Game of Thrones is understandably interested in throwing fans off the scent of its bigger twists, and star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has practically served as emissary in that respect.
Jon Stark-Targaryen has risen from the dead. Granted – he still doesn’t specify which Targaryen – but it’s hardly a swerve Game of Thrones appears to be setting up.
The real mystery lies in how and when Jon himself will learn this information, and what anyone will do with it.
Still, the once-and-future Jaime Lannister may have cleared up any lingering doubt over Jon Snow’s true origins.
