Storyline

- TriviaJon's resurrection came after months of misdirection by HBO and the showrunners following the character's death in the fifth season finale Mother's Mercy (2015), claiming the character was indisputably dead. Even Kit Harington himself stated, "I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season". Fans who did not settle for this explanation quickly pointed out that Harington was spotted in Belfast several times while the show was being filmed in Ireland, and that he kept his hair long all the time (he had famously said that he would get a haircut as soon as he was done on the show). Also, a series of action figures was released of characters who had died, and Jon Snow was not included. Harington later explained this away as that he would only appear in the sixth season as Jon's corpse. All of his filming for the sixth season was done in secret, with cast and crew having to sign non-disclosure agreements, the use of the name "Jon Snow" being forbidden, and the character referred to as "LC" (Lord Commander) in all production documents. Jon was only shown in the sixth season trailers as a corpse, though the first promotional image released for the sixth season was of of Jon with blood running from his shadowed eyes. After the airing of this episode, Harington told Entertainment Weekly, "I'd like to say sorry for lying to everyone", as well as expressing his appreciation for the fans' love for his character.
- GoofsJon's body is shown with seven stab wounds, even though he was stabbed six times.

The Dragons and Tyrion
The motto of this show has been the same since the very beginning. When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Sometimes, just when it seems like winning is right around the corner, it turns out to be a nasty case of death instead. Westeros is a land where good, honorable people die terrible deaths, and also a land where despicable people die terrible deaths as well. Generally, everyone dies a terrible death. Valar morghulis. Once upon a time, during the War of Five Kings, Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahyde) was considered an actual king. Sure, he only ruled the Iron Islands, and through them the northern seas, but still, that's a kingdom, albeit a nautically-based one. Now, the three Baratheon combatants are dead, and the King in the North is just a head on a pike somewhere. Balon Greyjoy remains, though his ambitious campaign to take the north was actually horribly unsuccessful. Theon ruined any possible alliances with the Northmen by "killing" Bran and Rickon, Ramsay ruined Theon as a bargaining chip, and the last of the Iron Island strongholds has been retaken by its rightful owners. Unsurprisingly, it's Iwan Rheon's Ramsay holding the knife at the end. That sets up yet another incredibly tense few scenes where the new Lord Bolton summons Walda Frey and the new baby. When Ramsay takes the baby from Walda, there's a palpable tension. We know what Ramsay is capable of, and smashing a baby is nothing compared to patricide. Walda seems to know this too, or she seems to be a little suspicious of the way Ramsay holds the baby, but her husband Roose will protect her... or he would if he wasn't bleeding out in Winterfell's great hall. Ramsay is a monster, and after he takes Walda to the kennels, it's only a matter of time before her fate is sealed, too. Well, it's Ramsay, so the answer is probably yes, but it's not so much about the destination, but about how we get there. Jon Snow's resurrection has been in the works since Melisandre returned to Castle Black from Stannis's camp, but it's still a very effective scene that says a lot about all the characters involved, particularly Melisandre and Davos (talk about an unlikely pair of allies). That we can know what's going to happen, but still enjoy it when it comes about is a good sign; the show is doing the logical thing with characters as we understand them, but still able to make the logical choices entertaining.
