Jon Snow is dead. Long live Jon Snow. I suppose we’ll find hints in casting and billing notes for Season 6 to know for certain if he is really dead. If Kit Harrington shows up on the rosters, we know Jon Snow isn’t really dead. And besides, nobody is ever for sure, absolutely, one-hundred percent dead in this story. Arya thinks Jaqen H’ghar is dead, but no, that wasn’t Jaqen. We think Catelyn Stark is dead but, in the books at least, Thoros of Myr (a red priest, like Melisandre) brings her back, much like he’s brought back Beric Dondarrian so many times (without ever burning a soul.) Seriously, I'm sure he will be reborn in some way either as an Other or as Azor Ahai (who is definitely not Stannis now that we know he is dead.)
Speaking of Stannis, I'm glad Brienne was the one to kill him. I never thought Stannis would be king, or at least not king for long. He was such an a**. How could anyone let their daughter burn to the stake...
And Arya killing Meryn Trant was so satisfying... These "good" moments in Game of Thrones are so rare, let’s just enjoy them. Arya needed a kill, needed to whittle away at that long death list of hers. I think being blind will help her to become no one, but I do agree that her storyline is getting really weird.
I think Daenerys will be just fine. I'm just glad she realized that Essos wasn't her home and now that all the Baratheons are dead, Dragonstone is left unprotected and it would be a perfect place for Daenerys to begin her conquest of Westeros just like her ancestor Aegon the Conquerer. I personally can't wait to see the Others fighting her dragons... It will be CGI madness. :)
