Even worse, grey worm dictates Jon’s punishment, then promptly leaves for another continent. Nobody stops to think, Hey Jon, this dickless count is leaving with his army, never to return......just hang out here and once he’s across the horizon, your good.

My take on this is different. It was negotiated with Grey Worm that Jon would be banished to the Black forever. Grey Worm doesn’t know the story of the Black and they have nothing to defend. Tyrion knows Jon doesn’t want to be king and actually want to live beyond the wall.

It was a ploy to free Jon and place him where he wants to be and ease the tension of GW. That’s why Jon immediately lives the wall and travels with the wildlings.


Maybe I’m giving the writers too much credit. But I felt this was actually done right. Sansa queen of Winterfell. Bran king and Jon gets want he wants. How many times does Jon say he DOESN’T want to be king?

That's great, if it weren't for the pesky Dornish and Ironborn who wanted him punished, too, because they were allied with Daenarys. They would have gone to war alongside the Unsullied if Jon got off scot-free. They did not get on boats headed to Naath.

Yara says this directly at the Kingsmoot and says to let the Unsullied give Jon what he deserves. Arya threatens to cut Yara's throat if she talks about killing Jon again.

Further, Greyworm didn't dictate the punishment. It was a compromise. It's why Tyrion talked about the compromise when he delivered Jon his sentence.

I'm convinced that most of you that shite on the show every opportunity you get never really WATCHED the show.

Bran didn't want Jon around to challenge him.
