‘Game of Thrones’ Reveals Jon Snow’s Fate (Spoilers)

After months of speculation, “Game of Thrones” has finally revealed the fate of fan favorite Jon Snow.

(Spoiler alert: Do not read until you’ve watched the second episode of season six of “Game of Thrones,” titled “Home.”)

The cast and creators have long insisted that “Jon Snow is dead” repeatedly in various interviews leading up to the sixth season premiere.

But near the end of the second episode, Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) convinces a reluctant Melisandre (Carice van Houten) to work her magic to resurrect Jon Snow (Kit Harington) — the exact question fans have long been hoping for. “Do you know of any magic that could help bring him back?” he asks her.

She’s lost her faith, but he pleads his case. “I’m not asking the Lord of Light for help,” he says. “I’m asking the woman who showed me that miracles exist.”

So she washes Jon’s body, »
