If you think this (episode/season) has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

They've been saying Jon Snow is dead, making sure to say his *******'s name.
And I agree in thinking that episode one is too soon for resurrection, maybe three or four. They've got to give Melisandre the idea for it and a good reason to try. Establish why Davos is so protective of a boy's body he barely knows and why the Night's Watch wants it so badly. And show that Bran can see the truth in the past/present/future before revealing Jon's lineage.
Also, I'm pretty sure Tormund's line 'I thought HE was the man to lead us through the Long Night. But I was wrong' is him talking about Mance not Jon. More misdirection showing Jon's face there
quote:Wasn't that actually the kind of rapey scene that they changed from the book? He actually raped his sister in the sept next to his dead, inbred son. Don't think Jaime is a virtuous guy who is concerned about church etiquette.
Well I banged my sister

Quick question, I want to believe R+L=J, because it would make a great story, but one seemingly minor thing bothers me. As a child, Jon gets the pox and almost dies. Aren't Targaryens supposed to never get sick?
quote:
I have a hard time imagining Jon Snow being resurrected after the first two episodes. He is dead and about to rot... how long do y'all think he can just lay around and not be either burned or disposed of? Plus (and not that I know R'hollor's rules or anything), it seemed like based on Thoros' resurrections that time was definitely of the essence.
quote:
If you want to see how Jon comes back, watch the beginning of episode 5 from season 3.
quote:Targs can get sick. In both the Dunk and Egg stories and in the World of Ice and Fire, there are examples of Targarians dying of illnesses (too lazy to look up examples but they're there). They are probably more immune than most, being mostly Valerinan blood, but the book canon is clear that Targs can get sick. Hell, in Dance of Dragons Dany seems to have a mild case of the Pale Mare illness (as well as what seems to be an obvious miscarriage - that's not really a sickness though)

quote:Dany's brother Viserys was killed with molten gold. But, molten gold is not quite fire...
For the show watcher, Jon is just an overachiever. You don't bring back dead overachievers just to do it. They don't bring him back until they establish that he critical to the big picture. They can't do that until they establish he is half Targaryen. They can't do that until Bran visits the TOJ. So, Jon comes back after the TOJ scene. Which i think is Episode 3 "Oathbreaker". Ned breaks his oath to Robert and protects a Targaryen child. Jon breaks his oath to the Nights Watch. Brienne breaks some kind of oath to somebody.
My guess...Jon's revival involves fire, establishing to the show-watcher that he is dragon-worthy. Later, Tyrion will survive unscathed the dragon-fire introduction hinted at in trailer 2. That will establish for the audience that Tyrion is also dragon-worthy. Boom. Three Dragons. Three Riders. Wait for next season.
I know GRRM says Targaryens aren't immune to fire. But, until fire kills a Targaryen on HBO, for all intents and purposes Targaryens on tv are immune to fire.

The show also gives the impression of immunity to heat in general with the hot bath scene.

What is known, is that when someone says "it is known", the known next response is "it is known". Any other response is basically saying "fight me bro", and I just didn't feel like fighting.
