- 4. The Wildlings and Night’s Watch
So, the one guy who was holding the tenuous peace between Wildlings and the Night’s Watch is gone and it’s highly unlikely Tormund (Kristofer Hivju), the reluctant Wildling leader and Jon’s ally, will be pleased. They don’t call him Giantsbane for no reason.
Further, the whole reason Jon was assassinated was because Alliser Thorne (Owen Teale) and the other Watchmen felt Jon betrayed them by sacrificing their brothers at Hardhome in defense of Wildlings. Thorne will presumably take over but is the milk spilt with the surviving Widlings already situated behind the Wall? Or does he propose a Drumpf and attempt to deport them back? Whatever the answer, you can bet peace isn’t it.
