*Gasp* He's back. 

In the least, most shocking moment in Game of Thrones history, the beloved bastard Jon Snow came back to life. Snow's assassination by the Night's Watch in Season 5's finale left viewers outraged and inconsolable -- leading to an entire year of "IS HE ACTUALLY DEAD?!" theorizing and investigating.

While the show runners grew weary demanding that yes, Jon Snow was actually dead, no one it thought to ask the question "Will Jon Snow remain dead all season?" 

Tonight, we got our answer as Melisandre and her red magic -- to be fair, this was a popular theory circulating the Internet all year -- revived Jon from his bloody slumber, which is only known to his direwolf Ghost. 

And, fittingly, the Internet lost its shit. 

























Watchers on the Wall, beware.
