With its new teaser poster for "Game of Thrones," HBO has either abandoned its months-long strategy of steadfastly denying the survival of Jon Snow in Season 6 or it's taking fan trolling to a new level. Whatever the case, the new image shows Kit Harington's fan-favorite character alive, if not exactly well.

Of course, between multiple fan theories, leaked set photos and the obsessive monitoring of the actor's hair length, it's been clear for a while that the Season 5 finale wasn't the last we'd see of the Lord High Commander of the Night's Watch. Just how he'll survive the bloody attack by his own men, and what state he'll be in afterward, will keep us puzzling for a while longer.

"Game of Thrones" returns in April on HBO.
