In the wake of the season five finale where fan favorite, Kit Harrington’s Jon Snow, is betrayed and subsequently killed, fans have been left in a heartbroken desperate fury to theorize his fate. HBO has no shame in leaving its viewers craving more and with marketing tactics of invoking the image of the dead, not once but twice, the fury has seen no hint of dying down.
Bloodied in the poster, but appearing to be standing–no small feat for a man stabbed 6 times and last seen bleeding out in the snow–and starring in all promotion thus far, Jon Snow appears to have some place in the coming season of the Emmy-award winner.
The show is not due to return until April, but television marketing has failed if it’s not sneaking in at the bottom of your screen, interrupting your Hulu broadcasts and commanding your every thought.
