Oh yes. We were dead only to be resurrected in “Home” and somehow made it to “Oathbreaker” to find a hell of a battle in a flashback and an abundance of information to anatomize.

If you feel as if you might not have comprehended it all, don’t feel as if you walk alone. Last night’s ep served up a lot to digest. Join a man at the water cooler as we attempt to make sense of it all.

We have a highly anticipated new episode of Game of Thrones to look forward to tonight, but until then, here are a couple fun videos to pass the time with!

Last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live on NBC included a funny and pointed sketch centering around Jon’s resurrection on Game of Thrones last week.
