8 times 'Game of Thrones' insiders blatantly lied to you about Jon Snow
[Caution: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead!]
If a man is only as good as his word, then the cast and showrunners of Game of Thrones are NO GOOD AT ALL.
Impressive alumni of the J.J. Abrams/Benedict Cumberbatch School of Widespread Untruths, everyone from Kit Harington to Game of Thrones directors to Siri herself has been lying about the fate of a certain character for the past 10 months. (Even if they weren't technically technically lying, since Jon was indeed dead... before he came back to life on Sunday's episode.)
