Prince Yourwetdream Aeryn Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Don't you think that Lord Commander became more dangerous position than Prince of Pentos? Who guarantees (after Stannis's death) that soldiers surrounded by Others' and winter threat will not try the third mutiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skahaz mo Kandaq Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Ser Aliser is the most fit. I am hoping it's him. Bowen Marsh is not a bad sort but Aliser is an annointed knight with good battle skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makk Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Jaime Lannister. Although I'm not sure if the 999th or the 1000th is a more important number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvo the Crow Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Dolorous Edd. He is the guy liked by almost everyone in CB, other castles would follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Valicious Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 It also depends on how long Jon stays dead... If he rises before the new election is over what will happen? Elections take time in the NW. We saw what happens when someone is brought back after 3 days (Lady Stoneheart), if it takes longer for me (well they are in colder place and his body will probably fare better) it will be even worse. I would say Edd is the best candidate right now. Thorne's whereabouts are unknown so... But again if Jon rises, how could they explain they have a new Lord Commander to everyone? Would they even believe he came back from the dead? It's more likely that people would say he never died and it was just a trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euron III Greyjoy Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I suppose Denys Mallister would be one of the best candidates. Bowen Marsh seems too weak willed to be Lord Commander, Alliser Thorne might be decent, but he's beyond the Wall somewhere, Cotter Pyke is essentially stranded at Hardhome. Who else is there really? I don't think it will matter at the end of the day, since Jon will probably be back before a new one gets chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he carries on after loping off a bunch of heads with longclaw In terms of story arc development, I do doubt that he carries on as before, but that's what he should really have done.

I think he will carry on. I doubt he'll come back as he used to be. He will be focused on stopping the Others, more so now that he was brought back by R'hllor. He will eventually go back to Winterfell but right he would have to go as a deserter as no one would buy the "my watch has ended because I died". How would the other northern houses look at him if he became one of those Ned would have executed without the blink of an eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they even believe he came back from the dead? It's more likely that people would say he never died and it was just a trick. Jon's fan club like their double-standards. If death relieves one of their vows then it stands to reason that death also relieves one of all the privileges and rights they had before death. Such as the right to remain lord commander. He is not coming back to command the watch. Nobody is going to vote for him. Who with sanity would vote for a commander who betrayed them all. I don't believe death relieves one of their vows when they come back to life. Death is a medical technicality and poorly defined. If he comes back then it is assumed he didn't really die. His obligations to the watch remain. And he remains lord commander as long as the other men accept him. That is really the fly in the soup. I don't see how the watch will take him back. Everyone knows what he did with Mance Rayder. They know he was going to start a war with Roose Bolton. Bowen Marsh will take command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will come back as a being resurrected by the white walkers. He won’t be a warm blooded human. That’s why he will be able to wear an armor made of ice. All memories of warmth will be gone.

TheThreeEyedCow Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The death of Jon is the death of the fragile alliance that had existed at the wall. So it only makes sense for things to get very messy in the aftermath of the mutiny. I don't think we'll have another election. GRRM has already written about one of them and the next part will be something different again. I think Marsh will attempt to assume command OR Alisser has returned and he'll attempt to seize the opportunity. Either way, I see this as the first sign of the Wall failing. The Others will be on them soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerg Sknab Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 What difference does it make? Queen's Men, Mel, Tormund, Wun Wun, Barroq, Ghost shucks even Cregan Karstark have more authority than the NW at this point. The NW has effectively lost its raison d'etre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baelor 'Breakspear' Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think the there will be a NW civil war kinda. Maybe mutineers vs Cotter Pyke or Mallister vs free folk vs Mel and Stannis troops remaining at the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light a wight tonight Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Not Bowen Marsh. He and his little group have mutinied and killed their rightful Lord Commander. That's a capital offense in any military. If they aren't killed on the spot I see there being a "block party" with the mutineers as guests of honor.

If Bowen Marsh takes over it'll be a short lived and chaotic shit storm. I think Davos and Asha are headed to the Wall so we should have three (with Mel) POV's to watch the Watch implode.
