Game Of Thrones season 6 finally has a loose release date (April 2016), and the poster for the season that everyone’s favorite Jon Snow is going to be back for more Jon Snow–related activities, such as being dead or possibly not being dead. Yawn. Color me uninterested. There’s so much better stuff going on in Game of Thrones season 6—Jon Snow’s storyline may have ended the most dramatically in season 5, but it’s hardly the most interesting or suspenseful story arc in the season.

Game Of Thrones Season 6 Plot: Everything Besides Jon Snow

Seriously, Jon Snow is the least exciting thing about the Game of Thrones season 6 plot. He ain’t dead, or won’t stay dead, and that’s really all there is to it. He’ll leave the Night’s Watch and go gallivanting on his own, sooner or later learning the truth about his heritage and meeting up with Daenerys and maybe becoming king. Or maybe none of that will happen. We’ll find out soon enough, but I’m not losing any sleep over it.

But what the hell is going to happen to Queen Cersei in her trial by combat? If she loses, will the kingdom totally fall to shit? If she doesn’t lose, will the kingdom totally fall to shit? Will the Faith rule the city by the time Daenerys or Aegon even show up? Is Aegon the mummer’s dragon, and will he even show up in the television series? Who’s Arya going to kill next? And what about Rickon, the future King in the North?

These are the interesting questions in Game of Thrones season 6, the spoilers I’d really like to know the answer to. That, and what Daenerys is up to next. Heck, I could go on. We’re finally getting more Greyjoys in Game of Thrones season 6, and they’ll be lots of fun too. Honestly, Jon Snow is just fine: I’m giving him a hard time, and his storyline will probably be pretty interesting. But he’s never been the most interesting character in either the books or the show, but he commands outsize attention for some reason (the hair). Everyone is fixated on him. But the truth is, there’s so much more going on.

Jon Snow will, in fact, probably learn his true parentage in Game of Thrones season 6, and do all manner of other things that have been foretold. But he’s always been part of the epic fantasy side of Game of Thrones… not the political drama, but the epic fight between good and evil. And that’s fundamentally less interesting, at least to me. So, sure, I care if he comes back to life or not. But it’s just one aspect of many plot elements in Game of Thrones season 6.
