Hey youtubers, it's Charlie! Game of Thrones just left us this early Christmas Present.
It's a teaser for Game of Thrones Season 6. It's the first teaser poster image, so what
does this mean? I'm just going to say broad spoiler warning for everything through season
five on game of thrones and there's actually is a new round of the giveaway all you have
to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave a comment on this video it is a $20 Amazon
gift card so here we go, what's going on here is HBO isn't saying that Jon Snow is alive
they're definitely telling the truth when they say dead is dead I can't remember which
executive said I think it was the president of HBO to TCAs this year were of course he
got the question is Jon Snow coming back his Kit Harrington coming back to the show and
he said all I know is dead is dead so what does that mean that just means that Jon Snow
did in fact died during that for the watch scene at the end of season five but it's what
happens after he dies the HBO was not talking about see you can poke fun at the game of
thrones or the HBO people is much as you want but technically they weren't lying in of course
there has been Kit Harrington hair watch if he if you don't know what that is it just
you know people judging the status of Jon Snow based on Kit Harrington's here Kit Harrington
said that when he signed on for season one a game of thrones he was not allowed to ever
cut his hair he had to keep it Jon Snow a link so of course when he was killed off here
watch began like the minute he cut his hair that would've been confirmation that he's
not coming back to the show because of you not to wear a wig that it takes a long time
to grow hair back but if you been watching game of thrones the last couple of seasons
even if you haven't read the books you know that when a new season starts it usually picks
up in the moment after the previous season finale so course we see Jon Snow gets stabbed
by all of his brothers the nights watched it stands to reason that he would have to
come back for at least a couple moments at the beginning of season six so they could
address what happens to his body do they burn it to the wilding's take it does Melisandre
take it to someone else take it so even if he took the show at face value Dr. John Snow
is dead Kit Harrington the actor would have to come back to address what happens after
his death but here's my big question for you guys book readers and show watchers did you
either read this moment with Jon Snow at the end of dance with dragons proceed on the TV
show and take it at face value did you assume that he was dead and not coming back and if
so why did you think that he was not coming back at all I feel like what ended up happening
is is we all had this shared moment when we saw on the show even if you read the books
and you knew it was coming used to kinda share this moment with everyone in the world we
like oh my God what are they get you know what we gonna do now how are they going to
bring them back because we haven't had wins a winter yet so even if you read the books
you don't know what's going to happen to him in moments of crisis like that usually your
brain goes into survival mode and you start trying to find a way out of the situation
so it's like wait a minute how could he survive this maybe their line to us maybe he will
wake up at the beginning of season six but this are doing interviews any minute, can't
the person who directed the episode was like yeah we played it like he was dead we're definitely
sure that Jon Snow died so you really have to start looking at the clues outside of the
show and that's really where you take the experience to the nth degree at the way I
typically experience that the TV shows in the movies and the things that I really enjoyed
as if it's this giant continuum where the story unfolds based on new information every
day so like all here things about her show her a story that will change the way that
I thought about it before so kind of unfolds in real time like you don't wait for the next
season the show to start like that's the literal text then you have the subtext were you know
you pull out meeting from cryptic clues then there's the stuff that you see from the set
the things that the actor say in interviews but even if you don't read all that stuff
there still a lot of foreshadowing in the books for what John Snow's fate is going to
be I did do a video all about resurrection in a song of ice and fire softball put a link
in the description but less to say the show has held back on some big resurrections like
some notable characters that it hasn't done probably in service of this Jon Snow twist
just so that it seems like a bigger deal so if you wonder why there hasn't been ladies
stone heart is probably just in the name of simplicity just so they don't have to deal
with all these extra scenes and so this big John Snow twist is a much bigger deal for
the funny thing is is they kind of 40 tip their hat with Barrick and Darian the Lord
of light brought him back 6�6 times so when you think about how laughably fast Melisandre
made it from that area near winter fell up to the wall like she made it in less than
a day why would the producers been time and space for her in such a hilarious way if her
presence near Jon snows that weren't in important thing I haven't spoken a lot about it but
west roast is actually a really big place they compressed time on the show when characters
are traveling from place to place just to speed the narrative along the would've taken
Melisandre almost a week to make it back to the wall but she did it within the span of
the day and I'd I don't think that she was blood magic to make her horse run faster with
the real question now is how is Jon Snow coming back I meet is Melisandre going to go lay
hands on him is he just going to wake up on his own I do think her presence is required
even if Jon snows going to be a tool of the red God or receive his boon that I think the
red priest is necessary but here's another bequest of you guys after you saw John Snow
gets stabbed what was your rationale for how he would come back but did you think he would
work into ghost did you think that the white walkers would co-opt them I felt like of all
the least likely things to happen that would've been a lot of fun but I do think in the grand
scheme of things Jon Snow will be a character to fight for good regardless of what ends
up happening to him in the end sometimes when you're theory crafting I feel like it helps
if you combine show things and book things like you can't take just the books because
there's so much extra stuff that could lead you in different directions the TV show is
much more linear it cuts out a lot of the extra stuff if you combine clues from the
books and from the show you know you think about R plus L equals J there's little bit
of confirmation for that in some the things that littlefinger said the season as well
stuff we've seen from the set or lease tower of joy things I would say it's confirmation
of our plus L equals J even though I still believe that will let us all get height and
no I'm not expecting any big trailer or anything like that for season six at least till February
next year that's around when the season five trailer posted and if you guys didn't know
game of thrones season six won't premier till much later in April what's happening is is
their starting a show called vinyl it's get a push into the beginning of April swords
bumping game of thrones by just a little bit I'm not expecting season six to premier to
like the third week in April which is is like a couple weeks later than it normally airs
it just means the finale might spill into July and for those of you asking about the
wins a winter I do think the George RR Martin is going to finish winds of winter sometime
before season six premieres there hasn't been any official confirmation I tweeted this picture
but this is just a fan picture this is an official if it does come out before season
six starts is actually going to be really hard to try and work that into my TV show
videos without doing crazy spoilers so we will talk about wins a winter things next
year but all this up to figure out how to deal with spoilers because on the TV shows
are on break this week I'll probably have time for game of thrones Q&A to post all your
questions in the comments and if you guys haven't been watching it Jessica Jones is
