Here’s how fans reacted to last night’s Game of Thrones premiere
Spoilers ahead.
This post contains spoilers for major plot points in Game of Thrones.
Heading into the show’s sixth season, one of GoT’s major questions involved the fate of Jon Snow. Was he really dead? And if so, would he stay dead? Resurrection is possible in the Game of Thrones universe, and many wondered if the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch was a candidate.
Viewers spent the offseason speculating—like most GoT plot points, there were troves of fan theories around Jon Snow’s season five fate—and many hoped that Sunday would bring some answers.
So, is Jon Snow still dead?
Your spoiler-heavy answer is—as of last night’s episode—yes.
Here’s what some people had to say about it:
Sad Jon Snow is dead but real talk he has never looked better laying on that table. Is that a McQueen jacket? Loving it all. #gameofthrones

There was another development on Sunday’s episode, involving Melisandre (aka The Red Woman). At the end of the episode, she revealed that she’s been keeping her youthful appearance intact using some sort of magic necklace. She’s actually very, very, very old.

Melisandre has been using a really strong Instagram filter #GameofThrones

In the end, there were few answers to the Jon Snow question. The internet waits with bated breath.
