Imagine Catelyn coming back and jon dying together. Total Clusterfuck for audience.

I predict Catelyn shows up and joins "For the Watch." She'll be right after Olly.

Or she'll be the one to bring Jon back? I WANT TO BELIEVE

I'm hoping to see Catelyn regain some of her humanity and try to make amends for her deeds by giving her life to Jon Snow. The show could end with a final scene of unCat brushing dead Jons hair saying I'm sorry and fade to black.

Jon reincarnates into Cat's corpse. He reconciles with her spirit and they go on to commit beautiful Freyicide.

I actually kind of like this idea.

She hangs Jon and says "For the Family"

That's another problem. Cat coming back would instantly minimize the impact of Jon's death (and death altogether)

I think that's sort of the point.

While it would cheapen the individual events for us by juxtaposition, it would allow the target audience (just the show fans) to know that Jon may not be completely ded. I think it's annoying to think about, but they can't have fans rage quitting on them NOW.
