What made least sense for me as far as that is concerned... ironclad Send a noteboard - 14/07/2011 11:51:20 AM
Is Jon dead?
I could understand why Ned and Rob were killed off and wasn't surprised; I can see why Danny had to lose it all, but Jon...? That doesn't make any sense!

...was the timing. Why now? The Wildings are through the wall and their leader likes Jon just fine. The Night Watch and queen's men certainly can't take on all wildlings, if that's what this still was about. Also: Jon set out to take on the house that probably killed Stannis. Which isn't his job as commander, but still. Why would the queen and the witch take him out of the game at this point?
*MySmiley*

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
