If you are suffering from Game of Thrones withdrawal symptoms this week, fear not, as the talented folk of the interweb have been busy putting together some frankly, epic, montages of the series, particularly about Jon Snow, following that massive revelation in the season six finale.
Leave now if you're not all caught up!
The final episode of the series (read our finale review) saw a long believed fan theory proven as at last it was clear that R+L=J, or in other words Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark are Jon Snow's real parents. In fact, Jon isn't even his real name, although as much as we tried to lip read Lyanna Stark, we still don't know what that is.
The significance of Jon Snow's parentage is no minor detail. It means he has Targaryen blood, and would in fact be more in line for the Iron Throne than his aunty (yes aunty) Daenerys. Not only that, but the combination of Stark and Targaryean blood, means that Jon Snow is literally the Song of Ice and Fire.... in fact, if you just drop the 'G'...
Yep, we're pretty certain he's key to pretty much everything.
If this information makes you want to run back and watch the whole series from start to finish again, no need, the video below is a compilation of some of Jon Snow's most significant moments on the show, with an insane amount of foreshadowing that you'll be kicking yourself for not noticing.
