I agree that it's odd that jons apparent betrayal of the nights watch on multiple occcasions seems to not have affected his standing. Unless the implication is supposed to be that nobody really gives a shite about the nights watch anymore, you would think that it would be a bigger issue

This is the biggest plot hole in the series IMO. They set up for 5 seasons that the Night's Watch oath is still taken very seriously, especially by those in the North, and now suddenly nobody in the North gives a shite?

The idea that they know he was murdered and came back to life is even less mentally appealing because nobody would believe that.

There's no leadership in the north since Ned left. And after suffering through the Boltons rein, they are pretty willing to look over his transgressions to get a stark back in charge

shite in the 1st episode I think it was they showed Ned decapitating a "deserter" who we already knew was running for his life from the walkers. and everybody nodding saying it was a shame but Ned had to do what he had to do

for thousands of years the watch has been fighting wildlings not walkers, Jon deserts the watch for them, lets them behind the wall, then shows up to meetings with them by his side, and everyone's cool with that

He literally got murdered for doing that


Plus the Umbers whole reason for pairing with the Boltons was because of the wildings

And the houses only joined Jons cause after Sansa and Lady Mormont gave him rousing support and then Jon took down the family that betrayed the starks and tortured most northern houses.

I still don't get why Will ran all the way down to Winterfell instead of just reporting what he saw to the Night's Watch.

He was scared of the zombies that he just saw if he goes back to the watch then they'll send him back out on the side of the wall, as I assume he was a ranger.

Probably tried going south as far as south goes

doing a lot of rewatching lately, and need to say that Alfie Allen has done a tremendous job with Theon. Easily one of the best characters in the story.

not to mention nobody's really told them he was reanimated anyway
for all they know he was unpunished
