Jon Snow alive: the internet reacts

Yes!!!!

[Spoilers below... obviously]

'Sorry! I'd like to say sorry for lying to everyone,' Kit Harrington told Entertainment Weekly after Monday night's explosive episode revealed that no, actually, Jon Snow really wasn't dead after all. 'I'm glad that people were upset that he died,' he went on. 'I think my biggest fear was that people were not going to care. Or it would just be, 'Fine, Jon Snow's dead.' But it seems like people had a, similar to the Red Wedding episode, kind of grief about it. Which means something I'm doing—or the show is doing—is right.'

'He's dead' has been the party line for Game of Thrones cast and crew alike since Kit Harrington's character appeared to meet his demise at the end of season 5. But fans were given a sliver of hope when Kit Harrington was spotted out and about in Dublin (one of the show's key filming locations) after the previous season had aired, and appeared to be rather cagey about having his picture taken with fans.

But the show that has more twists and turns than the Sani Pass was bound to throw up something, in this case a very handy hair-cutting spell from Melisandre which brought Jon Snow back to life, despite multiple stab wounds.

And obviously everyone was very, very happy about it. Here are some of the funniest reactions.

1) General elation J-Timberlake in particular was very happy about it:

2) There was general lolz about Melisandre's homemade ressurection method, which involved pouring water over his hair

3) GOT actors besides Harrington chipped in

4) Maisie Williams just found it all quite funny

7) Some were just really cross because they hadn't seen it yet

8) But generally, there was a lot of this:
