EDIDIONG'S PUBLIC DIARY

If you’ve watched the season 5 finale of
Game Of Thrones and can’t yet figure
out how the writer was able to break the
hearts of millions with the somewhat
disastrous ending, then raise your hands.
The last episode of season 5 is still
perhaps the most gruelling yet in the
history of television and the reason for
this is not farfetched. The number of
deaths on that episode was at an all
time high and each of the deaths was as
bizarre and gruelling as they come. But
the death that seemed to shock
everyone to the core of their beings is
that of Jon Snow (Kit Harington).
The writers of the show did the
unthinkable by having Jon Snow stabbed
to death by his fellow Night’s Watch
brothers who didn’t approve of his
actions of making peace with the
Wildlings. What made the death even
more touching was having young Olly
(Brenock O’Connor), who seemed to be
Jon’s protege, deliver the final stab. It
was saddening to say the least.
Even though Kit Harington has said his
character, Jon Snow is dead, it is hard to
believe given that the character is one of
the reasons why we watch Game Of
Thrones. This perhaps makes us think
the show won’t just take him away, or
would they?
Author of the books the show was based
on, George R. R. Martin when asked
about Jon Snow’s death answered by
saying “Oh, you think he’s dead, do you?”
he had also said in an earlier interview in
2011. “My readers should know better
than to take anything as gospel.”
He also said recently that, “If there’s one
thing we know in A Song of Ice and Fire
is that death is not necessarily
permanent.”
In hopes that Jon Snow would come
back from what seems a fatal end, here
are 5 Reasons we believe that Jon Snow
would make a come back.
Jon could be a warg
The younger brother of Jon Snow, Bran
played by Isaac Hempstead-Wright has
the ability to put his mind and soul in
that of an animal. As such, it is possible
that Jon is one too and he could have
put his soul into Ghost, his direwolf, to
preserve it before his body died. This
theory is very much possible given that
the last words he says before his death
in the book is “Ghost”.
The Red Woman
The priestess (Red Woman) Melisandre,
could be one person who might play a
major role in ensuring Jon comes back.
In the Season finale, she arrives at
Castle Black a day before the death of
Jon right after losing Stannis, the man
she wanted as king. So far, we’ve not
actually seen Melisandre bring back any
dead person, it has happened a few
times on the show. The Priest, Thoros of
Myr resurrected Beric Dondarrion, six
times using powers from the Lord of
Light, who so happens to also be the
same god Melisandre believes in. Given
her long time interest in Jon, she sure
won’t give up now.
Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon
The long held belief that Jon is Ned
Stark’s bastard seems to be wrong. What
seemed to convince a lot of people to
this fact is because Jon was raised by
Ned but in truth, Jon’s real parents are
actually Rhaegar Targaryen and Ned
Stark’s sister, Lyanna, who are both
dead. If Jon truly has Targaryen blood in
him, and Men of the Night’s Watch
performs their ritual of burning his body
so that he doesn’t come back as a wight,
then Jon may just be reborn the way
Daenerys was in season one.
White Walker
If the men of the Night’s Watchmen who
killed Jon decide to hide his body than
going through the funeral rituals of
burning his body, this may result in Jon
coming back as a wight (Game Of
Thrones Zombies). This fact would be
depressing to say the least if we
remember that the Leader of the White
Walkers (Night’s King), is close by in
Hardhome, coupled with the fact that
he’s interested in Jon.
Though it’s quite hard to imagine Jon as
a zombie, he may actually come back as
a wight with good intentions. The book
made mention of a character called
Coldhands- a wight who can control his
actions and Jon may come back as
this.This might be saddening but it’s still
better than no Jon at all.
Azor Ahai
This perhaps is the biggest and most
controversial
