Lady Stoneheart isn't in it so far, and Sir Robert Strong was in the last episode.
My money is on Warg into Ghost -> body gets animated by Other shenanigans -> Warg back -> Enjoy new undead body.

Ooh, I like that theory! For the books, I was thinking Melisandre would likely Res him, but she's not at Castle Black anymore in the TV series, so this one seems like a more fitting theory for HBO's spin.

I've read a couple of books, but am caught up on the show. Was there any inclination that Jon had the warg ability? I suppose it was implied in the scene where Ghost helps Sam save Gilly, but did he ever dabble in it in the books?

Very interesting. So in that theory, is he sort of undead when he wargs back in? Does his body still work or is it dead?

We don't know yet. All of the signs seem to point toward a Lord of Light intervention.
Who are you talking about when you say Jon Snow's Mother in Law?
The Mountain, in theory, was ressurected by Qyburn. Although, I'm not sure he was actually completely dead.

Who are you talking about when you say Jon Snow's Mother in Law?
Probably a mistake on the part of the poster, likely meant Step-Mother. That'd be Cathlyn Stark, Ned's wife and mother to Rob, Sansa, and Arya. Since In Context, everyone is still assuming Jon really is Ned's bastard, Cat Stark would still be considered his Step Mother.
There are far more interesting theories about his true origin, which I'm sure a lot of folks here are familiar with.

that one guy said he was run through 4 times, arya witnessed it... he thanked the lord of light... the red woman rides in just before jon snow gets stabbed, i'd say he is definitely going to come back.
i'm still not sure about stannis, the red womans visions were correct, but it was john snow who was the chosen one not stannis, it doesnt show his death and amazon woman needs help saving sanza in winterfell, clearly sanza and reek have further story archs and the thick snow broke their fall. sanza, reek, stanis, breanna will regroup with john snow for epic win.

I've heard the "Jon Becomes a White Walker/Wight" theory before. Honestly, I don't buy it, and I don't believe Jon is actually dead. Critically wounded? Yeah, totally. Dead? That can be a particularly blurry line. We know Melisandre has been showing interest in Lord Snow (more subtle in the books than in the show), and I think she might be beginning to wonder if she backed the wrong horse with Stannis. We know that the priests of the Lord of Light seem to have the ability to raise the dead, or grant some form of immortality. I'd be willing to put money on Jon Snow being saved by Melisandre's magic, allowing further Azhor Azhai shenanigans to ensue.
The problem here is that in the books, when Jon is betrayed, Melisandre is still at Castle Black. In the series, she's with Stannis on the march to Winterfell.

In the season 5 finale, you see Melisandre back in Castle Black talking to Davos.

Oh, good! Then maybe my fan-theory can still hold some water! :D

My Jon Snow theory's eggs are all in one basket and that's Azor Ahai. I think it seems a little easier to pick up on when watching the show. Kit Harrington just picked up a new contract in which he receives a big raise for season 7. So when he says "Jon Snow is dead", I believe that. Jon needed to die for Azor Ahai to be reborn. All the pieces, especially Melisandre's timing, fit together for it to be Jon (that is if you're like me and think that Eddard is not Jon's father, but rather Jon is the bastard son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen). Kit Harrington will return in season 6 and 7 but not as Jon Snow.
EDIT: The more I delve into this theory the more I think Jon Snow and Aegon Targaryen may actually be the same person and Ned has kept him in hiding all these years as his bastard son. That would mean that if Rhaegar and Lyanna were secretly wed to keep the Targaryen bloodline alive then Jon would be the rightful heir to the throne.
I think you're right that john snow is the offspring of lyanna and rhaegar. In the book it says that when Ned and his companions confront the remainder of the Kings guard during the fight they hear lyanna screaming (which could have been from child birth) and the promise she could have made Ned swear would be to hide john from Robert whom she feared would try to kill all targarean remnants? He would have returned john to winterfell hiding John as his bastard. This would also explain why Ned never told catelyn about johns mother.

I think we should call this the "Jump the shark" theory.
[–] chordmaster88 [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Yes, that seems absolutely fitting. It might even need some time traveling elements to boot. Maybe White Walker Jon Snow travels back in time to stop the murder of Jon Arryn, and the whole show ends before season 1 even starts.
[–] Usernamerequired 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Or Jon realizes that Arryn needs to die and is caught in a moral quandry. At the end of the final episode of the final season he is holding a bottle of poison above arryn's drink, then cut to black, role credits. Then ten months later, they announce that there will be a new season, but they just play the first season over again.
