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.
This is along the lines of what I was thinking might happen. If Jon isn't resurrected by Melisandre then I thought he'd somehow become either an undead guy or be resurrected somehow into the army of the dead but retain some part of himself that means he doesn't become a fighting zombie or something...
I get the frustration that Jon's death seemed kind of futile or pointless, but at the same time I see it as a sort of inevitable consequence of his actions. He was elected by a slim margin, made friends with the wildlings, sacrificed the live of Night's Watchmen who despite coming from some of the slimiest scum in Westeros nevertheless become a pretty tight-knit and loyal group to each other for a band of wildlings, he sent away his closest ally and friend leaving him all alone... When it happened I was a little surprised by his death, but at the same time I thought, "Well, par for the course..."
