The 'Game of Thrones' season 6 trailer has us convinced Jon Snow will be resurrected

HBO

The first words spoken in the official trailer for season six of "Game of Thrones" are seemingly about Jon Snow.

"He's gone," fans hear Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) say in a voiceover.

But everything that follows in the trailer tells us that Jon Snow is actually going to survive.

When we last saw Davos, he was the right-hand man of the now deceased Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane). Davos was making his way to Castle Black at the Wall, as was the red priestess Melisandre (Carice van Houten).

The stage is primed for the ultimate fan theory that Melisandre will be resurrecting Jon Snow (Kit Harington).

Let's break down the evidence:

The first thing we see is Jon Snow lying abandoned after the brutal stabbing he suffered at the hands of his brothers of the Night's Watch. He's in a pool of his own blood next to a sign that reads "TRAITOR."

In a voice-over, Melisandre tells Davos, "The great victory I saw in the flames, all of it was a lie."

She's talking about her prophecy that Stannis Baratheon was the reborn Azor Ahai, the fabled hero of lore who defeated "the darkness." She also predicted that he would defeat Ramsay Bolton in a great battle.

Many fans believe she confused Stannis with Jon Snow.
