[@halbarad7932]

@@alexcoffey8804 This sounds very cool, but unlikely given where Lady Stoneheart is at this point in the story, which is the Riverlands. George R. R. Martin also doesn't seem to use the teleportation tactic (unlike D&D), since going from the Riverlands to the Wall would take a lot of time (it's across half of the continent, exluding beyond the Wall). I believe it is said in the show that it took a month to get from King's Landing to Winterfell. The Wall is even further than that, factoring in the fact that her journey would not be smooth as for the characters in the first season, when there was essentially peace everywhere, I guess that it would take her 2 months to get there. Also that's considering she leaves the Riverlands at once, which I also doubt, since she has some unfinished business in the Riverlands. You might argue that she doesn't need to travel to the Wall for this to work, but I do think that a moment loses a lot of it's impact when it happens so indirectly ig. It would feel cheap, because Lady Catelyn would not even know who is she giving the life to. Also, as much as it is set up that Catelyn hates Jon Snow for who he is, it doesn't really make sense for her to meddle in Jon's storyline, because she has no connection to the Long Night, white walkers and the prophecies regarding this plotline. I'm not even sure if Lady Stoneheart will ever meet Jon again. In the show, the Brotherhood does travel to the Wall, but I'm still sceptical about Stoneheart going there. Characters like Thoros of Myr have some ties to the white walker plotline via the Lord of Light, but Stoneheart's only interaction with the Lord of Light is via her resurrection, and prove me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember her talking about the Lord of Light, white walkers etc. ever in the books. So in summary, a great idea but unlikely given the circumstances of the books.

The show really did a bad job setting up For the Watch, no pink letter, no real motivation, Thorne should of just kept the gate shut if he planned on killing him, that way the wildlings stay north of the wall.

[@JamesBuschell]

Slail they really should of just out that crapfest that they failed to adapt in Dorne and devoted much more time to the north in general

[@fauxcault]

I've never understood this kind of criticism. D&D have to winnow down hundreds and hundreds of pages to adapt the books for just ten hours of airtime each season. Given that's the case, subplots and minor characters are going to have to be simplified and/or completely expunged. For example, if what's laid out in the video proves to be true, it'll be a great way to connect several disparate elements *in the books*, but in the show it's all just too circuitous. People are already complaining that D&D do not spend enough time on the plot points they *can* include. Simplifying everything like they have (again, if what the video suggests is indeed what unfolds) will boil it all down to its basic elements and will end up in the same place (and I subscribe to the theory that when GRRM outlined for D&D where the books will ultimately go, he indeed gave them all of the remaining major plot points and they know what they're doing).

[@JamesBuschell]

Court Montgomery so you seriously believe that For the Watch was logical on the show? All they had to do was have a version of the pink letter to provoke Jon to march south, by doing that his vows are broken and then the NW has the motivation to do it. If their only motivation was the wildlings, why didn't Thorne open the gate if the intention was to kill him? If that was the case does it not make more logical sense for Thorne just to keep the gate shut AND keep the wildlings north of the wall? I mean I'm not going to argue with you if you think it was good, to each is own i suppose.

[@TF2legend]

Awesome breakdown of the theory! I'd like to add that....

How has nobody pointed out that Melisandre burns Shireen "to clear the snow" - clear the Snow perhaps? I say R'hllor intended for her to burn Shireen in order for the fire to melt the Snow. leaving Jon Targaryen. I say she doesn't actively resurrect Jon, as we have no indication that Melisandre is aware of the ability to resurrect people. Instead I think they will burn Jon on a funeral pyre, and he will then rise from the flames (akin to Daenerys in S01E10), even to Melisandre surprise. I both hope and predict this.

Could you make a video and explore the possibility of an Ice Dragon beyond the wall. As you said Mellisandra said that her magic was stronger at the wall and it is known that dragons amplify magical powers so could an ice dragon be beyond the wall? Possibly with the white walkers.

[@tabarakiqbal4756]

suemeejim715 The wall is next to the shivering sea, this is where In the latest book of A world of song of ice the ice dragons are stated to have lived around. good point though.

[@Radiotomb]

In "The Ice Dragon", GRRM states that ice dragons are larger and more powerful than fire breathing dragons. Whatever they touch instantly freezes and never thaws. I like the idea of ice dragons lining up, and the air freezes around them, forming into a 700 ft tall Wall of ice. GRRM already said that there is magic keeping the wall standing. Either way, it's going to come down in book 6. What better way to bring it down then by watching ice dragons burst out from inside.

[@suemeejim715]

Radiotomb True, but I thought that books setting was different not in the ASOIAF world.

OMG what if... The wall was this huge back and torsal of a huge ice dragon ;o And suddenly it awakens and he stands up from his sleep, destroying the wall (because he's the wall) and *crazy thoughts*

[@erikm6689]

suemeejim715 A theory I like suggests there's an Ice dragon trapped in the wall. It IS the magic keeping it standing and it is the reason it seems as though it breathes and lives (the wall). As stated by Jon or Sam can't remember who. It would explain a lot. And seeing as these magical horns control dragons and the Horn of Johramun (however it's spelled) is said to bring down the wall. May be what wakes the dragon from its slumber and brings the wall down. Also the fact that Melissanda's magic is stranger at the wall may hint that there is a dragon in the wall, as dragons amplify magic exponentially. :) but It's only a theory.

[@Christopherjazzcat]

You were on the money with this one dude

[@tryptamind6839]

Not only was he right about the stuff that has already happened, but I also think he is right about other parts of the video that haven't even happened yet on the show. For example, just like he said in this video, I have always been convinced that at the end, Jon is going to plunge his sword into Melisandre and it will create Lightbringer. After all, she already confirmed in her last scene that she "has to die in this strange place" or something like that when she spoke with Varys. My guess is she knows that she must sacrifice herself to him. Not to mention, when Jon found out about Shireen's death, he told Mel to leave and if he sees her again then he will kill her. That seems to be foreshadowing...

Actually, in both books and show there is another potential alternative to the use of king's blood to resurrect Jon: Melisandre herself. If you believe the theory that Bloodraven + Shiera Seastar = Melony/Melisandre, then Mel DEFINITELY has kingsblood. Moreover, that would also tie into the "bleeding star" portion of the Azor Ahai prophecy, especially if her surname is Seastar like her mother. Melisandre is the Red Star. Also, do you think "Jon" is even his real birth name? GRRM has said that "Jon" is the name Ned gave him. I heard a cool theory on Radio Westeros that his real name is Aemon Targaryen.

Sofia Alarcon Wow, that's actually interesting. Who could tell Jon his real name though? And is Jon like an acronym for his real name? So much cliffhangers, a man needs S06 and/or The Winds of Winter!

[@sofiaa1616]

***** There's no direct evidence for what Jon's real name is, but we can speculate on it based on what could possibly be literary references and symbolism here and there. I would go into it here, but I don't think I could explain it half as well as Radio Westeros did. So I recommend you go to their site and check out their episode on Jon Snow, as well as their other episodes, because they are awesome. As for why Ned chose the name "Jon", it's likely that he named him after Jon Arryn. It could have symbolic meaning to him. This is from Reddit: "Ned's relationship to Arryn parallels the relationship he feels with Snow. Jon Arryn raised Ned like a son even though he was not. Furthermore, when the king (Aerys) called for Ned's head, Lord Arryn raised his banners in rebellion and defied the king to save him. No doubt Ned is defying Robert by hiding the Targaryen's claim to the throne."

Rift31 yeah he's going up north now, it doesn't make any sense considering the hound barley changed at all, so fighting for the faith would be pointless.

[@PhantomZephyrV]

Imagine Jon resurrected with silver Targaryen hair. That would be awesome.

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

And gaining a pair of red eyes, making him a spit image of BloodRaven!

[@Naralissa1009]

I really want Jon will be the Azor Ahai of GOT , but damn .. i have see so much theory about that , if is not true i well be very sad :(. GIVE ME BACK JON FKING SNOW PLS RR .

[@007NowOnline]

As De Pique Indeed. This video and other people connecting the dots have filled me with hope of seeing Jon Snow return.... if he doesn't it'll be a huge let down, and confuse me because the dots have already been connected in a logical way.

[@lisamarieschnee]

As De Pique I will be very happy if all those theories are not true because then i won't know what is coming for me and its even more entertaining.

[@007NowOnline]

Krydda If you didn't watch this video you wouldn't have known about the theory and would've been surprised if it turns out to be the case. LOL. :P

[@lisamarieschnee]

Teal'c Nah, i've read from this theory on reddit after the last book was released 2012. its just annoying that the mainstream now floods the internet with tinfoil theories with no backup and think that GRRM books are so predictable.

[@007NowOnline]

Krydda Uhh,.."with no back up".... LOL, whats your definition of back up?. .....I'd say the "back up" this youtube vid has is quotes from the books and show which points the story in this direction. And no, I've never gotten the impression from anyone that thinks GRRM's stories are predictable. No one is simply saying he will rise from the dead... they are pointing out context clues to show you one possible direction this story might be heading towards. They asked a question, did background research and constructed a hypothesis from the information gathered. ..... All they're saying is he still is a candidate for Azor ahai based on current information.

[@0ctalpus]

You were right, the whole time! - Jon Snow

[@kins1894]

This was my first ever Alt shift X video. I was just a casual tv viewer of the show. After Jons death in S05 I delved in everthing GoT related, and even though I did not read the book, I became an ubber fan of ghe show. And stumbled on this gem. And since then watched every vid.

[@Mf7d89]

Man I admire how much effort you put into editing your videos, it must be a pain! bravo its appreciated

[@davzskill]

I may be completely wrong but in the first season when Bran is in a coma, Isn't he brought back when Ned kills Sansa's Dire wolf? Again I haven't watched the season for a while but i'm sure i remember that happening...

[@TheJammieDavz]

JammieDavz I think I remember something like that happening. When Ned kills sansas direwolf it immediately cuts to Bran waking up.

[@davzskill]

I Uptown Funked You Up I thought that happened. Could just be pure coincidence that it cuts to him waking up...

[@Enigma_V]

asoiaf theorists do not believe in coincidences.

[@Iffmeister]

+Virtual|Reality exactly

[@dansmart3182]

+JammieDavz | Fifa Skiller It seems simpler to suggest that Bran was just awoken when it died since Bran has a deeper connection to the wolves because of his warging.

[@Chaos8282]

This video ties it all together perfectly man. You one of the writers leaking spoilers under an assumed name? XD Either way you have a new sub.

[@AltShiftX]

+Chaos8282 Cheers mate!

[@rowknan9848]

+Alt Shift X I didn't hear a denial... Plus for the third part of your theory could it be possible that due to the extreme power of John's transference to Ghost that he is able to directly interact with Bran to the point of having a verbal conversation?

[@AcidTripOk]

D & D: We kinda forgot we had an awesome standoff like this so we used Arya insted.

[@Simfyre]

I like somewhat not knowing what will happen until it happens, but theorizing is so much fun. This is the most intelligent interpretation and educated guess about what will happen that I have listened to so far. Will be interesting to see how it plays out compared to these ideas.

[@PKPK-rr3rs]

I think you just gave George RR Martin some inspiration

[@filipferencak2717]

Alt Shift X (2:43): "Surely you don't have an awesome stand off like this only to not have a payoff later on." D&D: "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

[@riparianlife97701]

I'll say it again, and I'll get mocked for saying it again, you're an amazing video editor. What software do you use?

[@riparianlife97701]

YMBatal OH NO WAY! KZbin video editor? I bought Corel for no reason.

[@FireDevil506]

Docktor Jim No it says Toon Boom Studio 8.1 The "Created using" isn't actually what he uses to edit. He says in the description he uses Toon Boom Studio 8.1

[@riparianlife97701]

Guru Zaheer Thanks!

[@tylermccail157]

Great video. I just paused it at 10:13 to say that I've been watching every, "Jon Snow will return," video I can find, and this one is already the best. I have been thinking that Jon must learn of his parentage before or at the very moment of his resurrection, because having him come back to life as plain old Jon Snow, and allowing *any* time to go by before revealing his parentage, would be devastatingly anticlimactic. He must be Jon Targaryen, at the moment he opens his eyes. Even having him learn who his parents are, later in the same episode in which he's brought back, would be clunky, unbelievable and just kind of stupid lol.

[@KingOfMadCows]

Wait, has Thoros ever had to "pay" for resurrecting Beric Dondarrion? If I remember correctly, all he's ever done was use the prayer and he's been able to resurrect Dondarrion a bunch of times.

[@TheBandy98]

Beric was resurrected immediately after he died though.

[@2000multipablo]

***** Maybe Theon should get an appointment with one of these red priests...

[@akrybion]

paul bulimar Only death can pay for sex?

[@2000multipablo]

akrybion Haha. Worth it.

[@OlDurtyGurty]

***** I think it did take a lot out of Thoros to do that. In Mel's chapter we see how much of a toll her magic is taking on her but she does her best to hide it.

[@yaboybigbungus]

Actually Ser Pounce is Azor Ahai, but nice try m8

[@tonytorres2620]

You are not as peppy as the other youtube reviewers, or as "exciting", but you are MASTERFUL. Your insights are almost scientific due to the way you present evidence and several levesl above the competition. Wish I had found you a LOT earlier. Thank you for your work.

[@akh_98]

12:46 "And that the next book is going to be a hell of a read." Yeah, sure.

[@playermartin286]

Even thinking about going out and buying WINDS i get a warm feeling in my belly

[@love_otter]

Just a heads up, the description displays in the subscription field, so that's a pretty hardcore spoiler visible without even clicking the video.

[@AlexD19931]

love_otter Those aren't requirements, those were just things the original Azor Ahai did to bring about Lightbringer that didn't work. I don't think they're necessities to the prophecy.

[@love_otter]

I think you're responding to the wrong comment, bro.

[@AlexD19931]

When I posted it, I had linked to the right one, then I saw this and my shame came into being.

[@love_otter]

Shame. *dingding*

[@Mystery7932]

Why would you sub and not expect spoilers?

[@BiteThis]

My Theory for the books, (since show fucked this up.) Stannis defeats the Boltons and claims Winterfell. After he hears of Jon's death he declares him a true Stark (like he had offered Jon before) and has his body brought to Winterfell to lay in the Crypts with the other Starks. Meanwhile he has Theon captured at Winterfell, somehow Lady Stoneheart hears of this and heads to Winterfell to kill him ( she thinks he killed Bran and Rickon) She will be well accepted there due to melisandre, since she rides with the red priest. There Stannis will let her execute Theon since he planned on doing it anyway (Whether she kills Theon or doesn't effect the main theory), and she will discover Jon is dead. In an ironic twist she will give Jon the kiss of life, trading her life for the boy she despised and hated.

[@TruePower44]

hope youre right, jon is my favourite character

[@Giglioti]

In the show, could it be that the burning of Shireen was actually to clear the way back to Castle Black for Melisandre ? Also, I think Theon will be the sacrifice to bring Jon back, he has king's blood since Balon is king of the Iron Islands and it could serve as atonement for his betrayal of the Starks.

[@mshamamci]

Giglioti Good point I like it

[@cplogesh]

Giglioti nope theon has bigger fish to fry in iron islands...

[@Giglioti]

logesh palani In the books, I agree but in the show seems unlikely

[@GeekFurious]

Giglioti I'm all for the Theon theory. There is no way Shireen is the sacrifice that brings Jon back. I don't see the Lord of Light accepting the blood of an innocent unless they volunteer themselves for that sacrifice. The point is made when Stannis loses everything for doing it.

[@ColinsBaldGrandma]

Giglioti but they are adding the greyjoy uncles next season...

[@natalieruegger2609]

snowflake jesus or bust! the evidence you cite to support your theories peppered with the right amount of humor over your cinnamon-frappe smooth voice.. nothin but love alt shift x!! your videos are truly unrivaled. keep holdin it down and keepin the hope alive for us :)

[@AltShiftX]

+natalie ruegger Cheers! Will do.

[@philingrouille7198]

[@nikunjmajithia1113]

Nikunj Majithia if you follow jesus you'd know he asks you to be Christ-like in your own actions and i don't think that involves calling me a sicko or putting others down in general, maybe YOU should learn your stuff bud. i've got a great relationship with God & i don't think i could get along with anyone who didn't have a badass sense of humor.

[@nikunjmajithia1113]

natalie ruegger u mock by saying words like this learn your stuff

[@cruddddddddddddddd]

My only problem with Shireen getting burned for Jon's resurrection (and I'm speaking of the books, here, since we've passed this in the show) is that Thoros is able to bring Beric back time and again without a sacrifice.

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

The last kiss doesn't necessarily work because it brings back only a part of your soul back, we know that being a wight is not the best second life you can have (the Army of The Dead, Beric and Lady Stoneheart are there to proof) so Mel might use something more potent to fully ressurect Jon's body A.K.A King's Blood via Shireen and possibly Theon if Stannis execute him!

[@cruddddddddddddddd]

@@PedroLucas-mg5je Maybe so, but I've wondered if something might be different with Jon's resurrection since he can warg - if his essence goes into his wolf, and she brings his body back, would his full essence just return?

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

@@cruddddddddddddddd Maybe his essence would be more wolfish and can have some sort of the sixth sense that the direwolves had, like sensing if a person is trustworthy or not (like how Grey Wind and Lady Felt that the Freys and Joffrey weren't trustworthy) and his post-resurrection appearance could be similar to Ghost, white hair and red eyes!

[@AmethystEyes]

And technically if R+L=J is true, he would have a stronger claim than Dany. As him being born of the first son of a Targaryen ruler his living lineage would have claim before Dany.

[@loljoli235]

[@m33tballa]

After rewatching this video it made me realize that its strange that mel was able to resurrect john in the snow no problem. In every other example in the show and book obvi theres always a price to magic, its blood magic. I think in the book its going to be much more sacrificial and bittersweet when jon comes back

[@lukemorgan3001]

THANK YOU Alt Shift X!!!! I just watched s5 ep10 and after much disbelief and a few tears you just gave me hope that GoT's best character isn't dead.

[@gabriellaureano2570]

That wasn't a cross in the show it was Benjen he can shapeshift

[@kefkapalazzo1]

Melisandre is such an interesting character

[@courtesyof24]

I love these. They make so much sense

[@zablujnc]

Jon having the fleshback of his parentage would give a reason for the Tower of Joy scene.

[@ChillinCT]

If George R.R. Martin doesn't resurrect Jon Snow in the upcoming books and in turn the show, then he's a complete fool. In my opinion Jon Snow has more of the end game story on his shoulders than anyone else at this point. Everyone including Daenerys, seem to be more worried about ruling the world,birthrights and lust for power while Jon Snow is on the front lines of the War for the Dawn which is the true threat. He's just too important a character to kill off at this point. If George kills off Jon Snow who seems to be the only symbol of selflessness, honor and justice left then whats the point of reading the rest of the story? Imho, Daenerys and Jon Snow are the two pillars holding the story up and if one falls the whole thing crumbles. Show me one character who can replace Jon Snow that anyone would be happy with, I don't think there will be many recommendations if any. The R+L=J theory has to come into play. I think if he learns hes a Targaryen, a legit Targaryen and not a River then he will seek out Daenerys not only because shes his sister but also because hes going to want to get as many people possible ready for the White Walker invasion and he would be in a perfect position to bring the Wildlings to her side. That's a good chunk of people to get the ball rolling towards end game. If Jon Snow is resurrected I hope its done by Thoros of Myr and not Melisandre because she sucks and Thoros seemed like a much cooler character. Maybe Lady Stoneheart sends Thoros after hearing of Jon's death or maybe Melisandre sends for Thoros personally considering he brought Beric back to life 6 times. There's so many possible resurrection scenarios for Snow, but more than likely it will involve a red priest or priestess. Whatever happens Jon Snow has to comeback otherwise the story wont be the same and not in a good way. Sorry for the rant.

[@sofiaa1616]

ChillinCT Don't worry, he's hinted in interviews that Jon will return.

[@TorosJake16]

Jon is danaerys' nephew. rhaegar is her brother and jons dad.

[@Ren99510]

+ChillinCT Don't be disappointed if he doesn't come back in Season 6 though. I'd prefer they bring him back then but he's not been casted. Of course they could be lying. Either way we'll definitely have our lovely Jon back by season 7.

[@rickyred001]

Another superb video from altshiftx :)

[@Hasdfgh12321]

in an interview George said : "there people have already guessed the secret that i'm gonna reveal in books 6 and book 2 is just out" Now tell me he's not talking about R+L=J

[@007NowOnline]

Saudi gucci what does he mean by "book 2 is just out"? Book 2 has been out for many years.

[@TheThoerlChannel]

Teal'c He never said when this interview was conducted ;-)

[@ZadeHub]

Teal'c The interview was likely just after Book 2 was released.

[@007NowOnline]

lukazade101 Say Whaa!!..., They must be psychic to be able to predict whats in book 6 with only book 2 being out at the time.

[@TheThoerlChannel]

Teal'c R+L=J is in its basis pretty much completely based on hints from the first book.

[@TheTinyTimmyTimTim]

Also, Jon’s wound was smoking when he was stabbed, and Marsh was crying. If Jon is Rheagers son, then it fits. Marsh tears=Salt. Smoke=smoking wound. Kings blood=Jon’s wound.

[@hoked2194]

It was steaming because his blood is hot and the wall is really cold.

[@TheTinyTimmyTimTim]

@@hoked2194 true, good point, but the overall theme and symbolism still works imo.

[@nadak7826]

Well Ned Stark kinda promised Jon when they meet again he will reveal who is Jon’s mother. So maybe Bran will send him a vision of “promise me Ned” and Ned will finally be able to tell him.

[@BreakingBad13]

Watching this now, this video was golden but almost no one could know ! Very good job :)

[@xfallenangelax]

I think R+L=J is a correct theory. It makes so much sense in regards to some of the plot holes that have bothered me. It seems to me that Jon's story is far from over even if he did die in ADWD... we will hear more about him thats for sure

[@OnePieceTheorist]

Sam - "He always returns"..also we still have to see Jon's and Ned's talk about Jon's mother..maybe Jon will warg(dream) something about Ned,but it will be reality..also it's said that Robb become direwolf in the night..well it's not Robb,it's Jon who will become direwolf in the Night..
