Game of Thrones - did anybody notice this with Jon Snow? (For the Watch)

[NewJeffCT]

Personally, I think the writer is grasping at straws here - it's most likely just the lighting.

“Hey, can you come look at this?”

These are the words of a crazy man, standing five inches away from his television set, clutching a bowl of dinner cereal for dear life, mouth agape with a mixture of intense focus, borderline delirium, and soggy cheerios. I am the crazy man, by the way, and this is me last night, speaking to a friend, who does not watch “Game of Thrones,” but has keener powers of observation than anyone I’ve met outside of McGruff the Crime Dog.*

4. it's not just the lighting

For whatever reason his eyes became lighter. Could be because they wanted people to think that they were turning to the strange blue color of the walking dead, or it was an indication of death (although that's stupid because the eyes of dying creatures human or animal don't lighten or otherwise change color), who knows, but it was apparent that it was no trick of lighting - ONLY the irises lighten and change color. In any scene if the lighting isn't perfect they do it again. The eyes lightening to a blue/green shade and just becoming lighter overall then the dark brown color was done on purpose for SOME reason.

I'm shocked that not everyone noticed the eyes growing lighter since it was so obvious. Game of Thrones the tv series is like that... miss one second of any episode and you might miss seeing or hearing something really important. The show does it a lot more than the books do. For example, the episode where Sansa gets her period and is frantic to hide the evidence in the bed I've watched at least 20 or more times, but until the last time when I made myself watch EVERY second of a number of episodes for the first time I noticed that she was caught out by the Hound. Of course, I knew that SOMEONE caught her out, but never knew who or how since the show only showed him for about 2 seconds, and the scene then goes right to Cercei talking to her about what her getting her periods would really mean. ALL the other times I watched that scene I somehow always missed that 2 seconds that shows she was caught out by the Hound, and with how many many times I watched that and other episodes where similar happened I had missed that vital 2 seconds.

Jon Snow is not permanently dead. He and Dany are the only absolutely necessary characters that need to make it to likely to the very end. The producers and the actors HAVE to act like the character is really really dead or it kills the cliffhanger for next season. Even when I read the scene in the books I knew that he has to be resurrected or most of the story doesn't make sense. I even thought it was pretty stupid since in the books Jon's supposed death by being shot by Ygritte happened already, so doing another Jon-full-of-holes event just seemed really idiotic (in the books when Jon is shot up by Ygritte it's not apparent that he lives), but since it was the end of the book there had to big a huge cliffhanger just like all the other books.

5. The show runners have stated that Jon Snow is dead, but...

they didn't say that Kit Harrington is not coming back. Two very different things my friends.

6. I've seen a lot of speculation...

...that Jon Snow becomes the new Night's King in order to make peace with the army of the dead at some future point when the wall comes down, as many people seem to think will happen.

But that would involve Kit Harrington coming back, and he and the producers swear up and down that he's not.

If they're lying to that degree, they deserve whatever wrath they will face from fans. I don't know what to think. If they had just stayed silent, I would be assuming, like everyone else, that this was not the end for Jon.

7. Harington has already been spotted

in Belfast, not far from where they have one of their major sets - maybe he's just dropping in to say "hi" to the old crew?

[CrawlingChaos]

8. Or they might need him for scenes of his dead body

What's your best guess about what's to come?

[NewJeffCT]

10. No idea to be honest

I'm guessing his consciousness is in Ghost somehow, and maybe Melisandre will do something to bring Jon's body back?
