And even if he did, even if it were Daenerys, it doesn't negate what an epic time waste it is that a character has so much screen time to have such an inconsequential death. The only real way his death would make sense if he were brought back later on in some form. At least in my opinion. Otherwise his plot, the entire plot of the night's watch turns into a stub. It's different to when Rob died, or when Ned died, because both of those plots deepened. It was instantly foreseeable how the deaths of each character would lead on to other things. Jon Snow's death just undoes a great deal of story development, completely destroys any purpose or point to his story and frankly, turns out to be a massive waste in time for all involved.
Well, I see your point.
But I also see that other people have been thinking about this for a few years now... the book readers!
Most likely, he gets resurrected by Melisandre.
If he remains dead, the night's watch will now have to deal with all the wildlings Jon put south of the wall and the whitewalkers on the north side. Aliser Thorne takes over.
Or, he becomes an undead... perhaps similar to Coldhands... oh, that's right, show viewers never met Coldhands.
Coldhands was a guy who helped Bran reach his goal. He fought against the zombies... and his hands were cold and dark, Bran never got to see his face because he's covered with the robe of the night's watch.... we are lead to think he may be Benjen (very likely a former brother) turned into a whight, but retaining his nobility and sense of duty... or something.
Could Jon return as such a character?
