WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD

Last week’s episode of Game of Thrones featured Jon Snow leading a ragtag group of men north of The Wall. The gang was something of a who’s who’s of Westeros’ toughest survivors, with each of them having avoided certain doom on more than one occasion.

However, of these hardy heroes only two have actually beaten death itself: Beric Dondarrion and Jon Snow. Both men have died and been resurrected by a red priest or priestess of R’hollr — Beric by Thoros of Myr and Jon by Melisandre — and both still carry with them the scars of that experience, be they physical or emotional.

For Jon, he still grapples with the implications of his resurrection, while Beric (who at this point has died and returned about a half dozen times) has come to accept his continued life’s purpose — being a warrior for the Lord of Light, defending those who cannot defend themselves. The two men discuss this for a time while marching north in “Beyond The Wall”, but for as captivating a pitch as Beric makes, the scene never touches on the deeper meaning of what the two have experienced.

There’s no mention of how being brought back from the dead can change a person, and that with each resurrection, a person loses some of who they were before. Beric has certainly had these kinds of existential thoughts in the past, mentioning to Arya as far back as season 3 that every time he comes back, he’s a “bit less.”

Does Jon feel this way, too? And if so, why not discuss it with the only other person who’s ever died and come back?
