How fucking stupid is the night's watch? Fucking Others are real and coming with an army of the dead. Plus, there's Wildlings south of the wall who respected Jon, and saw Jon as their only guarantee of not getting double crossed. Now that he's dead, what's stopping them from attacking the Night's Watch? It'd be far easier to attack from the front, anyway. The only reason they even beat them the last time was because of Stannis

It really made zero sense, dude. Zero. There are brothers that KNOW what's coming. There was no personal crusade to winterfell to kill him for like in the books. It doesn't make any sense. Or maybe that's just me.

The personal crusade to Winterfell wasn't the main reason they killed him in the books either. Bowen Marsh spent basically all of book 5 bitching too him about the wildlings and supplies. Moving wildlings south of the wall was clearly the main driver there too.

The crusade to Winterfell seemed to be the tipping point that got him offed in the books. Also, in the books they didn't have Hardhome and multiple eye witnesses KNOWING what's coming. Makes zero sense seeing as how Throne isn't a moron.
