrected after his body is burned is wholly inconsistent with the series' previously-established internal logic, and circumstances as they've been set up just don't track with the idea of Melisandre bringing him back to life (even if she knew how, which she doesn't)

At this point, the only way Jon could conceivably come back would be for the Brotherhood without Banners and Thoros to miraculously and inexplicably show up at the Wall before Thorne's deadline of "nightfall" comes and goes, which would completely defy logic on a "deus ex machina" scale.

 

An analysis video pointed out that the bloodstain in the snow looked like a dragon taking flight. Davos did spend a lot of time looking at it.

 

1) If he is Rhaegar's son, then he won't burn any more than Dany did in Drogo's pyre.

2) Melisandre is a priestess of R'hollor, and possibly centuries old at that! It's likely she has performed resurrections or, at the very least, knows "the old words" which aren't all that many. Remember how quickly and easily Thoros did it after the Hound slew Beric? Here's a refresher:

Game of Thrones Beric Dondarrion's resurrection

 

Targaryens aren't fireproof.

Just finished the episode. I thought it was a good set-up of things. Though I have some plot issues.

 

A lot of it felt like deleted scenes from the season five finale.
