Impressive alumni of the J.J. Abrams/Benedict Cumberbatch School of Widespread Untruths, everyone from Kit Harrington to Game of Thrones directors to Siri herself has been lying about the fate of a certain character for the past 10 months. (Even if they weren't technically technically lying, since Jon was indeed dead... before he came back to life on Sunday's episode.)
Just how did they lie to us? Let us count the ways.
