HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[Xant]

The way I interpreted it, not sure if it makes it any better, is that while she said the correct words (in a different language from Thoros ofc), she didn't have the intent of heart to bring John back- it was Ghost's intent merged with her words that did so.

Where did you get that Ghost thing...? As far as I remember, there was nothing indicating Ghost had anything to do with it.

So you guys are still watching this.. this thing?

Let me guess what happened since second season - a bunch of people died, still no plot, story is going nowhere. No dragon action, but they still make it look like dragons will come.

Really?.. There were a couple of eggs in the first and they were cat sized in a single 10 second long scene in the second.

Edit:

Anyways, if there is finally some dragon carnage in the new season, I will have a look

yeah when they got big drogon took off  and the other 2 were locked in a basement. Then last season Drogon came and rescued danearis in the fighting pit.

He was laying next to Jon, eyes closed, weirdly calm, slowly breathing and he got focused by the camera for some odd seconds...
...just going by the cinematography, I can understand where the idea is coming from.
And since it's no ordinary wolf...

it was focusing on the dog so they could show the dog reacting to him waking up fam

[Molly]

I am not arguing pro or con the idea here. Merely giving Xant a hint where the idea might be coming from.

[Xant]

But that was because of what Tristan says, to give the viewers a two-second "oh my god could it be" reaction before Jon gasps. The cinematography does not support the theory at all. Ghost was sleeping, not staring intently at Jon's corpse, willing it to rise from the dead, etc.

That was purely for the moment when Ghost senses Jon coming back to life I think. Nothing to do with Ghost being involved with the resurrection.

Edit: Or what Xant and Tristan just said.

Should probably read later posts first!

[Jona]

My take on it was that she was saying the prayer in whatever language over and over to no avail because she was doing it without emotion or believing or w.e. Then she simply says "please" and the great and mighty lord of light is all like "Well, since you said the magic word, sure!" and that was that. No dogs involved.

[Xant]

Pretty sure Jon Snow was never dead, he was just resting.

[Oberyn]

He seemed to still have his wounds. Probably undead rather than back to life, more like Coldhands than Dondarion. Maybe it has something to do with the Wall itself?

[Asheram]

So Jon isn't connected to ghost like Bran was to his wolf?

[Oberyn]

It's kind of hard to direct animals. I don't expect showrunners to really try and portray the connection shown in the books, unless they use CGI extensively. Slightly startling a sleeping dog and filming the reaction is the best we can hope for.
