    Mormont's logic here is the logic that ought to be prevailing in the later seasons.
    "When dead men and worse come hunting for us, do you think it matters who sits on the Iron Throne?"

      +Jakeasaur You need to send as much soldiers up north as possible to have a chance at defeating them. if you wait until the White Walkers come south to fight them you might have no chance. The way the first men and the COTF defeated them during the long night was confronting them head on.

      Rouskey Carpel I don't that, I agree waiting it out would end up badly. Trouble is its gonna end badly no matter what.
      Not that it can or ever will happen, but the best way to deal with the WW would have been to recognise their threat early and send Ser 20 of House Goodmen with Valyrian Swords or something before that many wights could be risen.

    That line
    “If we beheaded every man who ran from the Night, only ghosts would guard the wall.”
    It’s an interesting quote when you remember that the 3rd scene in the entire series was Ned executing a nights watch deserter.
    Really helps hammer in the idea that the nights watch isn’t the honorable institution that Jon thinks it is.
    Of course Jon already knew that at this point but it shows how deep the rot goes if the commander is treating desertion like skipping school.

Never thought I'd see a show that literally had every single element I loved.

      also by one theory, if Jon had just ignored the "real war" then the real war never arrives as they have no way past the Wall without zombie wight dragons.
      Daenerys had already promised to help.
      bringing the wildligns south was like a barest of bandaids and it only made everything worse. by bringing an army of rapists south, Jon alienated his own men and the rest of the entire North which got Rickon killed and thouands more northerners.

    I love how this show makes you think the story is going to go one way and then doesn't. Like when Mormont says at 2:09, "And we will find Benjen Stark, alive or dead."
    In every other show, when a character says something like that, it happens (especially with that dramatic music). This show, you can never tell. Sometimes they foretell correctly, sometimes they don't. That's life.

      Jon agreed to that fact the moment he swore his vows.
      The Starks are one of the few houses to actually keep the vows they swear and bear the consequences for breaking them. That's not moronic, that's the only rightful way.

    When you realise Mormont was more of a father figure to Jon than Eddard ever could be.
    'Jon Snow now, as Commander of the watch and later king in the north, mirrors Jeor Mormonts flexible and realistic sense of honor more than he does Stark. He's not rigid in his beliefs, like his uncle, because Mormont taught him that when you need to do the right thing, when you need to accomplish something for the greater good, you need to be proactive and face any and all challenges directly. He taught him to play the game, something Ned never did...

    I get sad watching the early seasons of Game of Thrones. It was such an amazing show and beautifully crafted storytelling. I wish not to speak of the later seasons.

      I separate the first 4 seasons from the rest of the show.
