BalerionTheCat Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't make a moral judgment on the fact that HBO or Kit Harington lied. They killed no one (in real life). I don't remember any law against an actor or producer lying about the content of his work. It is just that by telling lies that anyone can (I mean will) see, they lose any credibility for what they will say later. More sorry than angry. But no one has to believe what they say. Maisie Williams is different. She is not HBO PR, she is not directly involved in Jon's story. Really, she should have shut up. In addition, what she said was rather disrespectful.

Darryk Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 He ceased to be Jon Snow and became Azor Azai. When that happened, the good man who was Lord Commander was destroyed. So what HBO told you was true, from a certain point of view.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they cast another actor to play Jon Snow, they (Kit) lied about him not in the show anymore. The new character could or should be different, harder. But still be the shield that guard the realms of men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Rose Crown Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 My theory is that there are 2 versions of the script. The scenes with Jon in it were only given to people who actually filmed with him. So maise/emilia/Sophie arent actually lying when they say he's dead and not coming back. The other actors don't even know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really am tired of this topic -- not sure why I cannot control myself and just stop responding to this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Three Whores Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 If you believe the guy that got to see the premier and then immediately went online to answer people's questions, then here is the answer to this topic if it hasn't already been mentioned. Big Big Spoiler by the way for the first episode of season 6. Look at your own peril. Spoiler The episode ends with Bran and the three eyed raven speaking about Jon and how he is needed, then they touch a root of the weirwood and Jon (surprise surprise) comes back to life.

I would love to see that quote -- do you have a link? ETA: I have now seen the clip of Kit saying "sorry." He seems a bit sheepish -- but still lame that he felt he needed to lie. But as I have said -- not that big a deal -- I will try to let it drop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is asinine, but it would be interesting for someone to do a poll of normal GOT viewers who don't frequent web sites and fan forums to see what these casual fans think and if they even pay attention to the media stuff between seasons. Most of my friends seemed to think he was dead for real, and weren't quite convinced when I told them that he'll be resurrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's not lying if you just avoid the truth. Although I guess Kit Harrington did specifically say "I'm not coming back next season", so yeah, he flat out lied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florina Laufeyson Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I wonder if Harington was given an NDA (Non-Disclosure Act) and his way of getting around press was lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwight Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This is why they should have never used his death as a cliffhanger. There were many ways to avoid that (regardless of method of resurrection), and it strikes me as a cheap publicity stunt to go for a cliffhanger which requires everyone involved to lie for a year while pretty much everyone (aside from casual watchers, perhaps) kind of knows they're lying. Aside from keeping the hype up between seasons, I can't really see reasons for putting themselves in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
