Game Of Thrones Theory

GOT6

***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***

If you are anything like me, then you have been eagerly awaiting for the new season of Game of Thrones to commence.  It just so happens that a brand new trailer was released today that features a shot of the beautiful Jon Snow *swoons*.

Jon Snow

Seriously, check out the trailer for yourself.  Now, you may be thinking that after last season’s finale we saw the end of Jon Snow.  I, along with many other fans, do not think this is the case.  I will do my very best to explain my theory to you, but if you get lost along the way I offer my sincerest apologies.

The Theory

So, here’s my theory.  Just before Jon Snow was unjustly murdered by his brothers (I hate you Ollie) the Red Woman, Melisandre, mysteriously appeared back at Castle Black (just kidding, it wasn’t mysterious at all, she finally realized that Stannis was not going to win the war he was trying to fight).  However, I do not think that she is going to use her dark, weird, witchy light powers and bring Jon back to life.  I do think that Jon is going to be resurrected and that she is going to realize that he is the warrior that she has been having visions of all along. Now, you might be wondering why I think this is going to happen. Well, allow me to lay out some evidence for you.

The Evidence 

  • Jon Snow is a bastard, hence the last name Snow, but are you sure that he is Ned Stark’s bastard.  Throughout the show hints are dropped to make you doubt whether or not Ned is his father, because it was extremely out of character for him. This leads you to believe that Jon’s mother is actually Ned’s sister, Lynna Stark.
  • Lynna Stark was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen, but there are nuances that point to Lynna actually being in love with Rhaegar and eloping with him.  This would make Rhaegar Jon’s father.  Which would make Jon a Targaryen, which is why Ned may have claimed him in order to protect him.
  • If Jon is a Targaryen, then the possibility of his rebirth (or resurrection) through fire exists.
  • It is typical after a death for the body to be burned.
  • Jon (Tarygaryen) + fire (because he’s dead) = New and Improved Resurrected Jon!

Upon seeing this, Melisandre will realize that Jon is the one that we should put our faith in. Well, Jon and Daenerys (if she isn’t killed first). Do with this what you will, but I’ve got $20 that says this happens.
