Ah, but Stannis’s witch is in the compound and she covets the Baratheon blood of Jon Snow. She will make sure Jon doesn’t die.

You are correct.

[ConjunctionJunction]

If Jon lives (and I believe he does), it’s probably because he is brought back to life by Melisandre, the Red Woman.

Beric Dondarrion was resurrected by Thoros of Myr, a Red Priest of R’hllor, the Lord of Light. Melisandre is also a priestess of the Lord of Light, and presumably, has the same power to resurrect that Thoros has.

I wonder if HBO has worked out some kind of deal with George RR Martin to have him tell the network how the story will end.

He'll never finish the next two books in a reasonable amount of time for a TV show to end its run.

He gave them the outline last year.

And you’re *sure* The Hound is dead?

It’s the only reason I keep watching.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Jon Snow is speculated to be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen (the son and heir of mad King Aerys). If so, he would not be a Baratheon, but a Targaryen.

Personally, I am rooting for the Mother of Dragons, the Breaker of Chains...

I found a video that cracked me up. It’s a bunch of scenes taken out of context that show Ramsey Bolton is the kindest man in Westeros.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Jon Snow is the bastard son of Eddard Stark.

. . . who would people watching the show root for?

Tyrion Lannister--Peter Dinklage. Arya Stark--Maisie Williams. Sansa Stark--Sophie Turner.

I personally hope for a resurrection of Joffrey so someone can kill him again.

[Enterprise]

Neither the Hound nor Stannis are confirmed as being dead. When we last saw the Hound he was in bad condition. When we last saw Stannis it appeared that Brianne was going to dispatch him, but we haven’t seen the body yet. I’m betting that neither of them is dead.

[SoothingDave]

Jon Snow is the bastard son of Eddard Stark.

That's what he said. But did that really sound in character for him to have a bastard?

[SgtHooper]

I see the tortured and castrated brother coming back into power and laying Holy hell on earth as revenge.

[ConjunctionJunction]

On the TV show Stannis and his wife, Selyse, were discussing Jon, and she referred to him as the son of “some tavern slut.” Stannis retorts, “Perhaps. That wasn’t Ned Stark’s way.” Ned would not have dishonored his marriage with Catelyn.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Since the series has decided NOT to follow the books, he could turn out to be Kal-El (superman).

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"That's what he said. But did that really sound in character for him to have a bastard?"

The theory is that Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark (Eddard's sister) so he has Targaryen and Stark blood. The other theory is, three dragons and three Targaryen's riding them at the end to destroy the white walkers. The three Targaryens are Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister who is actually a bastard child and that's why his father hated him.
