Game of Thrones..lets cut the anticipation..

The biggest question on Game of Thrones fans minds at the moment. IS JON SNOW DEAD? Well, a clue may have been given as a poster for the upcoming series next year has been released today, starring none other than Mr Kit Harington's character Jon Snow. It doesn't give away much but it's something, a sign his character could be returning to the next series, which is all any GOT fan is hoping. He doesn't look too good in the poster with all the blood, so his possible storyline for when he returns still remains a mystery, as we are all still unsure whether he is alive or dead. Kit insisted that he was finished with the show and his character, but the fate of his character has been kept a mystery. However, Kit was spotted in Belfast where and when they had been filming the new series, so speculation around Jon Snow's fate rose immidiately.
I was personally devestated when Jon Snow was stabbed and "killed", however I feel that this is exactly what HBO want, the hype and anticipation around Jon Snow's fate. It has circled the internet, taken over social media from the creation of memes to public discussions between fans about it. And this spreads word to more audiences about the show and creates something for new fans to be interested in, whilst keeping original fans on the edge of their seat. It's like a free yet efficient form of advertisment and this is becoming a regular thing. But it's not just GOT that has done it, take The Walking Dead, the whole "is Glenn dead" question flooded the internet and social media after the recent episode, which has shown the character Glenn being "killed". It's a very clever publicity stunt, it brings fans together whilst bringing new fans in. What do you think?
But back to Jon Snow. Do I think he's dead? Of course not, they'd have to try a lot better than that to get rid of him. But hey what do you think about it? Let me know!
They say that the series will start in April next year, but a specific date is yet to be set. Oh they don't half know how to keep us on the edge of our seats.

Thankyou for reading this quick, little post and I hope you enjoyed it!
Speak soon.
