Game of Thrones announces season six premiere with a bloody Jon Snow
The Verge ^ | November 23, 2015 | Jamieson Cox

Game of Thrones' sixth season is premiering next April. (Spoilers ahead, if that's a concern for you.) HBO shared the new season's first promotional image on Twitter this morning, and it features the bloody visage of a character that currently seems to be hovering somewhere between alive and dead: Jon Snow, former Stark bastard and Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. When we last saw Snow, he was being lured into a trap by disillusioned members of his brigade and stabbed to death in a display of brutal mutiny. Of course, there's been a ton of speculation about his true status since season five's finale aired last June; death doesn't have to mean much within a series that's featured several resurrections.

Without Jon Snow who would people watching the show root for?

Never watched it directly. Only through the pop cultural prism of South Park...

I would say Stannis, but they Killed him too!

And his Character >:(

Brianne Killed the Hound, Killed Stannis.

I am surprised they didn't rush her up to Castle Black to kill Jon Snow!

Who is she NOT killing?

Daenarys, of course.

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.

If Brienne ever bumps into Sansa she may acciddentally kill her too.

But no one can kill Arya.

I meant to say they killed Stannis' reputation as a Character.

But Yeah ClearCase_guy, Brianne is the Show Runners Little Grim Reaper whenever they want to tie up a plot or Character they don't like.

But as far as who do have left to root for? Arya the Blind and Bran the Boring? No Thanks! >:(

It doesn’t pay to have the last name Stark on that show.

How could Jon Snow live after being stabbed over and over? Impossible! Oh yes, and I still say Hillary should be paraded through the streets naked while someone says "Shame shame shame" over and over. OK, maybe not naked, but at least we should be able to throw tomatoes at her.

Waiting to see if Sansa and Theon Greyjoy survived their jump from the ramparts. I like the character Bronn played by Jerome Flynn. He also stars in “Ripper Street.”

Funny, when Arya and Brienne bumped into each other and were happy-talking, I said, uh-oh, they like each other. Looks like The Hound is a goner for sure...somebody is always dying when you see Arya. Though technically he was alive at the end...as a dying man.

Actually I gave up watching the show because of the sound effects, someone dying in horrible audibility every 5 minutes starts to desensitize you to the plot. I'll have to work on that if I ever aspire to the Iron Throne.

If you’re not rooting for Arya, you’ve clearly not read the books.
