Ok...watched the episode 2 times straight.
Trying to catch up but... Was Lena Heady's face CG'd on the body? At times it looked totally fake and out of sync with her body.

He was resurrected by some mad science.
This didn't actually happen. And readers should not have to provide answers as to what is and isn't a spoiler. They are different mediums, their way of revealing things are different from each other. I'm not asking for an apology, just accept that posts like yours do not belong here.

I honestly thought that too. Maybe she doesn't do full frontal?

Oh fuck, was that zombie Mountain?? I forgot what happens to him.
Wait, so the priests can bring back the dead...the walkers bring back the dead....
I gotta say, if Jon Snow is resurrected...I wouldnt know how to feel.
I'm okay with him being dead. It's bitter as fuck, but you gotta commit. Bringing him back would feel very cheap.
All this fan theory crap, I thought it would end in something awesome for him. Where the hell is everyone else like the wildlings and his friends.
Omg Im so frustrated

I think so. Looked very uncanny valley.
He was poisoned by Oberyn and the reject Maester guy said he could heal him but he'd be "changed"
Well one of the little threads this season was Qyburn being the Westerosi 'Victor von Frankenstein.' Sooooooo yeah, he's probably not all that happy underneath the fancy gold armor.
Yes. Body double with CG face from Headey.

It looked like the shot of her in the cell was real but I doubt she would subject herself to walking through extras on the street, naked, while they shouted and threw shit at her.

I dont even remember him being dead. haha. Im good at paying attention and remembering things
I don't think they've killed anyone off by leaving it to the imagination. They've showed them all.
Also what the fuck. Jon!!!! I don't even want to watch anymore.

ed: ^^ Yeah, Sansa/Theon landed on snow, they're probably fine. That girl they tossed on gravel ain't. Stannis is questionable.
The fan theory stuff can still come true even if he's not resurrected. The dead are still mentioned.
It was. Body double, with her face done in post.

He played his part...when he argued for Stannis in Braavos.
It wouldn't feel cheap at all to me because so many fucking people have been killed off. Its time for one of the good guys to catch some of that resurrection luck.

The atonement scene is what I was talking about. It's one of the first things they did for the new season and I remember seeing an article about it for Lena walking down the street where they filmed. They pulled it off really well knowing that.
Jon Snow. Dear God. Melisandre save the boy (man). Please Red God.

I could have sworn that Jon and Dany had plot armor at this point. This episode slapped me right back to reality. lol
So, out of all the characters that have appeared in the first episode of the show the ones that are still alive are:
Cercei
Jamie
Tyrion
Bran
Arya
Sansa???
Theon???
Daenerys
Jorah
And dead:
Ned
Catelyn
Robb
Jon???
Robert Baratheon
Joffrey
The Hound
Daenerys brother
Khal Drogo
This fucking show man.

Roose is a great strategist
holy hell spoiler culture is ridiculous
Literally all I said was that people told me Jon was going to die tonight, that's all. He is dead in the books, he is dead in the show. No one knows what happens next.
Nothing got spoiled for you, I don't see your issue here.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Every last Stark got offed this episode. Arya, Sansa, and Jon.
Basically. I think the red lady coming back to Castle Black of all places is a pretty big fucking sign that shes gonna fire lord res him. But still, his death is super robbed of impact because Ollie is a peice of shit, Sam left, the other friends died during the big wall defense a whiles back and his girl was shot by Ollie.
So fuck it. Let the wall burn and let all those fucks die to zombies for all I give a shit. Just get Sansa safe somewhere and let it rot until the Queen of Dragons figures her shit out and comes to reclaim the land.

So... what was the intention with Reek and Sansa? Were they committing suicide? Where was Sansa trying to go anyway?

Well, hey. At least Bronn's still alive, for now. Of course, knowing this show...
In season 1 Drogo died.
In season 4 the Hound and Tywin (he counts) died.
There have been deaths in season finales
Stannis is dead, Jon is dead, Theon is dead, Sansa is dead.
Show is gearing up for Dany and her dragons vs. the white walkers. Maybe at some point Bran will possess Summer and take a jaunt back to Winterfell to rip out Ramsay's neck, that would be a small win.
fuck the night's watch.

It would be really lame if Jon somehow survives that. I seriously thought that surviving some epic fight with the white walkers would bring all the night watch together, I dont get it. How come they dont understand the predicament they are in?

So my theory is that Jon will be resurrected by the lady in red who just returned or by the brotherhood that Arya came across in an earlier season that have their leader rising from the dead. (I think red lady was also with them.)

Blind. Probably temporary, because the only thing permanent on this show is death, and even that sometimes gets fixed.
Theon and Sansa are alive.
They jumped into the moat below.
[edit]
I just re-watched the scene, there's no moat. There was, however, a big pile of snow.

What the heck? Where are you getting that? It was like broad daylight. Would be some impressive cgi if true, although I watched it on the potato called HBO Go.
I'm surprised that there is even speculation about this. No major character in this show has ever been killed off screen (unless Stannis was indeed killed by Brienne this episode).

I don't think the Mountain was ever really dead. He was so big and strong that he was able to survive the poison that would kill a normal man, but it basically put him in a vegetative coma. I think the dude mentioning that he took a "vow of silence" was a cover for the fact that he can't talk because he's still basically cauliflower upstairs.
He only had a couple of the Watch with him, and only he and Edd survived. Most of the fighting was done by wildlings.

Wait...Arya died too? And Sansa? And Theon? And Jon? We never actually saw anyone die, are these just a series of terrible cliffhangers?

I really want to see Ollie die a very painful, disheartening death. Forget burning alive. We need something worse than that for him.

A book reading mate of mine spoiled this a long time ago for me Watching the Season 4 trailer when Jon appeared on screen he goes "Oh he's still alive in this is he?"
He brushed it off as a joke...but it's been in the back of my mind since. Now it has come to fruition
Bastard...

Keep in mind that arya is blind and Jorah is a ticking time bomb. That list is going to grow shorter
Go back and watch it. It's painfully obvious, especially when they switch between close up shots of Lena's face and then full shots.
I'd say all of them aren't major. None of those characters were the POV characters.

If it don't happen onscreen #donotbelieve
I'll keep watching because I'm invested, but this season really killed my hype levels.
Everything feels so disjointed. Like someone wrote book and a chapter was about me in midwest America, the next chapter was about an opium farmer in Afghanistan, and the next chapter was about a 14 year old girl in China. Each of those may be interesting in their own respects (or not), but they don't go together or feel connected. It's like 20 side stories being told all at once with huge setups with characters that are left unresolved. Shock value for the sake of shock value.
They can earn some of that back with me if they do something with Jon or Stannis next season. Two just waste all that time would be crazy. If they don't and they just leave all that stuff hanging...then yes, I admit that I'll be there, but I'm not sure I can get excited about it.
