Alright, I had to go back and read part of book 5 last night.  I thought Jon Snow died after rallying the troops to go to Hardhorne with (forgot his name) so he could go back to Winterfell.  He suffered at least three wounds.  I think the first was a slash to the neck, then a dagger in the gut, and then a stab in the back.  Then he blacked out and the chapter ended.  

While Jon is/was my favorite character, I'd love to see him live through it, but I can't see him living without supernatural "support".  Just now, I remembered that Lady Melissandre may be able to breath life back into him.  This completely changed my perspective on the issue.  Could Jon and Mellissandre go to Winterfell together?  Oh man, now I really can't wait to get book 6 .....

Ohhhhh!

I just read the part where Ghost walks right up to Melissandre and licks her. Jon is shocked. She's trying to coax him to accept her help to save Arya (who isn't really Arya) from her marriage. But he doesn't want to be "indebted" to her. The last words in the chapter, "And come that day, take my hand. Take my hand, and let me save your sister." Then left hanging.

 I don't think he will ask it for himself if he won't accept her help for someone else. But...would she do it without his consent?

I've got some reading to do today!

My wife refuses to believe Jon is dead.  I thought it was pretty clear.

The fact that you guys like him and think he's not dead is exactly why I think GRRM would kill him off.  He loves doing that.

Has GRRM ever killed off a POV character?  Did we ever get a POV from Caetlyn?

wargs into Ghost's body

 

I didn't think about that either ... then he can hang our with Nymeria.  She has a posse'.

 

I vaguely remembering someone talking about the human warg's body dying.  If they are warged into an animal at the time, do they stay there, or do they die?

See, she talks about how she kept used powders (?) etc. to create spectacle to make people believe she is powerful. Now, she did stated that since going to The Wall her powers were getting stronger, so maybe she can bring someone back from the dead. And she does make Mance Ryder (? spelling) look like the "bones" guy (can't remember his name) to fool everyone.

I can see him going into Ghost's body.

OH! Do the rest of you think that they are all warg's... the ones with the direwolves? I think they are, but not all of them have tapped into being a warg.

I didn't hear about Rob or Sansa talk about any dreams and thats how they say it starts but I got the idea they all have the chance to be one.

I'm not sure about all of the children being Wargs, but it does make me think that Jon and Arya are truly blood related.  

There are some rumors going around that Jon is actually Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's son.  Arya and Jon are supposedly the only one's with Stark-like features.  Jon could have gotten them from Lyanna or Ned. 

http://awoiaf.westeros.org/  Careful, you could lose a day or two chasing down theories here.... its been incredibly helpful picking up all kinds of lost details that I lost when reading the books.  (usually with a strong ale in my glass)

Robb was close with Greywind, but Sansa lost Lady fairly early in the series.  I would have thought that Robb would have made a bond.  Not so much with Sansa.

He might have, but he wasn't a POV character, so we wouldn't know.

I don't remember if Sansa had Lady for even a week.

Sansa had Lady for a while in the book, but it was portrayed as a short time in the series.  However, in that short time, she went from a pup to at least a 90 pound animal in that time....

We might've known.  Orell was a warg and not a POV character.  I don't think Rob or Sansa were wargs because John didn't start having dreams of ghost until after ghost wandered-off and he didn't even know what a warg does.  Brand had dreams of being Summer when he was in a coma.

Of course they are blood related. They have the same father. If the story has told us the truth.

I could see it coming out though that Jon is the son of someone else.

I think he really is the son of Ned. The Starks have been in the north since the beginning and so far it seems only people from the north have the connections to the ways of the sight and wargs.

I agree that the bloodlines of the First Men seem to have the abilities, but he could have gotten it from Ned's sister Lyanna Stark.  That was my point.
