We’re certain that we know something.
Liam Cunningham was on Conan last night and the Irish actor didn’t disappoint because he was his usual super-cool self while promoting the upcoming season of Game of Thrones. As is the norm with most press junkets, Cunningham was allowed to play a brief clip of what’s in store and it was pretty interesting.
The whole interview with the Irish actor is great but there’s one very interesting clip. Skip forward to the 1:50 mark as we’re treated to an extended glimpse of a scene that’s teased in the trailer for Season 6 – Ser Davos standing over the dead body of Jon Snow as he draws his sword.
Ok, indulge us for one moment. We already know that the first episode of Season 6 is titled ‘The Red Woman’ (implying that Melisandre is prominent) but we’re left wondering why Ser Davos – a very reasonable, honourable and noble knight – would be prepared to draw his sword, fight and potentially die to protect the deceased corpse of Jon Snow?
Game of Thrones fans will know that all dead members of the Night’s Watch are usually burned on a pyre, blame those pesky White Walkers and their ability to resurrect the dead on that one, so why would Ser Davos and his allies be willing to shed blood while guarding Jon Snow’s corpse from the mutinous members of the Night’s Watch and their leader Ser Alliser Thorne.
Mmm, why indeed? Perhaps Melisandre needs Jon Snow’s body for something that has been widely suggested already. We already gave our theory and The Stone Roses support us.
To quote a line from the show, “What is Dead May Never Die”.
